A hydrating serum formulated for dry, combination, and normal skin types, with a focus on reinforcing the skin barrier and relieving dryness. A high concentration of glycerin delivers fast, lasting hydration while supporting the barrier, and polyglutamic acid works at the skin's surface to create a plump, dewy appearance. Prickly pear extract helps calm reactive skin and defend against irritation, while niacinamide rounds out the formula with additional barrier-supporting benefits.
