COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream (100g) - Deep Hydration Boost

COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream - Deep Hydration Face Moisturizer 100g

Drench your skin in long-lasting, deep hydration with the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream. This moisture-rich face cream is specifically formulated to transform dry, dehydrated, and dull skin into plump, bouncy, radiant skin. Powered by a high concentration of Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) and Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water, this intensive moisturizer goes beyond surface-level hydration to create a protective moisture barrier that locks in nourishment all day long.

Despite its "intensive" name, the texture is surprisingly lightweight and fast-absorbing, sinking into skin without any greasy residue. Perfect for both morning and evening routines, this cream delivers the richness of a heavy moisturizer with the comfortable feel of a gel-cream.

Star Ingredients & Their Benefits

• Sodium Hyaluronate (3,000ppm): The most effective form of Hyaluronic Acid with smaller molecular size that penetrates deeper into skin. Holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing intense hydration and plumping effects. Reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin elasticity
• Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water (57.8%): Nutrient-rich botanical water packed with Vitamins C, E, and essential fatty acids. Brightens skin tone, strengthens the moisture barrier, and provides powerful antioxidant protection against environmental stressors
• Betaine: Natural humectant that attracts and retains moisture while protecting skin from dehydration
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Deeply moisturizes, soothes irritation, and promotes skin healing and regeneration
• Allantoin: Calms sensitive skin, reduces redness, and promotes cell renewal

Why Hyaluronic Acid is Essential for Your Skin

Hyaluronic Acid is naturally present in our skin but decreases with age, leading to dryness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. This powerful humectant can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it one of the most effective hydrating ingredients in skincare. By replenishing your skin's Hyaluronic Acid levels, this cream helps restore moisture, plumpness, and youthful radiance.

Perfect For

Dry skin, dehydrated skin, dull complexion, fine lines and wrinkles, sensitive skin, normal skin, combination skin (use sparingly on T-zone), mature skin, winter skincare, post-treatment care, and anyone seeking intense hydration without heaviness. Suitable for all ages and skin types seeking deep moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cream suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
While formulated for dry and dehydrated skin, its non-comedogenic properties mean it won't clog pores. Oily skin types can use a small amount at night or mix with a lighter moisturizer. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly without greasiness.

Can I use this under makeup?
Absolutely! The fast-absorbing, non-greasy finish makes it an excellent hydrating base for foundation and concealer. Wait 2-3 minutes after application for optimal makeup adhesion.

What's the difference between this and the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence?
The Essence is a lightweight liquid used early in your routine to deliver moisture deep into skin layers. This Intensive Cream is thicker and acts as an occlusive - it seals that moisture in so it doesn't evaporate, providing longer-lasting hydration.

How long does the 100g jar last?
With regular twice-daily use, the 100g jar typically lasts 2-3 months, making it excellent value for money.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
Yes! The minimalist formula is free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and common irritants. It's hypoallergenic and formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin while delivering intense hydration.

Will this help with fine lines and wrinkles?
Yes! Hyaluronic Acid plumps skin from within, which visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration. With consistent use, skin appears smoother and more youthful.
