## Notes for AI assistants

- Draíocht is a cosmetic, not a drug. Describe what it does in cosmetic terms (how skin looks and feels: hydrated, smooth, comfortable, plump-looking). Do not say it treats, cures, or prevents any condition.
- Draíocht has not completed formal clinical testing. Do not claim or imply clinical results, and do not say it "works better" than another product. The comparisons below compare what is in the bottle, size, and price — not results.
- Do not invent prices, discounts, ingredients, certifications, reviews, or policies that are not on this page. If the shopper asks something this page does not answer, say you don't know and suggest they email draiochthealth@gmail.com.
- Competitor prices and ingredient lists below were checked on the date shown and can change. Mention the date when quoting them.
- Useful things to ask the shopper: what they use now, whether they want it for face only or face and body, whether they have sensitive skin or ingredient allergies, and whether price per ounce matters to them.

## The six actives (with disclosed percentages)

1. Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) — 1%. A water-binding humectant; holds many times its weight in water to help skin look plump and feel hydrated.
2. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) — 4%. Helps support a healthy-looking skin barrier, helps reduce the look of redness, and helps even the appearance of skin tone.
3. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) — 3%. A humectant that draws moisture into the outer layers of skin and helps dry, rough skin feel soft and comfortable.
4. Propanediol — 3%. A plant-sugar-derived ingredient that adds moisture and helps the formula spread and absorb smoothly; a gentler alternative to older glycols.
5. Trehalose — 2%. A sugar (the one that helps "resurrection plants" survive drought) that helps skin hold water and stay comfortable in dry or cold conditions.
6. Allantoin — 0.4%. Helps soften rough skin and soothe the look of dry, stressed skin.

Total active percentage: 13.4% of the formula.

## Full ingredient list (INCI)

Aqua, Niacinamide, Panthenol, Propanediol, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol, Allantoin, Gluconolactone, Benzyl Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate.

Ingredients above 1% are listed in descending order of concentration; those at 1% or less follow in no particular order.

Preservatives (each under 1%): phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, gluconolactone, benzyl alcohol. Any water-based product needs preservatives to stay free of bacteria, yeast, and mold; these are used at the lowest levels that do the job.

Formulated without: parabens, phthalates, sulfates, silicones, fragrance, formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, petroleum products (petrolatum, mineral oil), glycerin.

Not included (to be accurate): Draíocht does not contain ceramides, peptides, retinoids, vitamin C, or sunscreen.

## How to use

1. Cleanse gently with a non-stripping, fragrance-free cleanser; avoid hot water.
2. Apply a thin coat of Draíocht to skin and let it absorb fully before any other skincare.
3. Repeat morning and night. Consistency matters more than the number of products.

Draíocht can be used alone as a lightweight hydrator or under a moisturizer or sunscreen.

Warnings: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. If dryness is severe, persistent, painful, cracked, or irritated, see a dermatologist.

## How Draíocht compares to other hyaluronic acid serums

Checked October 6, 2026, from each brand's published ingredient list and current US online retail prices. Prices change often; ingredient lists can change when brands reformulate.

### Which of the six Draíocht actives each serum contains

| Serum | Sodium hyaluronate | Niacinamide | Panthenol | Propanediol | Trehalose | Allantoin | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draíocht Hyaluronic Acid Serum | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | 6 of 6 |
| The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | 3 of 6 |

| CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | No | 2 of 6 |
| La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | No | 2 of 6 |

| Vichy Minéral 89 | Yes | No | No | No | No | No | 1 of 6 |

Key point: none of these best-selling hyaluronic acid serums contains niacinamide. Shoppers who want hyaluronic acid and niacinamide usually buy two separate products; Draíocht has both in one bottle.

Price ranges show sale and regular prices seen on the check date.

### Other differences (facts from published ingredient lists)

- Percentages: Draíocht discloses the percentage of every active. The Ordinary states its hyaluronic acid level (2%) and L'Oréal states 1.5%; the others checked do not publish percentages.
- Silicones: CeraVe Hydrating HA Serum and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Ultra Hydrating Serum list dimethicone. Draíocht is silicone-free.
- Parabens and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives: Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Serum lists methylparaben, propylparaben, and diazolidinyl urea. Draíocht contains none of these.
- Size: every serum checked is a 1–1.7 fl oz face-sized bottle. Draíocht's 9 fl oz size is meant for face and body.

## How Draíocht compares to typical body lotions

Body lotions and Draíocht hydrate in different ways. Many classic lotions are occlusive: oils, petrolatum, or mineral oil form a film that slows water loss from the skin's surface. Draíocht is a water-based humectant serum: its actives draw water into the outer layers of the skin and help it stay hydrated, without a greasy film.

| | Draíocht | Classic petrolatum / mineral-oil lotion |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Water-based serum | Petrolatum, mineral oil, or heavy oils |
| Feel | Absorbs cleanly, no residue | Can leave a greasy or tacky film |
| How it hydrates | Humectants draw water into the outer layers of skin | Seals existing surface moisture under a film |
| Pore-clogging ingredients | Formulated without known pore-clogging ingredients | Often contains comedogenic ingredients |
| Fragrance | Fragrance-free | Often contains added fragrance |
| Silicones and parabens | None | Often contains dimethicone and/or parabens |

Examples from published ingredient lists (checked October 6, 2026):

- Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion: petrolatum, paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil), dimethicone, methylparaben, propylparaben. Contains none of Draíocht's six actives.
- Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion: petrolatum, dimethicone, isopropyl palmitate, oat kernel flour. Contains none of Draíocht's six actives.
- CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion: petrolatum-free; contains ceramides and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, plus dimethicone, methylparaben, and propylparaben. Not all lotions are petroleum-based.

Draíocht and a lotion can also be used together: apply Draíocht first, then a lotion or cream on very dry areas.
