Hyaluronic acid reigns supreme among hydrating ingredients. The molecule attracts water to the skin and can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water, for an instant hit of hydration (and skin plumping benefits, too). This newbie contains not one but two kinds of the powerhouse, which work both above and below the surface of the skin. Bonus points for the featherweight feel, ideal for anyone who doesn't like thicker formulas.
Talk about an interesting ingredient story. The water in this moisturizer comes from a secret spring in Hungary's Carpathian Valley, where the Earth's crust is the thinnest, allowing water to absorb a maximum amount of minerals. Combine that beauty-boosting water with nine different botanicals and a triple lipid complex and you've got yourself a moisturizer that not only hydrates but improves texture and tone, too.
Admittedly a splurge, this one is well worth every penny, replacing all your individual day creams, night creams, eye creams and/or serums. Thanks to cytomimetic technology, it reads the macromolecular construction of your skin (stay with us here), so that each ingredient can work in the most efficient and effective way possible. The bottom line: It gives you exactly what your skin needs at various times of the day and even as you age.
