Expert Tips & Pairings

Maximize your results with these expert application techniques.

  • Damp Skin Application: Apply this serum to slightly damp skin; hyaluronic acid works best when it has moisture to grab onto and pull into the skin.
  • Seal It In: Always follow up with a moisturizer to lock the hydration in and prevent it from evaporating into the air.
  • The Layering Rule: Use this as one of your first steps after cleansing, as its water-based formula needs to be closest to the skin for best absorption.
