[Cosrx] Hyaluronic Acid power Essence 100ml

Product Overview

A simple, concentrated hydrating essence designed to help dehydrated skin retain moisture and feel softer, smoother and more supple.

The formula combines sodium hyaluronate, glycerin and panthenol with sea buckthorn water in a lightweight, oil-free essence.

With only seven listed ingredients, it provides the Glass Ritual Hydration Collection with a straightforward humectant-focused option for customers who want hydration without a complicated multi-active formula.

Why We Chose It

Glass Ritual chose the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence because sometimes hydration does not need to be complicated.

Rather than combining numerous treatment actives, this essence concentrates on a clear purpose: helping increase water-binding hydration.

Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant support, while panthenol contributes additional hydration and soothing properties. Its short formula also differentiates it from our more complex fermented, ceramide and lipid-containing essences.

It gives customers a simple option when their primary concern is dehydration rather than multiple skin concerns at once.

Benefits

• Helps replenish hydration
• Helps dry or dehydrated skin feel softer and more supple
• Sodium hyaluronate provides water-binding hydration
• Contains glycerin for additional humectant support
• Panthenol provides hydrating and soothing support
• Lightweight, oil-free essence
• Simple seven-ingredient formula
• Easy to layer beneath moisturiser
• Provides a straightforward option for hydration-focused routines

Who It's For

May be suitable for:

• Dehydrated skin
• Dry skin
• Normal skin
• Combination skin
• Oily but dehydrated skin
• Skin that feels tight or lacks suppleness
• Those wanting a simple hyaluronic-acid essence
• Those who prefer shorter ingredient lists
• Those wanting hydration without numerous additional actives

Those living in very dry environments should pay particular attention to the moisturising step that follows rather than relying on a humectant essence alone.

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount evenly over the face.

Gently pat with the fingertips until absorbed.

Follow with an appropriate moisturiser.

Use morning and/or evening according to your skin's needs.

One appropriate layer is often sufficient. Additional layers should be based on how the skin responds rather than automatically applying more product.

Ritual Position

Cleanse → Toner → COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence → Serum if needed → Moisturiser

This is primarily a humectant hydration step.

Glass Ritual Pairing

This essence should ideally be followed by a moisturiser, particularly for dry or dehydration-prone skin.

The essence helps provide water-binding hydration, while the moisturiser supplies emollient and/or occlusive support to help reduce subsequent moisture loss.

For oily but dehydrated skin, pair with a lightweight moisturiser.

For dry and dehydrated skin, follow with a richer moisturiser containing ingredients such as ceramides, cholesterol, squalane or other appropriate emollients.

If this essence already provides sufficient hydration, there is no need to automatically layer another hyaluronic-acid serum on top.

Safety & Ingredient Information

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.

Patch testing may be appropriate when introducing a new skincare product, particularly for sensitive or reactive skin.

Ingredient formulations may occasionally be updated by the manufacturer. Always check the ingredient list printed on the product packaging received for the most current formulation.

Glass Ritual Note: We deliberately do not repeat the claim that this essence provides hydration from the “deep skin layers.” Topical cosmetic hyaluronic acid is better described as a humectant that supports water retention and hydration, particularly at and within the upper skin layers. Its strength is straightforward: a simple humectant-focused essence for skin that needs more water-binding support.
