Description
Hyaluronic Acid + Reishi Mushroom + Red Algae
A unique hyaluronic acid serum that combines the mycelial wisdom of reishi and the marine hydration of red algae. Long and short-chain hyaluronic acid molecules provide potent hydration that penetrate the dermal layers and continuously feed the skin with much-need moisture. When used daily, this serum will act as a super boost to re-hydrate dry skin and help to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Red algae is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and polysaccharides that exalt high moisture retaining properties and helps maintain skin elasticity (Chan, P., 2014). Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) extract encourages faster cell renewal, contains antioxidant enzymes to protect skin from oxidative damage, and can suppress hyper-pigmentation of the skin (Wu, Y., et. al, 2016). Our 2% concentration of bacteria-derived hyaluronic acid from the Streptococcus equi. strain is completely vegan and will invite moisture to intermingle with water and enter your pores, plumping them up with a nice moisture coat that invites other bioactive compounds to enter as well.
How does it smell?
A faint yet bright bouquet of rose and fresh conifer that is derived from pure hydrosols. Ethereal and dissipates quickly.
Use two pumps of serum onto clean, damp skin. Since hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture, prep your skin with the moisture it is to retain (pair with our Elderflower hydrating toner!). The serum will feel slightly tacky for a moment but will quickly dissolve. Follow with ROMI facial oil or moisturizer afterwards. This will lock in the hydration and slow down the transdermal evaporation of water from your skin. We recommend our Queen of the Winter oil or the Naked Moisturizer.

The price tag on this one kept me from purchasing for a while because there are a lot more affordable hyaluronic serums on the market. However, this product is in a group all on its own! I am about to be on my third purchase and I am obsessed with this! My skin craves it and it’s the first thing o reach for every morning. It is by far the best product I have used on my skin.
