What is this product? What is it supposed to do?
WHAT IT IS
H.A. Intensifier is a multi-beneficial corrective serum proven to amplify skin’s hyaluronic acid levels by 30%. This unique formulation contains a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid, proxylane™, and botanical extracts of licorice root and purple rice to support skin’s hyaluronic acid levels and deliver surface hydration, helping improve the visible appearance of firmness, smoothness, and facial plumpness.
BENEFITS
Reduces the look of crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to chin) for smoother, firmer skin.
Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

What is the texture like?
This feels like a thick, watery gel.
Is this scented?
This doesn't really have a discernible scent.
What has my experience with the product been like?
I can't speak in-depth about the hydration or anti-aging effects of this long-term because I haven't used it long-term. That said, you can immediately feel the hydration as soon as you apply this. I find it feels somewhat sticky, which I don't love. I'll have to keep using it to see if I'm impressed with its effects but $100 for hyaluronic acid seems rather pricey.
