Frequently asked questions
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid and Polyglutamic Acid together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Two humectants of different sizes. Hyaluronic acid draws water in, and polyglutamic acid forms a film that holds it there, giving longer-lasting hydration.
Which goes first, Hyaluronic Acid or Polyglutamic Acid?
Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Polyglutamic Acid. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?
Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
Should I use Polyglutamic Acid in the morning or at night?
Polyglutamic Acid: works morning or night. Apply after toner and before moisturiser, morning or night.
