Hanacure Nano Emulsion Daily Moisturizer ($59)
What It Is:
A lightweight daily moisturizer that uses tiny, fast-absorbing particles to keep skin hydrated all day, with a weightless finish that doesn’t feel greasy.
How to Use:
Pump 1-2 times onto palm of hand. Spread evenly over face until absorbed. Repeat as necessary. Can be safely used multiple times throughout the day as needed.
Editor Feedback:
“When you feel the texture of this moisturizer, you will be shocked at how the brand managed to squeeze all these heavy-hitting ingredients into it. It’s so lightweight—ultralight—and absorbs like a dream. My makeup layers seamlessly on top, and my skin still feels hydrated at the end of the day.” —Britt Fallon, director of beauty
Key Ingredients:
Antrodia cinnamomea—also known as the ruby of the forest mushroom—is a rare, antioxidant-rich mushroom native to Taiwan that’s known to support the skin barrier. It’s joined by copper tripeptide-1, which helps the skin heal and promotes collagen and elastin production for structure and elasticity, and acetyl hexapeptide-8, which softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily limiting the movement of facial muscles.
Expert Insight:
“The Nano Emulsion Daily Moisturizer proves clean and clinical aren’t opposites. Our proprietary nano-emulsification process transforms consciously chosen ingredients into a texture that shouldn’t be possible: rich yet weightless, cashmere-soft, absorbed in seconds, leaving nothing but visible results.” —Will Chen, cofounder, Hanacure

A concentrated anti-aging serum that illuminates and revitalizes skin.
