FAQ
How is HA⁵ Hydra Collagen Water Burst different from a standard moisturizer?
Unlike traditional creams, this formula uses five molecular weights of HA plus vegan Hydra Collagen and a microbiome complex, giving both fast-acting and sustained hydration with a cushiony “burst” sensation.
Can I layer this under serums or retinols?
Yes. Its lightweight texture makes it ideal to layer over serums, retinoids, or treatments before applying your final seal or SPF.
How long will hydration last?
Clinical data support up to 24 hours of hydration from a single application.
Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes. The formula is free of fragrance, oils, sulfates, and silicones and is noncomedogenic — it is suitable for most skin types.
When will I see a difference?
Many users notice smoother texture and dewy feel immediately; improvements in firmness and barrier support typically show within days of consistent use.
What are prebiotics, and why are they important in skincare?
Prebiotics act as nourishment for the beneficial bacteria on your skin, helping maintain a balanced microbiome. A healthy microbiome supports the skin barrier, reduces visible fine lines and other signs of aging, and promotes a smoother, more resilient complexion. The HA⁵ Hydra Collagen Water Burst Moisturizer includes a plant-based carbohydrate and lactobacillus ferment, prebiotics that help reinforce the skin barrier, preserve the skin’s natural ecosystem, and defend against environmental stressors.
What’s the difference between hydrators and moisturizers?
Hydrators work within the skin to restore hyaluronic acid levels and improve the skin’s ability to attract and retain water, providing deep internal hydration. Moisturizers, on the other hand, act on the surface to seal in moisture, prevent evaporation, and protect the outermost layer of skin from dryness.
How do the hydrator and moisturizer work together?
The HA⁵ Hydra Collagen Hydrator replenishes moisture from within, restoring the skin’s internal water balance. The HA⁵ Hydra Collagen Water Burst Moisturizer then locks in that hydration at the surface, preventing moisture loss and enhancing barrier strength. Together, they create visibly plump, dewy, and healthy-looking skin with lasting hydration.
Treat your skin to a renewed sense of bounce, dewy radiance, and barrier strength with this next-level moisturizer. Its feather-light “water burst” texture makes hydration feel effortless, while the advanced formula delivers real results you can see and feel. Make this your everyday essential and let your skin glow with vitality.
