OGEE Hyaluronic Acid Elixir

This lightweight, water-based hydrating elixir replenishes moisture and supports plump, smooth-looking skin with fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid and soothing botanical extracts. Aloe and banana plant extract help calm and condition, while multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid support surface hydration and a more supple feel. The texture absorbs quickly and layers easily under oils, creams, or sunscreen.

What I Like

  • EWG rating: 1, based on entering the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer, placing it in the lowest hazard range.

  • I appreciate how lightweight and truly hydrating this feels, with no heaviness or residue.

  • The use of fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid supports hydration without relying on harsher solvents or fillers.

  • Aloe and banana plant extract help keep the formula calming and comfortable on the skin.

  • This layers beautifully under facial oils or moisturizers and works well both morning and night.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • This elixir focuses on hydration only and does not provide occlusion, so dehydrated skin types may want to follow with an oil or cream to seal in moisture.

  • Because it absorbs quickly, applying it to slightly damp skin can help maximize hydration.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

The ingredients in this formula, including aloe, fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid, and plant-based humectants, are generally considered low risk for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This is an excellent option for very sensitive, rosacea-prone, or acne-prone skin due to its short, water-based ingredient list. Patch testing is reasonable if your skin is highly reactive.
