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. It is the entry this serum is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it fifth on this serum's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it eighteenth on this serum's list, beside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named twenty-seventh on this serum's list, alongside Sodium Hyaluronate.
Lactic Acidexfoliant
Lactic Acid is a larger AHA than glycolic, so it works nearer the surface and is easier on skin, and it is a humectant as well as an exfoliant. It is the AHA of choice for dry skin. It is named fifty-first on this serum's list, alongside Sodium Hyaluronate.
How to use
- Apply two to three drops after toner or essence and before your moisturizer, once or twice a day. Press it into the face and neck with clean palms rather than rubbing, and give it a minute to absorb before layering a cream on top.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum 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.
Does this serum contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citral and Limonene. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this serum is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Sodium Hyaluronate?
Niacinamide, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Sodium Hyaluronate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactic Acid, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid.

How it works
The Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Serum is a 130ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The humectant it is built around is Sodium Hyaluronate, named twenty-ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, 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 serum format rather than by the list alone. innisfree sells this Sodium Hyaluronate serum in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Sodium Hyaluronate on the list.
- This list names Citral and Limonene, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Citric Acid and Lactic Acid on this list makes this serum an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

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.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
