Gokujyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid Essence

Source: From product name

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": diglycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

hydroxyethyl urea 4.1% - 5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients

glycosyl trehalose 0.4% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.8% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of hyaluronic acid that works as an excellent moisturizer by attracting water into the upper layer of the skin. Is typically feels less sticky on the skin compared to the usual hyaluronic acid

Exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: hydroxyethyl urea.

hydroxyethyl urea 4.1% - 5%
