Frequently asked questions

Is this serum a good choice for oily skin?

It is one of the easier hydrating serums for oily and combination skin. The texture is a thin watery gel rather than an oil or a heavy essence, and it absorbs in seconds without leaving a tacky film. That lets you add moisture without adding shine, and it stays put under sunscreen or makeup instead of sliding. If you have avoided serums because they felt greasy, this is a gentle place to begin.

Can I use it when my skin barrier feels stressed?

It is built with that in mind. Centella asiatica leaf water is the second ingredient on the printed list, and the formula adds Ceramide NP and panthenol, chosen for comfort rather than for exfoliation. There is no fragrance, no essential oil and no drying alcohol anywhere on the list. If your skin is especially reactive right now, patch test along the jaw for a few days first, as you would with any new step.

Is it sticky, and will it pill under sunscreen?

It is not a sticky serum, which catches people out because hyaluronic acid so often is. It settles to a smooth, dry-touch finish within seconds. To keep it from pilling, use two or three pumps rather than a flood, press it in with your palms instead of rubbing, and give it a moment before sunscreen or makeup goes on. Applying to slightly damp skin also helps every layer sit flat.

Is this enough on its own, or do I still need a moisturiser?

You still want a moisturiser over the top. Hyaluronic acid draws water into the upper layers but does not seal it there, so used alone the effect fades — noticeably faster in dry air or under indoor heating. Follow with a cream or lotion while skin is still slightly damp and the comfort lasts far longer. Oily skin can use a light gel cream; dry skin will want something richer.

Where does it go in my routine, and can I use it twice a day?

Use it after cleansing and toner, before any heavier serum, cream or sunscreen. SKIN1004 recommends daily use, and the formula is mild enough for both morning and evening. Pump an appropriate amount and apply it in the direction of your skin texture. If you also use exfoliating acids or a retinoid, this sits underneath them comfortably and helps offset the tightness those steps can bring.

What does five hyaluronic acids actually mean?

Five separate hyaluronic acid ingredients appear on the printed list: hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate. They differ mainly in molecular size and in how they behave once mixed, so water is drawn to different depths rather than all of it sitting on the very top. That is why the finish feels cushioned instead of simply wet.

Does it have a scent?

No fragrance or parfum appears anywhere on the ingredient list, and there are no essential oils either. Any faint smell comes from the botanical ingredients themselves — centella leaf water, rose flower water, and pear and melon fruit extracts — and it is very light, fading as the serum absorbs. That makes it a straightforward choice if scented skincare bothers you or brings on a headache.

Will it do anything for fine lines?

It can make dry-looking lines less obvious, which is a hydration effect rather than a structural one. When the surface holds more water it looks smoother and reflects light more evenly, so fine creases read softer. Adenosine and niacinamide both appear on the list as well, and both are common in formulas aimed at a smoother-looking finish. Deeper, set lines are not something a hydrating serum changes.
