popular hyaluronic serums

Hyaluronic acid is an ingredient found naturally in the skin and maintains hydration levels because it has the ability to bind water (1000 times the amount of its weight). With good reason, hyaluronic acid is a superstar for skin care and is needed by every skin type, even oily skin, because it can often be dehydrated. It is basically a “moisture magnet”, which it attracts from the atmosphere. Over time, the level of our hyaluronic acid decreases, which results in wrinkles and irregular texture, so we replace it with products that contain it, which provide moisture to the skin, making it soft and elastic and filling wrinkles.

Both of these sera contain 2% pure hyaluronic acid of three different molecular weights. The smaller masses act deeply, and the larger ones act on the surface of the skin. I prefer The Inkey List serum due to its non-sticky texture and the addition of Matrixyl peptide. TO serum with hyaluronic acid contains panthenol (B5) which soothes the skin. Both are affordable, except that TO is in a glass dropper bottle, while The Inkey List is in a cheaper, plastic one. Both should be combined with a cream and can be used daily, in the morning and evening routine on cleansed skin. All products are applied to the neck and décolleté and can be used by all skin types. The manufacturer’s recommendation is that hyaluronic serums be applied by dabbing on cleansed, moist skin of the face and neck.
