Simplicity – using only key ingredients, avoiding any redundancies, will not only reduce the chance of skin irritation, but also provide the simple solution. An easy-to-formulate, commonly used, nice to have ingredient that’s also called pro-vitamin B5. As you might guess from the “pro” part, it’s a precursor to vitamin B5 (whose fancy name is pantothenic acid).
I am very happy with this product. I have been using it for 3 months now and have to say that I do see significant improvements in my skin. What seems to be a true difference, though, is that the salt form is more stable, easier to formulate andcheaper so it pops up more often on the ingredient lists. Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.I decided to try a leave-on exfoliator rather than an exfoliating cleanser because I noticed I kept getting irritation from exfoliating cleansers. This Cosrx one is really gentle and pleasant. It takes a few minutes for it to absorb into my skin, but afterwards I get very little irritation and my skin texture and pore appearance have definitely improved. Delivery timescales are estimated and could be affected if your parcel is very heavy or delayed by Customs entry procedures.
The most researched and well-known AHA exfoliant. It gently lifts off dead skin cells to reveal newer, fresher, smoother skin. In larger concentration (>10%) it's a proven collagen booster. It is known to treat acne by reducing inflammation. It also helps fade dark-spots and strengthen the skin by promoting the growth of the ceramide barrier. It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.

As far as skincare goes, sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid are pretty much the same and the two names are used interchangeably. As cosmetic chemist kindofstephen writes on reddit"sodium hyaluronate disassociates into hyaluronic acid molecule and a sodium atom in solution".
Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. Another benefit is the anti-inflammatory abilities. This means that it's great for sensitive, irritation-prone skin. Glycolic Acid (AHA) brightens dull, uneven skin by enabling faster cell turnover and gently melting dead skin cells on the outer layer of skin Make-up and skincare services, BrowBar benefit, gifting and personalisation workshop, Sephora offers you a whole range of services to come and discover in store Increases ceramide synthesis that results in a stronger, healthier skin barrier and better skin hydrationIt’s the - sodium form - cousin of the famous NMF, hyaluronic acid(HA). If HA does not tell you anything we have a super detailed, geeky explanation about it here. The TL; DR version of HA is that it's a huge polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) found in the skin that acts as a sponge helping the skin to hold onto water, being plump and elastic. HA is famous for its crazy water holding capacity as it can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water.
