NEW SKIN TREATS HYALURONIC ACID HYDROGEL COLLAGEN FACE MASK GEL GLOWING SKIN

Product Information

Throughout the testing period, our skin felt more hydrated overall (a huge win), with a huge difference in the softness of previously dull and dry areas on our faces. Our T-zones never felt too oily; rather, the serum provided a supple, glossy feel that proved to be a great base for both skincare and makeup. The only thing we wish we could change is that the bottle is a bit small; a larger bottle would last longer. But when you consider the price and accessibility (you can find it in any drugstore, no matter where you are), it can’t be beaten. We highly recommend this serum for anyone looking to treat hyperpigmentation and boost radiance. While it’ll take a little while to see results (good things take time!), we promise it’s well worth it. The antioxidant trio of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid make this serum suitable for those with oily, acne-prone skin. Our editor with oily skin had never used hyaluronic acid before, but noticed the difference after using this serum for eight weeks. Artzi O, Cohen S, Koren A, Niv R, Friedman O.

Dr. Salyards recommends it if hyaluronic acid is your main focus and you don’t mind that it doesn’t offer much else. Ortonne J. (1996). A controlled study of the activity of hyaluronic acid in the treatment of venous leg ulcers.

Efficacy evaluation of a topical hyaluronic acid serum in facial photoaging. It’s true that hyaluronic acid is especially beneficial for those who lean on the dry side, but dermatologists want you to know that this hydrator is great for all skin types. One of its best attributes is its ability to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier by reducing trans-epidermal water loss, says Jill Salyards, DO, a board-certified dermatologist with a private practice in Knoxville, Tennessee. The results will be most visible on those with dryness or loss of elasticity, but it can certainly rejuvenate any and all skin. You can find this superstar ingredient in all types of skin care products, but a hyaluronic acid serum is a great choice because serums tend to be watery and more potent. Hyaluronic acid also has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent product to use to heal and hydrate irritated or sensitive skin. A great product to help dry skin retain moisture, hyaluronic acid is a good lightweight and non-greasy ingredient to help balance oilier skins. How should I apply my hyaluronic acid serum? Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Glow Serum: It’s impossible to discuss products for dry skin without mentioning the Water Drench collection from Peter Thomas Roth. It gave our skin a nice glow and even improved some wrinkles, but we couldn’t tell a huge difference in the moisture levels of our skin. For a serum that’s supposed to increase moisture, we were surprised it didn’t live up to the hype, but it could work nicely for those looking for an anti-aging serum. Because hyaluronic acid can be a large molecule, it's difficult for the ingredient to penetrate the top layers of the skin, so you want to look for a formula that features varying weights and sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules, instructs Dr. Gohara. If you use one with just one size that’s too big, the product will just sit on top of your skin and you won’t get any long-term hydrating benefits. Think about other ingredients in the formula.

SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier (H.A.) ( SkinCeuticals.com) is a cult favorite and includes a 1.3 percent concentration of hyaluronic acid. The serum contains fragrance, and although we found the scent calming and not at all overpowering, it could be irritating to very sensitive skin. We can attest to the lightweight consistency of this formula. It absorbs immediately and is impressively undetectable once it sinks in. As you may have guessed, this is our suggestion for anyone experiencing very dry skin. Whether your skin is normally dry, you live in a dry environment, or you’re using an active ingredient (like retinol or acids) that makes your skin drier than usual, this is a great serum to add to the mix to help soften and soothe.

This serum is an amazing choice for anyone dealing with hormonal changes such as pregnancy or postpartum.

Nevertheless, we really did enjoy using this serum. We liked the liquid USP – it gave it a bit of a sense of difference after testing a bunch of quite gloopy gels. We will say though, to oily skin types, it could be a little off-putting – we wouldn't say it's oily, but if you're oil-averse, you may not like the slight film it leaves on your skin. While we didn’t experience any pilling or peeling under makeup, some say the product can do that. We recommend giving the product at least five minutes to absorb before layering on the rest of your skincare and makeup regimen.Dovedytis M, Liu Z J, Bartlett S.
