Skin is left smooth, supple, line-free and totally hydrated. It isn't heavy and doesn't over-load skin which can cause breakouts. After a few week's use, there's a change in skin's texture, it looks healthier and more hydrated.

Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Contentrate
Hyaluronic Acid is able to bind lots of moisture growing up the 30-fold of its own volume. In a network with water, Hyaluronan forms a viscous gel and thus acts as a cellular space filler, plumping up deep wrinkles from inside out.
Serums and concentrates should be part of your daily skincare regime. This one from Eucerin helped keep skin moisturised but we didn't see much impact on the wrinkles or any signs of plumping up so disappointing results overall.
