Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronatehumectant
Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it. The name on the box points at it, and it is named seventh on this essence's own ingredient list.
Hydrolyzed Collagenprotein
Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film. The panel names it eighteenth on this essence's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extractplant extract
Flaxseed extract. Flaxseed swells into a mucilage in water, so the extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned, slippery feel. The panel names it eighth on this essence's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acidhumectant
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one. The panel names it thirteenth on this essence's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Saccharide Isomeratehumectant
A plant-sugar complex whose structure resembles the sugars already bound to the skin surface, so it stays through washing. It is used as a long-acting humectant. It is named fourteenth on this essence's list, alongside Sodium Hyaluronate.
How to use
- Apply after cleansing and toning, patting or smoothing a small amount evenly over the face and neck. Follow with the next step in your routine, layering thinnest to thickest. Use morning and night unless your skin runs sensitive, in which case start with once daily.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Sodium Hyaluronate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Sodium Hyaluronate and all. We match this essence to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Sodium Hyaluronate?
Hydrolyzed Collagen, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Sodium Hyaluronate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Saccharide Isomerate.

How it works
The Real Complexion Hyaluron Skin Essence is a 300ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The humectant it is built around is Sodium Hyaluronate, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Hydrolyzed Collagen, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Extract and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, so the humectant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Sodium Hyaluronate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence Hanskin sells in Korea, Sodium Hyaluronate and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this essence on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Sodium Hyaluronate on the list.
- Introduce this essence on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Sodium Hyaluronate rather than to three changes at once.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
