BEYOND Angel Aqua Ion Hyalu 10% Moisture Soothing Cream

What is this product?

Beyond's Angel Aqua Ion Hyalu 10% Moisture Soothing Cream is worth it for one unusual reason: it prints the amount. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is the third of its 55 ingredients at 10.0207 percent, and the centella group behind it (asiaticoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid, madecassoside) is a real soothing axis rather than a garnish. Skip the cooling half of the pitch, because the list carries no menthol or any other cooling agent, so the chill is just a watery gel evaporating.

What makes it different?

All seven hyaluronate forms in this cream carry a printed amount, running from 10.0207 percent at the top down to 0.0001 ppm at the bottom, which is a level of disclosure almost no moisturiser offers. That openness is also what exposes the weaker half of the pitch: the mineral salts behind the ion trademark are printed from 0.1 ppm down to 0.0005 ppm, trace amounts Beyond neither explains nor tests. Soothing here is centella rather than marketing, with asiaticoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid and madecassoside all on the label. Beyond does not publish a pH for it, and it is sold as a 100ml one-plus-one bundle.
