They work on completely different levels. Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin. This serum works on the lipid barrier: the glycolipid and fatty acid complex replenishes the structural fats in the skin that lock moisture in. Water-based hydration tends to evaporate without an intact lipid barrier underneath it. If your HA serum isn't giving you the plumpness or glow you're looking for, this is what's missing.
