- Apply to slightly damp skin rather than waiting for skin to dry completely.
- Use a moisturiser afterward to help reduce moisture loss.
- In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Pause before adding to cart
- More HA percentage does not automatically mean better performance.
- A serum can still irritate because of fragrance, preservatives or other actives.
- For very dry or eczema-prone skin, a bland cream or ointment may matter more than another serum.
