Geek & Gorgeous HA 5 Rich
DESCRIPTION
Geek & Gorgeous HA 5 Rich contains 5 forms of hyaluronic acid in varying molecular weight and structure. These join forces in this silky & rich formula to hydrate, soften and plump the skin.
Why We Love It
This serum offers serious hydration for the outermost layers of the skin = plump and dewy skin all day! Perfect for those who prefer mid-large molecular weights in their Hyaluronic Acid formulas.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. This formula focuses on ultra-moisturizing high-molecular-weight versions for ample surface hydration as well as on medium-molecular weight versions, whose strong point is to strengthen the skin barrier and to reinforce the skin’s natural defence & healing mechanisms.
Who's it for? Everyone, but especially for normal to dry skin types. For combo to oily skin, see the Light version.

THE FORMULA FOCUS INGREDIENTS
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
A new generation, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, whose water binding ability is several times greater than the already amazing water-binding ability of hyaluronic acid. Also offers longer-term moisturizing benefits.
Sodium Hyaluronate
The most common, salt-form of hyaluronic acid that can be found in larger and smaller molecular weight in the formula.
Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract
The extract of silver ear mushroom known for its amazing water-binding abilities. It contains sugar constituents including Glucuronic acid, one of the building blocks of Hyaluronic Acid. It also cosmetically elegant, non-sticky, and has additional antioxidant benefits.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
A smaller molecular weight version of Hyaluronic Acid that is known for its ability to reinforce the skin’s natural defense & healing mechanisms.
Panthenol
A classic skincare ingredient that is a reliable soothing, moisturizing and skin-protecting agent.
