*Do you use HA in your routine?* 💦 🧐








HA I still love but am no longer using:

[natsl]

It started with every youtuber under the sun raves about HA. Now they all crucify it 🤣 same as Niacinamide... wonder which is next?!

[Mayrongr]

I quit HA three months ago and I did not notice ANY difference on my skin. I’m actually glad I got rid of one step in my routine lol. Most of moisturisers already come with HA so I’m definitely NOT purchasing HA serums anymore :)

[a.jpurple]

This is such great timing, you’ve pretty much said what I’ve been wondering! I also have oily skin, I love skincare but I also don’t want so much steps in my routine. So many products have HA, getting a good effective product instead of a dedicated HA would save me money too.

[traceytrotter]

I would never give up a separate hyaluronic acid product and I live in Arizona (just moisturize and you'll be fine). The main reason is something I learned from Dr. Dray actually. It helps other products absorb! I have an issue with absorption and I use it on top of my other potions usually. Not even sticky this way. And what's this about the shelf life? Do we need it to be more than 8 hours? I highly doubt that. And how long is the shelf life on other actives such as peptides per se? Would love to hear more about that. In the meantime, never dis hyaluronic acid!

For me, my skin _thrives_ with HA. The Hada Labo HA toners totally revolutionized my skin in the best way possible! I personally see an immediate difference when I use HA products (especially the Hada Labo lotions) whether I'm in a dry climate or a humid climate...but it may be due to my skin being both dehydrated and on the drier side. My skin drinks up HA and gets super plump and dewy. Everyone's skin type is different though, my friend's skin has no reaction to HA which really goes to show you got to customize things for your own skin. Appreciate the video Casandra! Always informative and fun 😊

I think it honestly depends on your skin or the environment where you live. I live in the south of texas, it's HOT as Hell. I have combination skin and was looking for a moisturizer that wouldn't clog my pores, but still, give me the necessary moisture. Hyaluronic Acid on damp skin, with the Inky List Omega Water Cream, literally saves my skin barrier. Gotta do what works for you! but Thank you, Cassandra!!! for the Omega Water Cream recommendation, because the other options were too expensive for this college student, I decided to give this cream a try, and its been Heaven!

[missyd]

I started using HA about 9 weeks ago because of you. lol. I had 2 forehead lines that were bothering me so I decided to add an HA serum to see if it helped. One of the lines is barely visible now, and the other is only a little more visible. I definitely think HA as a dedicated step is a winner for me. It is in some of my other products, but I see a real difference with having an HA serum added to my routine. I absolutely love the channel and have learned a lot from you. You are as entertaining as you are informative!

[haneulnophi]

I live in a tropical country and my skin is oily, so I don't really use occlusives that much and tend to use light gel creams for my moisturizer (otherwise, my face will be I noticed that whenever I used an HA serum, my skin somehow feels tighter and drier (sometimes it kinda felt itchy too). so that's why I stopped using them, but I thought I haven't found the 'right' serum for my face. but luckily I stumbled on James Welsh's video about why he stopped using dedicated HA serums in his routine and boy oh boy that made immediately stop searching for 'the right' HA serum.

[dawnbourque]

I use a hyaluronic acid moisturizer and my skin has never felt better! I live in a more humid environment near the ocean but in Canada so not the humidity of the Caribbean. I have dry skin so not a sweaty Betty at all.

[jennyr]

Cassandra, I feel like if you ever come out with your own skincare line it's going to be called "Turn & Learn" 😄😉

[katbryce]

I live in England, so lack of humidity generally isn't a problem, and during the heatwave when it was, I was spraying lots of cold water on my face for general survival reasons (we don't have air conditioning here), so it would be able to absorb some of that.

[natashagrundy]

Hi Cassandra, I only recently added the avon hyaluronic acid into my routine as they were having a sale, so I thought I would try it. I use it in the evening before I put on my moisturiser but after my rosewater toner. And I actually couldn't believe how nice my skin was the next morning.

[janedoe]

Thank you for your very thurough and specific honesty😊 it is greatly appreciated.

[skeith]

I love HA. Topically, my two favorite daily serums both contain it. Of course I use moisturizer afterwards. For special events, usually in the evening, I had additional HA to my steamy bathroom skin routine to plump my skin to the max. I use a different molecular size for micro needling and mesotherapy. I especially love nano needling HA into my lips and following it with a thick lip balm for big supple lips. I am a 41 yo man, and I get compliments all the time on the youthfulness of my skin. HA will always be in my routine in one form or another…until i learn more about PGA and find good sources for it. I live in the Midwest, and during dry furnace season, I always apply my skincare in the humidity of the bathroom. (Interior humidity levels during the winter are dryer than most deserts!)

[hanamiller]

FINALLY someone is saying it! Thank you so much. I live in the desert & the HA in products make my skin even more dehydrated.

[marin]

It help me a lot when i have dry skin. I don't use it daily but a couple of time a week. My serum has hylasome EG -10 1, 2%, hyaluronic acid 1% and vit b5 0, 7%

[Vanessa-tmjv]

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for someone to talk about this topic. 👏

[allegory]

Dr Dray loves HA on damp skin, it helps the absorption of other products and reinforces your moisturiser. Also, the goddess that is the Lab Muffin, a cosmetic chemist PhD, completely disputes the 'thesis' that HA drinks up moisture from the deeper layers of the skin.

[dhivyaasankari]

Cassandra can you try some Indian sunscreens as well
