COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream

Healthy skin depends on maintaining the right balance of water and lipids. When this balance is disrupted by environmental factors, seasonal changes or overuse of active ingredients, skin can begin to feel tight, rough or dehydrated. A well-formulated moisturiser helps restore that balance by reducing moisture loss and reinforcing the skin's natural barrier.

COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream has been developed with this philosophy in mind. Rather than providing short-lived hydration that quickly evaporates, the formula focuses on attracting moisture to the skin while helping to keep it there. The result is skin that feels replenished long after application, with a complexion that appears smoother, healthier and more resilient.

At the heart of the formula is Sodium Hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid renowned for its ability to attract and bind water. Often described as a moisture magnet, hyaluronic acid helps draw hydration into the skin, improving its ability to remain soft, supple and comfortable throughout the day. When skin is properly hydrated, fine dehydration lines appear less noticeable and the complexion develops a naturally healthy-looking glow.

To complement this hydration, the cream contains Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water, replacing much of the purified water commonly found in moisturisers. Sea buckthorn is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that help support the skin against everyday environmental stress while contributing to a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.

The formula is further enriched with Sunflower Seed Oil and skin-conditioning emollients that help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier by reducing transepidermal water loss. This is particularly beneficial for skin that feels persistently dry or becomes dehydrated following the use of exfoliating acids, retinoids or cold weather.

Despite its rich, nourishing texture, the cream absorbs comfortably into the skin without leaving a waxy residue. Instead, it creates a protective layer that helps lock in hydration, making it particularly well suited as the final step of an evening skincare routine or as a daily moisturiser for dry and dehydrated skin.

Apply after your serum or essence as the final moisturising step of your skincare routine.

Gently massage an appropriate amount over the face and neck until fully absorbed.

For particularly dry or dehydrated skin, use morning and evening to help maintain hydration throughout the day. During the daytime, always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your routine.
