Lightweight K-Beauty moisturizer with 8% plant-derived Squalane and 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid. Deeply hydrates, visibly plumps, and supports a healthy-looking skin barrier. No grease, no residue.
From MEDITHERAPY, a South Korean skincare brand known for clinically-inspired formulations at accessible price points. The Squalane Skin Booster Moisturizer is built around three high-concentration active layers: 8% plant-derived Squalane for barrier support and oil-moisture balance, 3% Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) for visible skin conditioning and soothing, and 8 distinct types of Hyaluronic Acid targeting hydration at every depth of the skin's surface. No parabens, no silicones, no sulfates, no harsh alcohols. Lightweight, non-greasy, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive and oily skin. 150mL with pump dispenser.
Benefits:
- 8% Plant-Derived Squalane: Helps support the skin's visible moisture barrier and maintain oil-moisture balance. Absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Non-comedogenic.
- 3% Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Helps visibly soothe, condition, and soften the skin. Widely used in sensitive skin formulations for its calming visible properties.
- 8 Types of Hyaluronic Acid: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, and Potassium Hyaluronate. Different molecular weights target hydration at multiple layers of the skin's surface.
- Adenosine: Helps improve the visible appearance of skin elasticity and smoothness with consistent use.
- No parabens, no silicones, no sulfates, no harsh alcohols. Lightweight gel-cream texture. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive, oily, and acne-prone. 150mL pump bottle.
Why 8 Types of Hyaluronic Acid
Most moisturizers use a single form of Sodium Hyaluronate. The issue is that different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid function at different depths of the skin's surface. High molecular weight forms sit on the surface and act as a humectant, drawing moisture from the environment into the skin's outermost layer. Low molecular weight and crosslinked forms penetrate deeper into the skin's surface layers. Hydrolyzed forms have the smallest molecular size and reach the deepest layers accessible to topical ingredients. Using all 8 forms together means the moisturizer is working at every accessible layer simultaneously rather than just on the skin's surface.
Why Squalane
Squalane is a saturated, stable version of Squalene, a lipid that occurs naturally in human sebum. As we age, our skin produces less Squalene, which contributes to visible dryness and a compromised moisture barrier. Topical Squalane closely mimics the skin's own oils, which makes it exceptionally well tolerated even by oily and acne-prone skin. At 8%, the concentration in this moisturizer is meaningfully higher than what is found in most mass-market formulas. The plant-derived source (typically from sugarcane or olive) is the standard used in K-Beauty formulations and is vegan-compatible.
Why Panthenol at 3%
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) converts to Pantothenic Acid on contact with the skin and is one of the most widely used ingredients in sensitive skin formulations. At 3%, this is a functional concentration rather than a token inclusion. Panthenol helps the skin appear visibly smoother and more conditioned, and is particularly useful as a visible soothing agent for skin that is dry, irritated, or recovering from active ingredient use such as retinoids or exfoliants. Pairing Squalane with Panthenol makes this moisturizer a strong complementary product to the MEDITHERAPY Retinal Serum.
How It Fits Into a Skincare Routine
This moisturizer is designed as a final hydration step after serum. If you are using the MEDITHERAPY Retinal Skin Booster Serum, apply the serum first, wait for it to absorb, then apply this moisturizer. The Squalane and Panthenol help support the appearance of the skin barrier after retinoid use, reducing visible dryness and redness that can accompany a new retinoid routine. For those not using a retinoid, it works as a standalone daily moisturizer for morning and evening use.
