Does this act as a moisturizer? Various other sellers of this product say that you need to put moisturizer on top of their hyaluronic acid.

it says to use once a day so I use at night and don't use a moisturizer on top. in the morning I use a different cream with a moisturizer. it works well under make up too. I have only used it for a short time but my skin does feel tighter. good luck dorothy

I use a moisturizer on top of hyaluronic acid. For me it works best this way. Hope this helps.

If you are used to the feeling like from Olay or one of the others,this will not proide that.I actually purchased a Vit C cream which is supposed to work excellently with his product. ( Dr. Oz) . For most days I use ths alone and it is fine, A slight tightening feeling at first which I like. I use boh at night and everyday for the dreaded neck area. I hope this helps. I will reorder when I am almost out if that helps as well.

It does not act as a moisturizer. I apply it after washing my face in the morning and allow it to air dry. My skin feels tight after it dries. Then I apply a moisturizer which I mix with a few drops of pure Argan oil. The results are soft, moist- looking firmer skin with reduced fine lines. For further protection, I use a non-comedogenic sun screen which is non greasy. I really am happy with the product and with my overall facial appearance.

I have to balance mine out. I use this at night and another moisturizer during the day. Using this during the day (swapping the two) made my skin break out with acne (frustratingly common for me and I'm 47!). Using it at night seems to work the best for my skin type. Most moisturizers and many acid products make me break out but this one didn't. I think it really depends on your skin type. I love this stuff! By the way, it also worked really well removing the age spots on the back of my hands!

This serum also contains hyaluronic acid, which helps hold moisture in skin. I would try it - if your skin feels dry you can always top with moisturizer.

B5 gel is used as a moisturizer although some people use it first, then apply a moisturizer. It helps repair tissue and binds moisture in the skin. Mixed with hyalluronic acid which is a natural, highly effective humectant, your skin becomes extremely hydrated which repairs, plumps, and helps heal your skin and prevent further damage from dehydration which is very aging.

You can use Hyaluronic Acid Serum in either AM or PM or both. It probably depends on your current skin care regimen. Ideally you should apply it when your face has been recently washed. So, after a shower or face wash is an appropriate time to use it. Additionally, if there is a time that you apply another moisturizing cream, you can put on the Hyaluronic Acid Serum right before that to make it more effective.

Short answer, yes. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring substance in our body especially needed for eyes and joints, it's gelatinous and keeps cells hydrated- this is why use for wrinkles are good some even opt for this injection than the other "normal" Botox injections- why use injections when I have cream no? I love this specific one- I have tried many different hyaluronic acid creams out there this is the best- given it to many friends and family helps w/ peeling skin after chemical peels it's like giving fluid therapy to my face. Also great for pregnancy dry skin. But isn't too oily for oily skin either. This is info I'm just copying from plasticsurgery.org "When this gel is injected, it acts like an inflated cushion to support facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume or elasticity due to normal aging. It also brings water to the surface of skin to keep it looking fresh and supple."

Hi Carolyn,You do not need to use another moisturizer with this. This alone should suffice and will moisturizer your face nicely. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else. Thank you.Best,AJ

I personally use the serum in the morning but you can probably put it on anytime. I do put moisturizer on top of it.

You can use another retinol on top if your skin can handle it with out getting irritation ( peeling, redness ) other wise you can use another moisturizer on top I do because I don't find it moisturizing enugh for my skin. Just always use your serums first before moisturizer.

Hydrate should be used after you have applied all the other products as your moisturizer. You should be using a sunscreen.

I have that question. I haven't used a moisturizer with it. Didn't see the need.

I do not use it in place of moisturizer. Per my dermatologist, i use it on top of vitamin c cream and before moisturizer and eye cream. I have been using this product for a long time. I swear by it.

I apply it before moisturizing. I tried to use it as a moisturizer, and it made my skin dry.

I did not put a moisturizer before. Only after when the tan is dry. Really liked the tan. Too bad the bottle hives you only about 3 full body applications.

Not clear about your question. Yes, Hyaluronic Acid is found in many beauty creams and dermatologists can inject a formulation of it. However, this NOW Foods product is a pill and the capsules contain a powder. Hyaluronic Acid is Hyaluronic Acid though. Just like water can be liquid, solid, or vapor, it's still water. This is Hyaluronic Acid but in powder form, not a liquid or gel. I hope I answered your question without sounding like a smart-ass.

That is usually how it comes. I have used it for so long, I know how to use. I use it as a daily moisturizer after washing my face each morning. I also apply to my neck and upper chest. Hope this helps.
