You've never seen an HA serum like this

In the skincare world, hyaluronic acid is friends with everyone. It’s an ideal hydrating ingredient for all skin types (including those with oily or acne-prone skin because it won’t clog pores), and it plays nicely with any other actives you may apply before or after it. It poses little to no risk of irritation to sensitive skin—and it hydrates to smooth and plump the skin on contact.

Because of its universal appeal, there are too many hyaluronic acid-based products to count. So when I come across a totally new kind of formulation it catches my attention. Meet Saro de Rue’s Freeze-Dried Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging System, and be warned, you’re probably going to want it.

 When you get a traditional HA serum, it’s hard to know exactly how much of this moisture-attracting ingredient you’re getting since it’s suspended in a carrier (usually water). But with Saro du Rue’s approach, you get single-use tablets that are comprised of 98.5% HA (along with a bit of squalane and vitamin E). And this isn’t just any regular HA, it has a precisely formulated molecular weight that’s small enough to get into the skin but large enough to deliver a good amount of water to quench your skin’s thirst for up to 72 hours.

Now for the fun part… You add eight to 10 drops of Pure Activator to transform the tablet into a silky serum, and this carrier emulsion has several key skin benefits of its own. From antioxidant-rich pomegranate and white mulberry extracts to niacinamide and wrinkle-smoothing adenosine, the end result is a plumping, firming, brightening and, of course, ultra-hydrating treatment.

Each set comes with a 60-day supply—but keep in mind that the instructions only recommend using it every other evening. Further proof that this hyaluronic acid is so potent it keeps your skin moisturized for a whole two days!
