Wellage Real Hyaluronic Cleansing Water

What is this product?

Wellage's Real Hyaluronic Cleansing Water is a fragrance-free 400ml micellar water for light makeup, built on one amphoteric surfactant with four polyglyceryl partners, and it is a mild first cleanse rather than a skincare step. Its six hyaluronate entries all sit in the back third of a 38-ingredient list, at positions 27, 33, 34, 36, 37 and 38, with a related glycosaminoglycan at 32 and beta-glucan earlier at 20, and none of them carries a stated amount. That is why the brand's skincare-free framing is the part the label does not back: the moisture entries soften the cleanse, they do not replace what you leave on.

What makes it different?

Three things set it apart from other wipe-off waters. First, the breadth of the hyaluronate panel: six forms spanning hydrolysed fragment, salt, crosspolymer, cationic derivative, free acid and acetylated form, unusual here even granting that all six sit late in the order. Second, the surfactant choice: an amphoteric primary with four polyglyceryl esters instead of the poloxamer or PEG-ester systems common in this format, which is why the fragrance-free, low-irritation reading holds up on composition alone. Third, the disclosure is lopsided: Wellage prints a full product notice down to manufacturer and shelf life, yet gives no pH figure and no test of any kind, so the mildly acidic tag on the front is structurally plausible but backed by no published measurement.
