Moist is the word: Neogence Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence Review

So as I mentioned before in one of my previous post, I received two full sized Neogence products from SaSa x Neogence DIY Essence Mask Workshop.




The products that I received were the Neogence Hyaluronic Acid Deeply Moisturizing Lotion and Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Essence. This two products are from the Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating series which has 15 different (!) products that are based on Hyaluronic Acid solely for hydrating purposes.

This Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating series claimed that the products will increase skin hydration and solve dry skin problems. Although the target is dry skin, the products are suitable for all skin types.

The packaging of the products are fairly simple and "medical' looking, which I guess is in line with Neogence image as a "lab-dermatological" skincare that uses simple ingredients (but then again 15 products in a skincare line is not that simple, is it?)

In each of the box, there is a flyer about the series, the claims and function of each product as well as the order of the product to be used on skin.

First up, the HA Hydrating Essence. I will review the Deeply Moisturizing Lotion in the next post.



Ingredients:

Aqua, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Citrate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, o-Cymen-5-OL, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, CItric Acid

Hazard level: White: 1; Yellow: 3-4, Safer ingredients have lower numbering

I like that the fact this product have mostly very safe ingredients. There is no harsh chemical and potential irritant, but still, it is very effective (spoiler!)

The essence is a bit almost similar as other essences in the market, not that watery and not that thick either. The essence is clear and have a light scent to it.

meet my hairy self. Is that water or tears? :P

The essence is dispensed through a dropper; classy and hygienic but a bit of a hassle. Also, it is only 20mL, my hands are not that big (or are they?). This size will probably last you up to 3 month if used on daily basis. For me, that's not bad at all.


As I said before, it is very effective. You can really feel the hydration on your skin upon using it. It also absorbs quite fast into the skin with no sticky feeling at all so you really don't need much effort to work it in.
I feel that the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum is less hydrating than this one, therefore I'm sticking to Innisfree one because my skin is quite normal. I am actually afraid of too much hyrdation. (is there such thing?) But, on those days when it is scorching hot or my skin feel like Sahara, Neogence serum is the way to go.

Neogence Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Acid costs RM89/20mL and available in Sasa's store
