Hyaluronic acid hydrates and soothes dry, sensitive skin; some find it light.

What the community says

A lightweight hydrating serum featuring hyaluronic acid for moisture and barrier support. It suits dry, sensitive skin needing extra hydration, especially alongside retinoids. Some users find it too light or experience mild pilling, so layering a moisturizer is often necessary.
