Ingredient
Dimethylsilanol Hyaluronate
Silanol-modified hyaluronic acid
What it is
A silicone-modified ester of hyaluronic acid that pairs hyaluronate's water-binding capacity with a silicone (dimethylsilanol) component for a lighter application feel.
How it works
Binds water at the skin surface in the same way as conventional hyaluronic acid, while the dimethylsilanol portion improves spreadability and leaves a smoother, less tacky after-feel than unmodified hyaluronate.
What it does
Humectant
Skin conditioning
