Hyaluronic acid essence absorbs fast without film; may clog pores on oily skin.
What the community says
This watery hyaluronic acid essence hydrates deeply and layers well under makeup. Suitable for most skin types, though oily and acne-prone users report occasional pore clogging. Those prone to closed comedones might want to patch test before committing.
