Shwally Hyaluronic Serum – Hydrate & Plump
We've created the cleanest Hyaluronic serum on the market. Instead of highly toxic preservatives we use a probiotic lactobacillus ferment, which keeps bad bacteria at bay, while also providing beneficial bacteria to the skin.
Instead 1-3 sizes, we use 8 different weight sizes of hyaluronic acid so all layers of the skin absorb some and attract moisture.
As we get older we create less of this beneficial water-attracting acid, and this is why replenishing it from a natural and clean source is so effective. The result is skin that looks plump, bouncy and dewy instead of tight and dry.
- Multi-weight hyaluronic acid hydrates the surface and below it
- Vitamin B5 helps skin attract and hold on to moisture
- Lactobacillus ferment supports a calm, balanced skin surface
- Weightless, fast-absorbing and never sticky
- 4 ingredients, with no fragrance and no synthetic preservatives
Good for: Dehydrated skin · Tight after cleansing · Fine lines from dryness · Sensitive skin · Every skin type
Size: 1 fl oz (30 ml)
Ingredients: Distilled Water, Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Multi-Weight Sodium Hyaluronate, Lactobacillus Ferment
What you won't find: Fragrance, Synthetic preservatives, Silicones, Dyes, Fillers.
- Dampen. Apply to clean, slightly damp skin. The hyaluronic acid grabs that water too.
- Press. Pat 1–2 pumps into face, neck and chest, avoiding the eye area.
- Seal. Within a minute, lock it in with our Squalane Facial Oil or a Shwally face cream.
- Step 1 · Hydrate: Shwally Hyaluronic Serum – Hydrate & Plump. Water goes in first.

The Drink Of Water Your Skin Is Asking For
If your skin feels tight after washing, looks dull by lunchtime, or shows fine lines that fade after a good night's sleep, it's probably thirsty.
Most hyaluronic serums use a single molecule size, then fill the bottle with thickeners, synthetic preservatives and fragrances. We try to do it better.
Ours uses 8 sizes of sodium hyaluronate, larger molecules to cushion the surface and smaller ones to hydrate below it, with B5 as the symbiotic water loving vitamin that helps the skin hold onto moisture. And lightly preserved with beneficial Lactobacillus. Four ingredients in total.
Hyaluronic acid holds many times its weight in water. The trick is keeping that water in for longer, which is why we always recommend pairing it with a Shwally oil, cream or balm on top.
We hope you love it as much as we do.

What To Expect
The Research Behind It
Published studies on these ingredients, summarized in our own words. They describe the ingredients, not tests of this product.
-
Seventy-six women aged 30 to 60 applied 0.1% hyaluronic acid creams in five molecular weights around one eye, and a plain cream around the other, twice a day for 60 days. Every hyaluronic acid cream significantly improved hydration and elasticity compared with the plain cream, and the smallest molecules also significantly reduced wrinkle depth. That's why we use more than one size.

In a 30-day study at the University of São Paulo, creams with 1% or 5% panthenol, the provitamin form of B5, significantly reduced water loss through the skin. After skin was stripped with a harsh cleanser, the panthenol creams also reduced water loss within two hours.

Hyaluronic acid is one of skin's main water-binding molecules, and changes in it are closely tied to how skin ages.

University of Manchester researchers found that lysates from certain Lactobacillus strains strengthened tight junctions, the seals between skin cells, in human skin cells. The effect depended on the strain.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
In dry air, hyaluronic acid can pull water from deeper in the skin and let it evaporate. The fix is simple: apply to damp skin and always seal it with an oil or cream on top.
-
Yes. Apply 1–2 pumps once or twice daily to face, neck and chest, avoiding the eye area.
-
Hyaluronic acid draws water in. A Shwally cream, balm or our Squalane Facial Oil on top seals it in so it doesn't evaporate.
-
It's fragrance-free with just four ingredients, which makes it a gentle choice. As with anything new, patch test first.
-
Many use a single size of hyaluronic acid plus synthetic preservatives and fragrance. Ours uses several sizes, adds vitamin B5 and a probiotic ferment, and skips the fragrance, at a down-to-earth price.

Used this serum combined with red light therapy and saw visually changes starting with the very first usage. Highly recommend.

Saw this IG video and I've been using this serum and following their advice about getting in the morning sun with it and it really really works. My skin went from dull and slightly inflamed to glowing and smooth. Such an easy step I've added to my morning routine and the difference it's made.
