Sodium hyaluronate helps with these skin types
Dry Skin
As a humectant, it pulls in water from the air and helps to retain moisture to keep your skin hydrated.
Normal Skin
It is great for oily skin as it leaves minimal emollient residue and does not clog pores.
Helps with these environmental & lifestyle factors
Keeps your skin healthy even if you spend a lot of time in the sun. The sun's heat dries out areas of unprotected skin and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burning and photoaging.
Keeps your skin hydrated and supple by locking in moisture even if you live in a region with dry air. Air that lacks humidity tends to dry skin out and cause itching, flaking or cracking of the skin.
Calibrated for every age
It refines the skin, making it smoother, creating a more even skin tone, a brighter appearance, and gives you radiant skin from within.
It is a perfect fit to address the primary skin care concerns for people in their 20s and early 30s. Make it a part of your regular skin care routine for healthy, beautiful skin.
This is a great time to make it a part of your skincare routine as you start thinking about incorporating more ingredients with anti-aging benefits.
It is a great bet for consistent, everyday incorporation in your skincare routine as it not only will tighten up your anti-aging regimen but also help you achieve firmer, more youthful skin.

Tips for using sodium hyaluronate
This humectant can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water — but only if you use it right. Here is how.
- Apply to damp skin Sodium hyaluronate pulls in ambient water, so smoothing it onto slightly damp skin after cleansing gives it moisture to draw from.
- Always seal it in In dry air it can pull water from deeper skin. Follow it with an occlusive moisturizer, then sunscreen, to hold hydration in.
- More isn’t better Concentrations above 2% can have the opposite effect and dehydrate. A lightweight, well-dosed formula does more than a heavy one.
- Reach for it in winter When cold air leaves skin parched, this humectant helps normalize hydration and restore suppleness without a greasy finish.
- Get the right formula built The Skin Genome Quiz takes 3 minutes and determines whether sodium hyaluronate belongs in your personalized routine.
