Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizers That Work
Molecular Weight Matters
- High MW: Surface hydration, immediate plumping.
- Low MW: Penetrates epidermis, longer-lasting.
- Multi-weight: Best of both worlds.
What to Look For
HA combined with occlusive ingredients (ceramides, squalane). HA alone in dry environments can draw water OUT of skin.
Application
Apply to damp skin. Always follow with occlusive moisturizer to prevent transepidermal water loss.
Climate Considerations
Humid climate: HA draws moisture from air. Dry climate: layer richer cream over HA serum to prevent backfire.
