Revolution Skincare London, 2% Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum, 30 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

There are (multiple) reasons why Hyaluronic Acid has made such a big name for itself and it’s mostly because it just, well, works. It’s straightforward to formulate, is really effective even at low usage levels, works on a wide variety of skin types, and is very easy to slot into your routine (unlike its more complex and needy sisters Vitamin C and Retinol). Just call it the cheese (or your favourite vegan alternative) of the skincare world; everything is a bit better with some HA sprinkled on top of it. The antioxidant trio of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid make this serum suitable for those with oily, acne-prone skin. Our editor with oily skin had never used hyaluronic acid before, but noticed the difference after using this serum for eight weeks.

Pair with: Relove Blender Bestie & Relove Super HD Setting Powder for a smooth and even finish blended to perfection. Our editor with dry skin gave this serum a try and had nothing but positive results. It smoothed out fine lines and wrinkles, got rid of some stubborn dry patches, and significantly reduced redness, giving our editor enough confidence to go without makeup.Four weights of Hyaluronic Acid: different molecule sizes have different properties and using a variation of these helps build up a 3D network – the smallest weight of HA can penetrate deeper and enhance skin moisture while the highest molecule weight smooths skin and prevents water loss – all-round hydration! Yes, it’s safe to use hyaluronic acid on a daily basis. In fact, you can use hyaluronic acid in both your morning and evening skin care routines. It’s pretty gentle, so as long as you’re not using multiple sources of hyaluronic acid in the same regimen, it’s unlikely to cause irritation from daily use.

as beneficial to the skin. Instead, use Vitamin C or Niacinamide in the mornings and Glycolic Acid in the evenings Despite being a hydration hero, hyaluronic acid doesn’t have to break the bank. There are so many affordable, lightweight serums available on the UK market, from The Ordinary to the newbie skincare line Q&A. Today, I’m going to be focusing on one of my budget HA faves; the Revolution Skincare 2% Hyaluronic Acid. I get through a bottle of this every other month (and no, that’s not from pouring it into my bath). Even active ingredients that don’t always mix well with others, such as vitamin C and retinol, play nicely with hyaluronic acid. You can use them in the same routine, and hyaluronic acid can even counterbalance any sensitivity or dryness caused by certain active ingredients. The Mad Hippie serum contains quite a few antioxidants along with hyaluronic acid to combine brightening and hydrating benefits. Personally, we found this serum to be as hydrating as it claims, but even more impressive than its hydrating abilities were its brightening properties. We can probably thank the blend of antioxidants for the noticeable boost in brightness, which was unexpected but wholeheartedly welcomed. It also improved clogged pores and smoothed out some bumpy texture, so if that doesn’t prove it’s suitable for oily skin, we don’t know what will.Dermatologists generally love CeraVe. Both Dr. Salyards and Dr. Brauer give CeraVe hyaluronic acid serum glowing recommendations for its effective but thoughtful formula. “You can’t go wrong with CeraVe products,” says Dr. Salyards, adding that they’re affordable, accessible, and suitable for those with sensitive skin and other skin issues that can make it harder to find the right skin care routine. It leaves a little residue behind on your hands. Also, while the serum has a subtle and pleasant scent, you’ll want to be mindful of the added fragrance if you have sensitve skin. This serum is an amazing choice for anyone dealing with hormonal changes such as pregnancy or postpartum. Use With Other Skincare Products: If you use a topical medication prescribed by your dermatologist, it may come before any serums or moisturizers. In that case, you would apply a hyaluronic acid serum on top of it, Dr, Robinson explains, adding that this can also help alleviate sensitivity from prescription-strength ingredients like retinoids. Since hyaluronic acid’s whole gist is that it draws water into the skin, applying it to damp skin helps it do its job even better, Dr. Yadav adds. The most important step, Dr. Brauer says, is to seal it in with a moisturizer. This prevents the hyaluronic acid from escaping. We can attest to the lightweight consistency of this formula. It absorbs immediately and is impressively undetectable once it sinks in.
