Hyaluronic Acid

A hyaluronic acid serum is a hydrating step built around hyaluronic acid, a humectant that helps skin hold on to water so it feels plumper and more comfortable. Many Korean formulas combine more than one form of hyaluronic acid and pair it with centella, panthenol or ceramides.

Here you'll find hyaluronic acid serums, toners, creams and masks from SKIN1004, Torriden, Isntree, Haruharu Wonder and The LAB by BLANC DOUX. Apply a hyaluronic toner or serum to slightly damp skin after cleansing, then seal it in with a moisturizer, especially in dry winter air. Light gel textures suit oily skin, while hyaluronic acid creams suit drier skin.
