Hyaluronic acid

With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture to the upper layers of the skin, leaving skin feeling hydrated.

​ ​​Glycerin

As a natural humectant, glycerin retains water in the skin to make it hydrated and comfortable.

​​​ ​​Vitamin E

Vitamin E, an oil-soluble antioxidant, can quench free radicals on the skin and stabilize retinaldehyde for optimal strength.
