Today we are talking about hyaluronic acid and in particular this one from the ordinary WHAT IS IT:  Hyaluronic Acid from the Ordinary. WHAT IT DOES:  Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can attract up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The molecular size of HA determines its depth of delivery in the skin. This formulation combines low-, medium- and high-molecular weight HA, as well as a next-generation HA crosspolymer at a combined concentration of 2% for multi-depth hydration in a water-based formula.

This shadow, which is not to be mistaken for dark circles, cannot be addressed with topical skincare including this formula. Fat deposits under the eye contour can create permanent puffiness in this area. This type of de...
