Hyaluronic Acid for Rosacea

A pure hydrator that holds water in your skin. Makes skin look plumper and smoother almost immediately.

Why it works for Rosacea

Draws water into your skin to hydrate it, without the heavy, sealing feel that can set off flushing. Recommended as part of the gentle rosacea routine.

How Hyaluronic Acid works

Polysaccharide humectant that binds up to 1000x its weight in water within the stratum corneum.
