What's in it
The shortest ingredient list we make.
Everywhere else on this site we argue that more actives, kept intact, is the harder thing to do. This product is the opposite argument. A hydrating base has one job, and every ingredient that isn't doing that job is something else for your skin to react to.

No fragrance. No essential oils. No silicones. No alcohol. No dye. No plant extracts — which sounds like a shortcut and is the opposite: botanicals are the most common cause of a reaction in a product like this.
If you're used to reading ingredient lists, you'll notice two things. Sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid are both here. They're not the same ingredient twice — they're different molecular weights, and they do different jobs at different depths.
The preservative system is two ingredients, not five. Hydroxyacetophenone and 1,2-hexanediol, no parabens and no phenoxyethanol. On a formula this simple you can get away with a lighter system, so we did.
Hyaluronic acid isn't one ingredient.
It's a family of molecules that behave differently depending on size. Most inexpensive HA serums use one weight, because one is cheaper and the label reads the same.
What people add it to
Nobody buys this on its own
It's $26 and it's a booster — it exists to make something else work better. Here's what it usually goes in the basket with.
NAD+ Blue Peptide Mist
Mist first, booster second, while the skin is still damp. The mist brings twelve actives, this holds the water they're working in.
$41 + $26 = $67
Advanced Peptide Serum
The booster goes underneath. Peptides work better on hydrated skin, and the serum spreads further over a damp base.

Hypochlorous Acid Mineral Spray [HOCl+]
HOCl+ to reset, NAD+ to treat, this to hold it. The three-step version of the whole range, and it clears free shipping.
