Review on πŸ’§ AHC Aqualuronic Hydrating Face Cream: Korean Skincare with Triple Hyaluronic Acid for Deep Hydration - 1.69 oz by Ben Hamilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

$200 convenience store priced product.

My skin is getting so dry I put petroleum jelly on my face and it doesn't even feel that good. I use retinol and now I can move my face without feeling tight. The first ingredients make up the largest percentage, of course, but that's because they're the foundation. Excellent base. They're made of various thickeners and (healthy) synthetic oils that help it glide over the skin like snail slime. Then I notice extracts that, unlike synthetic fragrances, are non-irritating. Very mild scent but I prefer unscented. Because we work with extracts, you know you are in the 1-2% range. It's not that bad, you can just use 2% hyaluronic acid (takes tons of moisture for your skin) or it will get so thick it's useless. And they all have three hyaluronic acid molecules in small, medium and large sizes for different skin absorption depths! In addition, there are anti-inflammatory ingredients. This is a simple list of ingredients with the right combination. It even has ingredients that fight bacteria and acne without irritation or oiliness. I expect noticeable external results after 2-6 months of regular use. Safe to use with other active skin care products such as niacinamides, excessive use with retinol may cause irritation. It is light and therefore does not form lumps when applying products. Aside from the toner, I don't believe in them yet. The cosmetic chemist community has no real definition of what a toner is. Just buy it.
