Hyaluronic Acid

Dewy Skin Serum

/PHD/ 2% Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum is powered by a unique triple-weight Sodium Hyaluronate complex—low, mid, and high molecular weights—all working together for multi-depth hydration:

Low Molecular Weight (~5 kDa): Penetrates deeper layers to plump from within

Mid Molecular Weight (~50–100 kDa): Delivers balanced hydration and helps support the skin barrier

High Molecular Weight (~1500 kDa): Stays on the surface to lock in moisture and soothe

Why does molecular weight matter?

Because the size of the molecule determines how deep it can go and what benefit it provides. Low molecular weight hydrates from within, mid supports the skin barrier, and high locks in moisture on the surface.

That’s why we’ve used all three—for maximum effectiveness and hydration at every layer.

Not ours! /PHD/ 2% Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum is designed to be weightless and non-sticky—thanks to our multi-molecular HA blend and lightweight humectants like Pentylene Glycol and Panthenol.

But here’s why some HA serums feel tacky:

Hyaluronic Acid pulls moisture into the skin. Without enough humidity in the air—or if applied on dry skin—it can sit on the surface and feel sticky.

Stickiness often depends on:

- Concentration – Higher % can increase tackiness

- Molecular weight – Just Large molecules = heavier feel

- Lack of layering – Without a moisturizer on top, it stays on the surface

/PHD/ Council Tip: Always apply on damp skin and seal with a moisturizer for hydration—and zero stickiness.

That’s a very common myth. As a dermatologist, I often see people with oily or acne-prone skin avoid ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides, thinking they’re only for dry skin—but that’s not true.

In fact, oily skin often becomes that way because it’s dehydrated. When your skin lacks water (not oil), it may start producing excess sebum to compensate—leading to more shine, clogged pores, and breakouts.

That’s where water-based hydrators like Hyaluronic Acid help. Our /PHD/ 2% Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum is:

- Lightweight
- Packed with Multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid for layered hydration
- Balanced with Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) and Panthenol to deeply hydrate without stickiness

It hydrates without adding oil—helping oily skin stay balanced, healthy, and clear.

/PHD/ Council Tip: Always apply Hyaluronic Acid on slightly damp skin and seal it with a gentle moisturizer—even oily skin needs a good barrier!

That’s actually a great hack for long-lasting hydration under makeup—and yes, as a dermatologist, I can confirm it works well when done right.

The good news is /PHD/ 2% Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum is specifically formulated with a fast-absorbing, non-sticky texture that layers beautifully under moisturizers, sunscreens, and makeup—without pilling.

That said, pilling can sometimes happen with any product if:
- Products aren’t given time to absorb properly
- Too much product is applied
- Or when multiple textures (especially silicone-heavy ones) clash

Use just 2–3 drops on slightly damp skin, press it in, wait a few seconds, then continue with your moisturizer and makeup. You’ll get smooth, hydrated, and pill-free skin that holds makeup better all day.

Absolutely. /PHD/ 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum doesn’t just hydrate—it holds moisture in with HA + PGA. Think of it as a moisture magnet that calms dry, flaky areas fast. Plus, soothing humectants like Panthenol and Urea help calm flaky, dry areas.

Great question—and one we hear a lot.
Short answer: No, it’s not a replacement.

Here’s why:
Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a hydrator, not an occlusive. It pulls water into your skin but without a moisturizer on top, that hydration can evaporate—leaving your skin drier than before.

/PHD/ Council Tip: Think of your serum as the drink, and your moisturizer as the lid that keeps it from spilling. Use both, always.

You'll notice its effects both visually and functionally. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a humectant—meaning it draws water into the skin and binds it there. When it’s working:

- You may notice fewer dry patches and tighter-feeling areas feel more supple.

- Skin elasticity and bounce increase — With continued use, your skin may feel more resilient and “plump” due to better water retention in the extracellular matrix.

- Surface texture appears smoother — Especially in areas with fine lines or roughness, HA can create a hydrated, more even appearance.

Usually, visible results like dewier skin and better makeup wear show up within 2 weeks of consistent use.
