Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronate
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.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
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.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate
Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate carries a positive charge, and skin carries a slight negative one, so it is attracted to the surface and stays through rinsing. It is the hyaluronic used where a formula gets washed off.
Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract
Anastatica Hierochuntica is the resurrection plant, which survives complete drying out. Its extract is used as a hydrating, protective plant ingredient.
Chlorella Vulgaris Extract
Chlorella Vulgaris is a freshwater green algae. Its extract carries proteins, chlorophyll and amino acids and is used as a conditioning ingredient.
Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract
Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin.
How to use
- Press a few drops into cleansed skin morning and evening, then follow with a moisturizer to lock the boost in.
What is the so natural Cactus Ampoule Pads 40pads / 130g?
Cactus Ampoule Pads 40pads / 130g is so natural's concentrated, fast-absorbing booster (130g), formulated as targeted boost step in a Korean skincare routine. It suits sensitive, dry, normal skin types, and it is sourced here as the authentic Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation.
How should I use the so natural Cactus Ampoule Pads 40pads / 130g?
Press a few drops into cleansed skin morning and evening, then follow with a moisturizer to lock the boost in. Working it in this order keeps the concentrated, fast-absorbing texture behaving the way so natural formulated it to, rather than rushing straight to the next step in the routine.
How often should I use this booster?
Once or twice a day, layered under a regular moisturizer for a concentrated boost. Consistency across a full skin cycle of several weeks matters far more than an occasional use for a booster like this one, since most of its benefit shows up with steady, repeated application.
Who is this booster best suited for?
This booster is best suited for sensitive, dry, normal, combination skin, particularly anyone dealing with dehydration and tight-feeling skin. Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application if skin tends to react easily.
What are the key ingredients in this booster?
The formula lists Bifida Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Hyaluronate and Allantoin among its ingredients, alongside the rest of the base that carries them across the skin. Each one is named here in the exact form it appears on so natural's own ingredient list, not inferred from the product name.

How it works
The panel on this ampoule names eight forms of hyaluronic acid rather than one: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Anastatica Hierochuntica Extract, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract and Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract. Anastatica Hierochuntica is the resurrection plant, which survives complete drying out. Its extract is used as a hydrating, protective plant ingredient.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application if skin tends to react easily.
- Store away from direct sunlight and high heat to keep the texture and scent stable over time.
- Introduce one new active at a time when adding this into an existing routine.

Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
