COSRX HYALURONIC ACID HYDRATION POWER ESSENCE

Hyaluronic acid is one skincare ingredient that should be a part of every skincare routine especially if you are in your 30’s like me and want to have a fighting chance against wrinkles.  Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in your body. It plays a critical role in healthy skin; by controlling physical characteristics of the epidermis cells. It can hold 1000 times its weight in water which allows the skin to achieve greater suppleness and elasticity. 

However, as we age the skin loses its ability to retain moisture consequently leading to wrinkles which is why having products like COSRX HYLARONIC ACID HYDRA POWER ESSENCE is essential to your daily routine.

CONCLUSION

 PRO

·         It plumped skin. My skin literally felt like a baby’s bum by day two

·         It left my skin hydrated and feeling soft.

·         It was great for the dry winter months because it helped with dry skin around my nose

·         It did not break me out

·         No harsh chemicals or fragrance

·         The size is a huge plus. I have used a lot of B5 HYLARONIC ACID in the past and most of them come in small bottles, with a hefty price tag and last about 2 months. COSRX HYLARONIC ACID power essence could last at least twice as long with comparable results.

·         All skin types and conditions can use it

·         Absorbs well

·         Great for sun damaged skin

·         With prolonged use, it could soften the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture

 CONS

NONE
