๐Ÿ”ฌ How It Actually Works

A highly advanced form of Polyglutamic Acid where the molecules are chemically bound together into a 3D cross-linked mesh. It sits on the skin and delivers water continuously, holding 4x more moisture than HA.

Provides prolonged, intense hydration, smooths the surface, and prevents water loss.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

Acts like a slow-release sponge on the stratum corneum.
