FRM Formula
SerumTwo hyaluronic acid weights, aimed at two different depths on purpose.
Higher-molecular-weight sodium hyaluronate sits at the surface and holds water there; the hydrolyzed, lower-molecular-weight form is included specifically because it is formulated to reach further into the viable epidermis, where the two are understood to behave differently rather than as one interchangeable ingredient at two prices.
Niacinamide is included at a supporting level here too — this is a hydration serum first, and the anchor list above reflects that ordering.
Higher molecular weights hold water at the surface; lower molecular weights are formulated to reach further into the viable epidermis.
Reaches the living epidermis, where it is commonly associated with supporting the skin's own lipid production.

USE How To Use
AM and PM, on damp skin, sealed with a moisturiser within a minute or two. In very low ambient humidity, follow immediately with an occlusive moisturiser -- a humectant with no moisture in the air to draw from can pull water from deeper skin instead, which is the opposite of the intended effect.
