You don’t need this under sunscreen. I don’t care what the bottle says.
Using it in the AM just makes your moisturizer slide around like a greased pancake. Save the slip for night.
It’s a watery serum — 100ml for like $16. Mizon claims it “floods skin with moisture.” I call it a cheap thrill that actually works.
Three-drop rule
More than 3 drops = sticky face on your pillow. Don’t be greedy.
Damp skin only
Slap this on wet skin or it does nothing. I mean dripping wet.
Layer it last
Put this after toner, before anything heavy. It’s a water bomb, not a sealant.

It’s basically 100% hyaluronic acid + water. No fragrance, no alcohol, no drama. But the molecule size matters — this uses low-molecular-weight HA so it actually sinks in instead of sitting on top like a plastic film.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: Sucks moisture from the air into your skin
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: Smaller molecules = deeper penetration
- Water: Carrier. Not exciting. Necessary.
- No fragrance: Won’t make you sneeze at 2AM

It’s basically water. No jelly, no slime. Absorbs in like 8 seconds if your face is damp. Two seconds if your face is dry and you’ll hate it.
Week two: I woke up with less crepe-y texture around my eyes. But my T-zone got a little oilier — turns out over-hydrating can trick your pores into party mode.

My fine lines looked softer — not gone, just less pissed off. Did it change my life? No. Did it stop my skin from feeling like parchment by 3PM? Yes.
Use it at night on damp skin, three drops max, and your face will thank you. Morning use is just a waste of good slip.
