WELLAGE Crème à l'Acide Hyaluronique 100 Réel 80ml

Most hyaluronic creams put water first and the hyaluronic acid somewhere down the list. This one does the opposite. The WELLAGE Real Hyaluronic 100 Cream is an 80ml moisturizer with hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid listed first at 500,000ppm, ahead of water on the ingredient list.

Around it sit several supporting ingredients. Squalane, shea butter and caprylic/capric triglyceride give the cream its body, while panthenol, allantoin, niacinamide, Ceramide NP and cholesterol handle the comfort side. Several further hyaluronic acid forms appear lower down, each with its own ppm figure, alongside amino acids including glycine, arginine, histidine and serine. The texture is often described as sherbet-like, thicker in the jar than it feels on the skin, and it absorbs without a sticky finish.

It may suit dry, dehydrated and normal skin as the final step. If you prefer a very light gel finish, this richer texture may be more than you want in summer.
