Francoise & Fragrance Hyaluronic Acid

FRANCOISE & Fragrance offers both Polymer Hyaluronic Acid and Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid, each at 100ml. The difference is molecular weight. High-molecular-weight (polymer) HA sits on the skin surface and forms a moisture-retaining film that slows transepidermal water loss. Low-molecular-weight HA is smaller and can reach deeper into the outer layers of the stratum corneum, where it draws water from within. Neither penetrates the dermis, but together they provide surface and subsurface moisture coverage that a single-weight product cannot match.

Using both in sequence - polymer HA first, low-molecular HA second - maximizes that layering benefit. If you can only choose one, dry skin types often find the polymer HA's surface film more immediately noticeable, while oily or dehydrated skin sometimes responds faster to the low-molecular version.

The Hyaluronic Acid 100% raw solution is an undiluted concentrate without the emulsifiers, preservatives, and skin-feel agents that a finished product contains. This format gives you the active at maximum strength, but it also means you are responsible for dilution. Most people add a few drops to a toner, moisturizer, or mix it into a custom serum. Used directly, a 100% HA solution can feel tacky if applied too thickly or in low-humidity environments; the pull of a tacky finish is a sign you have used too much relative to ambient humidity. In humid conditions the same concentration feels smooth and absorbs well.

The Hyaluronic Acid Peptide at 33ml combines HA with peptides in a concentrate format. Peptides are short amino acid chains that can signal skin to support structural proteins. Pairing them with HA in one product means you deliver moisture retention and firming signals in the same step, which can simplify a routine that would otherwise require separate peptide and HA products. At 33ml it is the smallest bottle in the range, suited for targeted application or for pairing alongside a larger HA toner rather than as a sole hydration product.

FRANCOISE & Fragrance offers several multi-piece configurations. The 5 sets of hyaluronic acid solution bundles five bottles for bulk household or extended-use buying. The 4 polymer Hyaluronic Acid solution set at 100ml each is specific to the polymer variant. The Hyaluronic Acid Low Molecular Weight Polymer 1% Undiluted 6-piece set covers six bottles of a 1% low-molecular concentration at undiluted strength. These sets typically price below buying the equivalent number of individual bottles.

Multi-piece sets work best when you have already tried the formula and confirmed it suits your skin, or when two or more people in a household use the same product. Buying a set before testing is a risk only if your skin turns out not to tolerate the formula; for a well-tolerated HA, a six-bottle set covers well over a year of daily use.

The Fish Collagen Peptide Ampoule at 30ml, sold in 1+1+1 three-piece bundles, adds a collagen-and-peptide layer to the HA-focused range. Fish collagen uses small marine-derived peptide fragments alongside peptides. Applying it after the HA steps and before a sealing cream makes it a firming treatment within a moisture-focused routine. The three-piece bundle format mirrors the multi-set logic of the rest of the range: once you know you use this ampoule consistently, buying three at once lowers cost per use significantly.

The Shine Moisture Cream at 80ml is the finishing step in the collection. HA products - especially low-molecular and raw solution forms - require a sealing layer on top to prevent the moisture they attract from evaporating. Without a cream or oil on top, highly concentrated HA can actually pull moisture from deeper skin layers in dry environments. The Shine Moisture Cream provides that seal. At 80ml it is a standard jar size for a moisturizing cream. Apply it as the last step in a routine that has already included the HA solution and any treatment concentrates.

The correct order for these products is thin-to-thick. After cleansing, apply the Polymer Hyaluronic Acid toner first for surface hydration. Follow with the Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid for deeper-layer moisture. If adding the Hyaluronic Acid Peptide 33ml, apply it at this stage as a concentrate between the two toner steps or after both. The Fish Collagen Peptide Ampoule comes next. Finish with the Shine Moisture Cream to seal all layers. If using the 100% raw solution, add a few drops to the first toner step rather than applying it neat at any stage of a layered routine.

Dehydrated skin - skin that is oily or normal in sebum production but chronically low in water content - responds most visibly to a full layered HA routine. The multi-weight approach addresses both surface and subsurface dehydration simultaneously. Dry skin benefits from the polymer film and the Shine Moisture Cream seal. Oily skin can use the low-molecular HA toner without the cream if the cream feels too heavy, relying on natural sebum for occlusion. Sensitive skin should start with a diluted version of the raw solution before using it at full concentration, as high-concentration actives can occasionally irritate compromised barriers.
