Formulation view Water-based gel system using carbomer and acrylic copolymer for viscosity. Combines multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, glucosyl trehalose, and adenosine for layered hydration and soothing. Light oils ensure a non-greasy feel, suitable for oily or combination skin. The formulation creates a high-water-activity environment via polymer scaffolding, delivering humectant benefits without the heaviness of traditional emulsions.
