What's actually doing the work

Hyaluronic Acid
Sodium Hyaluronate / HA / Multi-Weight HA
Acid
A glycosaminoglycan naturally present throughout the body, holding up to 1000x its weight in water. The most powerful naturally occurring humectant. Multi-weight HA (high, medium and low molecular weight) delivers hydration at different skin depths. Production declines significantly with age.
