About SUPER AQUA ULTRA HYALRON SKIN ESSENCE

Overview

SUPER AQUA ULTRA HYALRON SKIN ESSENCE is a lightweight essence from Missha, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 38 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Trehalose, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

What the formula does

Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose and Betaine.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Glyceryl Glucoside, Sodium Hyaluronate and Xylitylglucoside.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.

What it does not target

The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, oil control, brightening and tone and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. 7 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.

What is not in it

It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

Where it fits in a routine

It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.

This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

Pros and cons

Drawn purely from the ingredient list

Pros

  • Strong humectant content for hydration
  • No common irritants flagged in the list

Things to know

  • Contains essential oils, a common source of reactivity
  • 4 ingredients could feed malassezia (fungal acne)
  • Part of the label has not been matched to our ingredient database yet

Which skin types it suits

Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.

Suitable for

  • Balanced skin
  • Combination (oily) skin
  • Oily skin

Less suitable for

  • Dry skin
  • Combination (dry) skin

Sensitive skin

No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.

Skin concerns

Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.

Helps with

  • Hydration 27 ingredients

    Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy

  • Anti-Aging 8 ingredients

  • Soothing 6 ingredients

    Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin

Does not target

None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.

Active and supporting ingredients

Supporting ingredients (30)

Solvents, emollients, texture agents and preservatives — the formula that carries the actives.

Water Glycerin Pentylene Glycol Butylene Glycol Trehalose Betaine C12-14 Pareth-12 Propanediol Caprylic/capric Triglyceride Ethylhexylglycerin Polyquaternium-51 Carbomer Hydrogenated Lecithin Disodium Edta Tromethamine Glyceryl Glucoside 1,2-hexanediol Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil Benzyl Glycol Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans Xylitylglucoside Anhydroxylitol Xylitol Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate Sucrose Palmitate Glucose Glyceryl Caprylate Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil Polyglutamic Acid Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

What is and is not in it

Part of this label has not been matched to our ingredient database, so only what is present is listed — no absence is claimed.

Contains

  • Essential oils

    Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil

  • Facial oils

    Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

What to layer it with

Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.

Compatible with

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
  • Retinoids (retinol, retinal)
  • AHAs (glycolic, lactic)
  • BHA (salicylic acid)
  • PHAs (gluconolactone)
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Azelaic acid
  • Copper peptides
  • Bakuchiol
  • Niacinamide
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Ceramides
  • Signal peptides
  • Panthenol
  • Sunscreen

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.

Where it fits in a routine

Morning Evening
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise
  5. Protect

This product is the "Toning" step.

  • Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
4 ingredients could feed malassezia: Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil, Sucrose Palmitate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
