hyaluronic acid lotions - moisturizing(& worth the hype?)
  • Hi, I live in asia and recently there has been this hype about hylauronic acids in our lotions and moisturizers. The ingredients for the particular lotion that I'm referring to are: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PPG-10 Methyl Glucose Ether, Methyl Paraben, Disodium Succinate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Succinic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate.
    (if you're wondering which product im referring to, google Hada Labo SHA lotion)
    According to their direction of usage, this is to be used as a toner to prep the skin and then we have to use a moisturizer after that. Im kinda wondering if we can use this directly as a moisturizer instead?

    Thanks for your help! 
  • I have been using this product for the last 2-3 years and I can honestly say giving into the hype was the best thing for my skin. I finally fixed my dry side of combination skin and my skin doesn't feel as tight and uncomfortable. I use this toner as moisturiser occasionally, but my skin needs more moisture usually.
