What the community says

Backed by 3 studies

A hyaluronic-acid serum with betaine, panthenol, beta-glucan, and botanical extracts for layered hydration and calming. It has the slippery, snail-mucin-like feel fans mention, though the essential-oil blend makes it a risky pick for reactive skin.

What the science says

Hyaluronic acid has some evidence behind it for helping dehydrated skin 1. The studies that tested it directly found it improved how much water the skin held, and one found it helped more than a placebo 1. Only one study also reported firmer-feeling skin and less deep wrinkles, so that finding rests on thinner evidence 1.
