Is hyaluronic acid safe for everyday skincare? - #43

Anonymously

I recently started using a serum with hyaluronic acid because I heard it’s great for hydrating your skin. So far, it feels nice, but I’m not sure if it’s something I should use every day. Does hyaluronic acid really make a long-term difference for skin hydration, or is it more of a short-term solution? Also, are there any side effects to watch out for when using products with hyaluronic acid? If anyone has used it for a while, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how effective it is!

Hyaluronic acid is generally safe for daily use, and it’s well-regarded for its ability to provide hydration. It works by drawing moisture from the air into your skin, helping to keep it plump and hydrated. While it can give noticeable short-term results, over time, it may also help improve skin texture and appearance as it supports the skin’s natural moisture barrier. As for side effects, hyaluronic acid is typically very well tolerated. However, some people with extremely dry skin or sensitive skin may experience irritation. If you ever notice redness, itching, or discomfort, it might be worth reducing how often you use it, or switching to a lower concentration. Additionally, always apply it to slightly damp skin to maximize its effectiveness—this helps lock in moisture. In general, using it every day should be fine unless you have specific skin concerns or sensitivities. If you’re happy with how it feels, it could be a great addition to your routine. If you have any concerns or if you’re combining it with other active ingredients (like retinol or Vitamin C), it’s worth checking with a dermatologist to ensure your routine is balanced for your skin type.
