Humectant in skincare products

Check a product label in the checker

What the ingredient tells you

Hyaluronic acid helps bind water and is used in moisturizing products. Labels may name related forms, such as sodium hyaluronate. The name alone does not predict how a finished formula will feel.

Using the finished product

Follow the finished product's directions. General moisturizer advice is to apply it to damp skin, but that is not a guarantee about every serum. You do not need to add a separate product if your routine already covers moisturizing.

Compatibility and tolerance

Hyaluronic acid is not automatically an exfoliating acid because "acid" appears in its name. There is no universal order or compatibility guarantee for every product containing it. Check the whole formula and stop if it causes a reaction.
