Should the hyaluronic acid be used &amp; then the C. Cream?

I always use the hyaluronic acid first on clean skin before any other product, and moisturizer last, before foundation.

I would definitely try image skin care Ageless Total Pure Hyaluronic. I've used it for years and wouldn't think of using anything else. I do put another moisturizer on top of it but as the base product, you can't beat this serum. I'm 56

Wash your face first and if need be use a toner, the key to hyaluronic acid is that it has the ability to lock moisture into your face. Apply a thin coating onto the skin and let dry for about 15min. If part of your skin routine is to apply moisturizer or sunscreen then wait till the serum is less sticky. Serums absorb into the skin and lotions tend to sit on top of the skin. After that I tend to spritz my face with Na-PCA which is know to attract moisture from the air. The first couple of day I only applied it at night but now that my skin has gotten used to the Vitamin C I use it once in the morning and once at night.

Sorry! I meant Vit. C. Also 100% pure hyaluronic acid. No favorite name - I shop the internet for value and strength.

I didn't use any moisturizing cream or lotions. I used only vitamin C serum with vitamin E and a few other ingredients added and I awoke with a brighter complexion and reduced pore size. If you have trouble with dry skin, hyaluronic acid is a great moisturizer. There are many serums on here that others have used after derma rolling and I think they all work well on their own- without adding facial creams. I have rarely used my Cetaphil lotion since using the serums and I have only worn makeup on a few occasions since using the roller and serums. I almost don't see a need for makeup anymore. My under eye circles are almost gone and I've had them my whole life I believe it's the vitamin C serum I use every morning and night after washing my face with Cetaphil bar soap- as recommended by my dermatologist.

First of all, I'm not sure how you are going to dissolve the "C" in your moisturizer. The recipe I follow calls for 1/2 tsp of C crystals and 2 Tbl of vegetable glycerin and 1/2 tsp of distilled water. Two Tbl is probably more than you would use at one time on your face. Not really sure how you would estimate cutting down the amount of C or if that is even advisable.

I agree, not a wrinkle filler, but Hyaluronic acid attracts water. At young ages the human body is very rich with hyaluronic acid, the reason young people have firm, well-hydrated skin that heals promptly; however, its quantity deteriorate dramatically with age, which make skin susceptible to wrinkles, dehydration, and infection. Due to this fact a lot of cosmeceutical companies have introduced it into their products. The presence of hyaluronic acid in epithelial tissue has been shown to promote keratinocyte proliferation and increase the presence of retinoic acid, causing skin hydration. Hyaluronic acid's interaction with CD44 drives collagen synthesis and normal skin function. Present in the extracellular matrix of basal keratinocytes, hyaluronic acid is critical to the structural integrity of the dermal collagen matrix. These benefits make hyaluronic acid a very effective topical humectant; however, results may only be sustained as part of an ongoing treatment program.

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

I've used Hyaluronic Moisturizing cream for a while now and I really like it. I will stick with it. It also reduces wrinkles and fine lines . It soaks right into the skin.

One of the main chemicals in this product is Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, which is found in our cartilage and joints naturally. It is now put in some high end face creams to help rejuvenate our skin.

Make your own Hyaluronic acid serum * Pour 1/2 ounce of distilled water in a small glass container, preferably the one you will use to dispense your serum. A 1/2 ounce or 1-ounce glass pump bottle is ideal. * Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid powder into the water. (NOTE: the powder and water will not incorporate right away). * Cover and leave the mixture to set for 4-8 hours, overnight if possible, in a cool, dry place. * After setting up, the mixture should become a gel. * Once the mixture is set, add preservative (Germaben or your choice, as long as it's safe for water-based cosmetic mixtures) and mix well. * Use this serum twice daily by spreading a small amount (dime size or smaller) over your face and neck, after you cleanse and before you moisturize. This recipe probably will last for a couple of weeks.

I use the moisturizer first and then put on the Pond's Clarant B3 dark spot. But this is my preference. Perhaps it does not make any difference which one you put on first. I like to use both.

In the mornings after applying hyaluronic acid I use olay complete and at night I use Hyaluronic acid and ROC Retinol Correxion max. it has made a huge difference in my skin. I also recommend the Derma Roller twice a week with very little pressure needed. I bought my Derma Roller for like under $6 and its the .5 through Amazon.

Glycolic Acid is used most in chemical peelings where you want removed old skin cellsdark spots, etc. if you want to treat wrinkles you should combinetreatments like this with hyaluronic acid and retinoil products

There should be no problem using both, you don't have to but you can. As Davina said, it depends on how much you need. It has different benefits to skin. Witch hazel extract & L-Arginine are just some of the other ingredientn in HA serum while Firming cream has hexapeptide-8 and other high end ingredients. I will also go with what Susan said, let it dry first. It shouldn't take that long for your skin to absorb the product since it's a serum, it has smaller molecule than cream/lotion.

On the blue stripe that forms the top of the label mine says: "Combines Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamins A and C to reduce fine lines and wrinkles." On the front of the label it says "Hydrating Night Crème with Hyaluronic Acid." Like one of the other respondents I've thrown out the box, but this is right on the jar. I use it on my hands at night, too.

When I purchased both Vit C serum and anti-aging serum Xfacio Labs confirmed my purchase via email and they were very informative in describing how to use it which was helpful. They said to use the Vit C serum first, then the anti-aging serum. Let the anti-aging serum set in, then apply a moisturizer to finish it off. Very pleased with this product.
