I tend to stay away from moisturizers because they leave me oily and cause breakouts, but this product's ingredients are hydrating, anti-aging, and leave my skin dewy, not oily. I use it prior to moisturizing with Seba Med and it leaves me moisturized all day with no breakouts. Highly recommended!
I'm generally a huge Paula's Choice fan - I use 4 of her products (from the Resist Anti-aging for dry skin range) daily and they have completely saved my dry, sensitive skin.
So, given my trust in Paula, and all the fuss about the supposed benefits of hyaluronic acid on dry skin, I splashed out and gave this a whirl. As soon it made contact with my face, I felt excessive tingling (rarely a good sign), so I looked in the mirror and could actually SEE the red patches appearing. It's now a week since I used it and I'm STILL battling with the blemishes and flaky patches it's caused.
I've since done some more research on hyaluronic acid (check out Dr Shereene Idriss - dermatologist - on YouTube) and am astounded to discover that it's probably the worst thing a dry skinned person could put on their face! Yes, it holds water but that water has to come from somewhere, so if you're putting it on your face, guess where it's going to find it?! That's right - the multiple layers your own skin!!! I know people say you have to mist before and after, but save yourself the flakes and buy yourself something with glycerin in - an actual moisturiser that ACTUALLY moisturises. Honestly.
