As someone with naturally dry skin, I’ve tried numerous serums spiked with hyaluronic acid — yet I have not found many that I actually like to use: Many formulas leave a sticky film on the skin, which plays poorly with other products and under makeup. In my search for a lightweight, fast-absorbing hyaluronic acid serum — one that bestows skin-plumping benefits without a tacky residue — I stumbled across a promising pick hailing from popular Korean skincare brand Cosrx: The Sodium Hyaluronic Serum. The shopper-loved solution features everything I’m seeking in a hyaluronic acid serum, including intense hydration and a fast-absorbing formula. Best of all, the serum is on sale at Amazon, where it’s a mere $17 for a limited time.

The Cosrx Sodium Hyaluronic Serum is a highly hydrating solution for all skin types, including ultra-dry and mature skin. The formula relies on its titular hero ingredient, in addition to other moisturizing additives, which sink deeply into skin to deliver a plump, dewy complexion and a satisfying skin quench that lasts for up to 24 hours, per the brand.
ICYMI: Hyaluronic acid is the hydrating superhero of the skincare world, hence its presence in many serums, moisturizers, and even hair care. A water-loving molecule and humectant, it attracts moisture from the surrounding air and locks it into skin to deliver instant and sustained hydration. In addition to its titular ingredient, the Cosrx serum contains ceramides — lipids that further support hydrated skin by strengthening the all-important skin barrier, and, in turn, prevent moisture loss.
Cosrx’s serum is lightweight, non-sticky, and resists pilling, making it easy to incorporate into any existing skincare routine. Furthermore, the fragrance-free formula is gentle and soothing on rough, dry skin.
Shoppers are impressed by the formula on all counts. According to one reviewer, who has noticed a “glow” after only three days of using the serum, the lightweight formula keeps skin moisturized without an “oily” feel. Another shopper echoes this sentiment, noting how the serum “absorbs nicely while quenching dryness.” Finally, one fan says the formula is “not sticky like other brands.” I’m sold.
For plump, dewy skin, sans stickiness, shop the Cosrx Pure Sodium Hyaluronic Acid 3% Serum at Amazon, where it’s $17 for a limited time.
