Used this AM for a week — looked dewy, not greasy. Used it PM for two nights — woke up with a chin crater.
The difference isn’t the serum. It’s what you put on top. Sunscreen locks in the plumping. Night cream seals in the breakout.
$48 for 30ml. The brand claims it “builds skin’s moisture barrier in 7 days.” I called bullshit until day 4.
Three-layer texture
Feels like water, then gel, then nothing. Absorbs in 9 seconds flat.
No fragrance game
Smells like nothing. My reactive skin didn’t even twitch.
Dual-use claim
Says AM and PM. Liars. My skin said PM is a trap.

Three layers of hyaluronic acid — low, medium, high molecular weight. They penetrate at different depths so you’re not just wet on the surface. Plus ceramides and something called “polyglutamic acid” that holds 4x more water than HA.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: surface plumping, no stickiness
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: sinks deeper, actually lasts
- Ceramide NP: repairs the damage you did with that retinol
- Polyglutamic Acid: the overachiever that locks everything in

Squeezed two drops — feels like cold silk. Spreads across my whole face in 3 pats. Dries down to nothing. No tackiness. No waiting.
Week 2: AM use = skin looks filtered. PM use = tiny whiteheads on my jawline. Turns out layering it under a heavy moisturizer traps bacteria. Who knew.

Fine lines around my mouth? Less obvious by week 3. The weird dry patch near my nose? Gone by day 5. But my pores didn’t shrink — they just looked less sad because they were actually hydrated.

AM only. Forever. This is a daytime plumping serum that moonlights as a breakout trigger if you use it wrong.
