I bought this on a whim during a 2 AM Target run. Desperation purchase.
It’s now the only serum I’ve ever finished and immediately repurchased. The bottle is tiny but lasts two months — a drop is all you need.
It’s $8.99 for 1 oz. I was skeptical of the “high-concentration” claim at that price. L’Oréal Paris says it plumps. I say it’s a hydration bandage.
1.5% Pure HA
A simple, no-frills percentage that actually means something.
No Fragrance
A miracle for a drugstore product — smells like nothing.
Airless Pump
This is luxury packaging. No contamination, you get every last drop.
It’s not just one type of hyaluronic acid. They use a mix of molecular weights — that’s the pro move. Big molecules sit on top, small ones dive deeper.
- Pure Hyaluronic Acid: The main event for surface plumping
- Hyaluronic Acid: A lower weight for deeper hydration
- Glycerin: The unsung hero that locks the water in
- Vitamin B5: Soothes any tightness from the HA
The texture is slick — like a thicker water. Absorbs in under 10 seconds. Leaves a faint, satisfying tackiness, not a sticky film.
By week two, my foundation stopped clinging to dry patches. The surprise? It layers beautifully under my retinol — no pilling.
My skin is bouncier. Not “dewy” — just adequately hydrated. It didn’t magically erase my fine lines, but they look softer, less thirsty.
This is the best $9 you can spend at the drugstore. It does one job perfectly and makes everything else you use work better.
