Product details
Inner hydration
A fresh, watery essence with seven forms of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and caffeine, for skin hydrated from the inside out.
Rovectin’s Aqua Hyaluronic Essence, formerly the Skin Essentials Activating Treatment Lotion, layers seven types of hyaluronic acid so moisture reaches deep while the outermost layer stays protected. Niacinamide, adenosine and caffeine add brightening, smoothing and de-puffing care, and papaya extract gently exfoliates, all in a non-sticky texture with a fresh, clean, non-greasy finish.
