Most Helpful Positive Review Smooths fine lines and wrinkles When I turned 40 and wearing facemasks all day at work (am in hsalthcare) I was developing creases that were staying around my nose and between my eyebrows and around my eyes. I also noticed wrinkles upon waking which was new the past few months (maybe stress and dry winter weather). I started using this and if was a lifesaver! I have combo skin so slathering thick creams was breaking me out but not getting rid of the creases and wrinkles. Only after I started using this essense (use after cleansing, toner, serum, then essense, but before moisturizer or sunscreens) did the fine lines plump up seemingly overnight. This gives more product that other "glassskin serums" or essenses for the price and I saw results quickly. I didnt break out with this at all and I have fairly sensitive skin with hormonal cystic acne.
Most Helpful Critical Review Too many synthetic ingredients, IRRITATING! I enjoyed the fact that it made my skin feel and look very moisturized without that fake greasy, sit on top of your skin/ mask feeling that mostly all skincare with dimethicone tend to do... But minutes after application, my face started feeling flushed/hot and got red/irritation so I sadly had to wash it off. Please consider making more natural products without synthetic ingredients. Maybe a goat milk essence? No oils/only HA/no irritating plant extracts only fruit and juice extracts like drunk elephants products

Newbie to HA from McAllen, TX
I've tried countless moisturizers to remedy my dry skin and never used HA before. This is the first HA product I use and man, it's changed my skin forever. It has a slight tacky feeling, but nothing that stays after you moisturize. This product truly plumps and moisturizes my skin and I will never go back! This is a lifesaver and honestly, it's so good I couldn't stop touching my face at first. 😅 Also, I tried this brand because The Welsh brothers, Robert and James, showed it on one of their skincare videos.
Best hyaluronic acid I've used 5
imk from Peachtree Corners, GA
I hadn't heard of this brand until I stumbled upon it at an Ulta store. Wow! Worth it. It's not at all tacky like some other brands and noticeably hydrated the skin. It's easy to put other products over or under it and makeup sits well over it.
its a consistent repurchase 5
laura from Massachusetts
I love this serum. You get a large amount of product for the price, lasts forever and I use it twice a day. very effective as a base under moisturizer for and extra supple hydration boost.
Wonderful 5
Nicole from Santa cruz CA
Been using this product for a year and I love it. I put it on after my shower every morning while my face is still wet. Rub it in and then apply a moisturizer. It got rid of all my smile lines around my eyes and mouth. I recommend to everyone!
Great Hydration 5
Megs from Minneapolis MN
I have pretty oily skin and I read that this is often because your skin is dehydrated. I picked this up on a recommendation and not really sure what to expect. I first used only this product at night in order to "reset" my skin and build back my moisture barrier. I definitely noticed less oil production throughout the day when normally my forehead would be slick. Now, I mostly use it if I've exfoliated too much, on days I drink (bring back that moisture) or just more calm days. I wake up seeing a difference in my skin hydration, smoothness. This is my second time repurchasing - the product lasts a long time and a little goes a long way.
I love this product 5
Skin and Hair Care from Atlanta, GA
If you are looking for a good/great hyaluronic acid serum for a great price and size, this is the product. is for you. Very moisturizing compared to other the Glow Recipe Plum Plump serum. My first time using the brand. I will buy again and try other products!
I have already recommended this product to all my friends and family
Wanted to love this 3
Britt from Montana
I've been using this about a month or so and I'm mot noticing any major difference. The texture is slimy but the thing that bothers me about this product is that it turns white if you use too much and seems to like, foam up on the skin? I have no idea why it's doing this but it takes forever to rub in if you use too much. I'm going to explore other brands after it's gone
It was okay 2
Kim from CA
I've tried The Ordinary's HA, Inkey List HA, Good Molecules HA and this one. Out of all them, my favorite one is the Inkey List HA, it's just so much more hydrating. This one in particular was okay, I even paired it with the snail mucin and honestly my skin doesn't feel as plump as when I used the Inkey List HA.
Perfect for dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin 5
IceCreamchillin from San Francisco , CA
I have super dry, sensitive skin because my skin's barrier is weak due to mild eczema. There are so many products I am not able to use ... anything with fragrance , alcohol , grape seed oil, lanolin , essential oils, etc. This is the holy grail for my skin. It locks in moisture and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I've tried so many skincare products and I know that this is the one item I will keep on re-purchasing for life.
instant plump!! 5
andi from California (CA)
CosRX has the best Hylauronic acid essence! It doesn't leave your skin sticky as others can. It just keeps your skin moist and plump, perfect for under moisturizer!
the ordinary worked better 3
Dan from Las Vegas
when you do the math, this and the ordinary are the same price. but this one is thinner and therefore not as hydrating on my dry, acne prone skin. it feels like water and after I apply it, it doesnt feel like I added a serum or much hydration at all. honestly, it actually left my skin looking dull. I know this isnt supposed to be like a moisturizer but in the end The Ordinary's was superior because it was more slimy (but dries like nothing is on your face) and seemed to lock in more moisture and the vitamin seems to give my face life. so try this if you dont like the feeling of stuff of your face, but there really isnt much moisture.
I LOVE IT 5
Cassie from Florida
I saw a difference the day after using this product! My skin felt SO soft, hydrated, and plump the day after I used this for the first time. I use a lot of serums and oils at night and normally wake up with my face being a little oily, but, once I started using this essence my face is completely dry in the morning so I know it is making all of my products absorb into my skin better. This has now because one of my favorite products in my skin care regimen!
Liking so far 4
Brit from Montana
This feels good going on my skin. I have sensitive, acne prone skin so I was nervous about this clogging pores. It doesn't at all and I'm liking it so far although I'm not seeing results yet. It's still pretty early in the bottle though and I love the small ingredient list.

