What the gurus are saying

The hydration claims don't match reality. This $90 serum promises deep hydration through molecular hyaluronic acid, but reviewers found their skin tells a different story; it simply doesn't deliver results. The ingredient is basic hyaluronic acid, the same thing in dozens of cheaper alternatives like The Ordinary, so experts question why the premium price is justified for a repetitive product.

"They also had a Hyaluronic Acid Serum at $90, which was a multi molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid Serum that they said delivers long lasting 72 hour moisture and helps reduce dehydration and the appearance of fine lines. Another ridiculously expensive serum. For what it is. It's... you can go to The Ordinary and get the same thing."

Kim Kardashian's Skincare SKKN. Thoughts, Early Controversies, JLo Beauty Call Out, Too Expensive?
"I don't feel like these are anything new. It's honestly a bit repetitive to see every brand come out with a Hyaluronic Acid Serum and a vitamin C serum. These are pretty basic ingredients that I've seen before."
~Yay
"This is the hyaluronic serum which prepares the skin for all of the other fabulous goodies and you just need a little, a little goes a long way. [...] You really want to bring your skincare all the way down your neck. [...] Apply it to damp skin, apply to neck, take it down typically to this area because I think it's really important especially as you get older. [...] Let it bake for a second, give it a minute or two."
~Mixed
"Kim Kardashian launched this Hyaluronic Acid Serum for $90 and they boast molecular hyaluronic acid and a bunch of things about how this is like super super hydrating, well I have thoughts about that and my face has thoughts about that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
