A humectant magnet for moisture. Apply to damp skin and seal with cream so it pulls water IN, not out.

What winter does to your skin

Cold air and indoor heating strip moisture, so layer hydrating toners and essences under a richer cream or occlusive.

Winter is when barrier support outranks everything. Actives that were comfortable in August frequently are not in January. Hyaluronic Acid works on dryness & dehydration, dullness & glow, and it is normally applied BOTH.