I'm liking how this feels going on. It's too early to say if it's working yet.
Magic in a bottle 5
Hitechhottie from Texas
I suffer from hormonal acne and have my whole life. I started using this product a year ago. Not only has it dramatically changed the way my skin feels it has helped clear up my break outs. My skin is so different now. I can't live without this stuff. It's amazing and a MUST have for everyone routine. Little tip put it on right out of the shower when ur face is still damp to lock in all the moisture.
this works 5
Misty from NH
I bought this bottle 6 months ago and I am now having to buy a new bottle. This makes my skin feel hydrated and soft, I am 42 and need all the help I can get. My skin feels amazing after applying this to my face, like my skin just took a drink of water.
One of the best I've tried so far! 5
Mommyof2 from Seattle, wa
I am loving this so far and I think it's better then The Ordinary. It doesn't feel sticky after use, it's spreads nicely on the skin. The best part is it doesn't break me out which happens when I use a new products. I highly recommend this!

Nothing special
No Complaints 5
Vegas Valley Vixen from Las Vegas
Highly recommend for mature skin. I am 49 and this essence rocks and is comparable to higher end and more prestige essence products. Make sure you press into skin and use your serum(s) while skin is still damp from essence.
Love it 5
Gigi from Midwest
I've tried other hyaluronic serums but they always end up drying out my skin and/or breaking me out. This one doesn't irritate my skin and it definitely seems to make my skin look healthier and plumper. I have really hard water, so I use this as a toner after washing my face to get all that off and my skin has been so much more balanced. It's also a great buffer for chemical exfoliants.
Love how this feels on my skin. 5
Trish59 from St Louis, mo
Nice product. Will buy again.
made a huge difference 5
B from Wisconsin
I had been using the ordinary hyaluronic acid for months and didn't see much of a result. I got this and within a few days my skin felt baby smooth and the elasticity has even improved. It looks visibly healthier. One pump covers my whole face, so the bottle is going to last a long time. Super worth it!
