ingreds & research
key ingreds:
Glycerin - A natural, water-binding moisturizer that’s also in our skin. It is the gold standard, most proven humectant that goes beyond simple hydration. It keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects against irritation, and helps to restore the barrier. 5% of Glycerin counts as a medium amount, ideal for combination-oily skin.
Ectoin - An amazing, all-around skin protectant. This well-researched, multi-functional active has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pollution & light protecting, skin hydrating, barrier repairing as well as anti-aging properties.
Isosorbide Dicaprylate - A modern skin hydrator and barrier builder molecule that works particularly well with Glycerin. It is known to upregulate Aquaporin-3, the important water & glycerin channels in the epidermis.
Xylitylglucoside + Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol – A sugar based humectant trio that works in synergy with glycerin to increase the skin’s water-binding capacity and strengthen the skin barrier.
Bisabolol + Allantoin - Two classic skincare ingredients known for their skin soothing abilities.

My daughter found her HG moisturizer. Her oily, acne-prone, dehydrated skin couldn't be any happier.
If you’re young and don’t have any wrinkles and have oily skin this might work for you, doesn’t cause break outs but by the end of the day my wrinkles on my forehead are very pronounced, and my skin feels dehydrated.. so not great anti-aging wise whatsoever. Seems like a very basic cream
It is amazing. My skin loves this moisturiser
I absolutely loved this products and the price! But I just really really wish it came in a bigger size!!
I really love this product because it is super hydrating and soothing, yet still feels very light. I have sensitive acne prone combination normal skin that gets dry during this time of the year. For nighttime use this doesn't give me enough nourishment but it is perfect as a moisturizer under sunscreen and as a hydrating layer under a more thick moisturizer. This is a reliable hydrating product because it has never irritated my skin, even when it's more compromised due tue cold weather and going to hard with actives. I know I can always use it with no issues and haven't found any problems combining it with other products. I was suprised by how calming and soothing it feels. This replaces a hydrating serum in my routine. My only wish is that the tube was of the foldable type, so that you know how much product there still is left. Also wish that is was 80ml or 100ml instead of the tiny 50ml. IMO it is still good for the price considering how expensive life and resources have become. 9/10
