SkinMedica HA⁵ Hydra Collagen Water Burst Face Moisturizer is a daily hydrating cream formulated with five types of hyaluronic acid (HA⁵), vegan collagen, and a Microbiome Barrier Complex. The lightweight, water-burst texture delivers immediate moisture upon application and gradually releases hydration over 24 hours to support the skin’s natural barrier function. The vegan collagen ingredient is plant-derived and helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity without the use of animal by-products. The Microbiome Barrier Complex works to balance the skin’s surface microbiota, which may improve resilience against environmental stressors.

This moisturizer is designed for individuals with dry, dehydrated, or dull-looking skin seeking a non-greasy, quick-absorbing option. The gel-like cream dissolves into a watery finish that does not leave a heavy or sticky residue, making it suitable for layering under sunscreen or makeup. Regular use may help replenish moisture levels, soften texture, and restore a more radiant appearance. The formula is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, and is ophthalmologist-tested to be safe for the delicate eye area.

Ideal for both morning and evening routines, this product can be applied after serum and before sunscreen. The 1.7-fluid-ounce jar offers a two-to-three-month supply with typical daily use. SkinMedica focuses on science-backed, clinically tested ingredients, ensuring that the moisturizer addresses surface dehydration without overloading the skin. It is appropriate for normal, combination, and dry skin types, though those with very oily skin may wish to test a sample first.
