Hyaluronic Acid

RESEARCH

  • Topical HA hydrates the upper skin layers — apply to damp skin and seal.

COMMUNITY

  • Generally well liked, but a recurring complaint is that applying it to dry (not damp) skin can backfire and pull moisture out.

SAFETYNo significant risks for topical use; applying it in very dry air without sealing can occasionally worsen dryness.
