Cosmedica Pure Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum, Anti-Aging Intense Hydration 8oz

I lost 180 pounds and my skin started to sag once i got into my mid 40's. I wanted to do something and have been researching what can be done about it. This is a really light clean serum with a pleasant smell hardly any at all but you can tell its good quailty. Has no oder and a small amount goes along way. I have freckles that become more noticeable in sun light. This Serum along qith vitamin c has started to fade them and my skin is radiant. I used this with a Dr. Pen Microneedling I purchased off Amazon. Noticed smoother skin, less wrinkles, in about 3 weeks. My skin is also taut and firmer than before. Soon I'll be ordering a hydra Pen!

I'm older. My skin is changing. Wrinkles, bags and dry skin. Oh yes, they're freakin' happening. Hyaluronic Acid sounded like it might be one of the answers I was looking for. It seemed to be in everything that was coming out in 2019 but I don't really like to buy products with a boatload of ingredients I don't need. I like to give my skin what it needs on any given day and not overload it with duplicated ingredients or unneeded ones. So that led me to trying to figure out how you use hyaluronic acid in skin care. What does it do, how does it do it, what will affect its performance? And that can be kind of overwhelming, but it basically boils down to this. It needs moisture (I'm talking good ol' water) to work. Or at least access to it. HA's (I don't want to spell it every time) primary function when it comes to skin care is its ability to carry (bind) 1000's of times its weight in water. It's why it's one of the most moisturizing agents known to science. So you think, great I'll just slap it on my face and I'll be good to go. Yeah, not so much. It matters when you put it on, what you put on after it, and the climate where you live. After I clean my face & do my wash-off GA peel, the FIRST serum I reach for is the hyaluronic acid. (This is the night time routine. Putting this on in a dry climate during the day will DRY you out.) I don't spread it all over my face. I put 2-3 drops in the palm of my hand, and with a finger I tap it into the areas I want to target with it. For me, that's under my eyes, my eyelids and around my mouth and ON my lips. Be careful around the eye area. I don't take it up right under the eye or close to the eye on the lid area. I don't rub it in my eye area either, just to be safe. I always tap, placing it in the area farthest from the eye first and tapping toward the eye. I've never gotten any in my eye, so I don't know if it stings or not. HA is an ingredient that is included in some treatments for the eyes, so I imagine it's probably safe.....but I'm not a doctor or a chemist so.....yeah, use good judgement on your own body? Anyway, it also comes in a pill form to be taken as a supplement (it is naturally occurring in the human body) so I don't have a problem using it on my lips and mouth area. I've got fine lines there that need plumping. After that I continue with the rest of my serums & moisturizer. There are a few things you can't do if you're living in a dry climate and one thing YOU MUST DO in order for this to work. Avoid putting any products on your face that are occlusive, meaning anything that basically seals your face. Think oils or heavy moisturizing creams that some people use to lock in the products so they have the best chance at absorbing into the skin. This creates a barrier that defeats the purpose of using HA. It needs access to moisture, and if it can't get it, it will take it from the closest possible place.....your skin. Which is why some people say it dries their face out. So you're probably wondering how it's going to possibly work in a dry climate? As I said, it's part of my night routine and it's what I do right before I go to bed. On my bedside table I have a humidifier (mine has a spout on it that allows me to control the direction) that blows a cool mist over my head all night. Anyone who's living in a dry climate should do this for their skin, whether you're using HA or not. It's the absolute best thing I've ever done for my skin. In the lip area, I still use a sleeping mask over the HA some nights, I just make sure it's not something that's got a heavy occlusive oil in it. You can google the ingredients in the product to find out if they're a barrier to moisture or not. There is no scent to HA, it's a safe ingredient to use in skin care, it does amazing things for your skin, and ANYONE can use it.....it just might require a few tweaks depending on where you live.

Love this stuff! Ive been using it for several months and it's still more than half full! Its helped a lot with my dry spots. I no longer have to worry about cracking under my nose or flaking under my makeup. It doesn't take much to cover the whole face and neck and if you tap it on the skin it drys very quickly without making it feel tight on the skin. The price is great for the quality and quantity of this product. I will definitely buy this again.

This is an in-depth review of this serum, which I use in my 5-Step Japanese Skincare Routine. This is the third step in the process, with the order being: cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, face cream. I have never used a serum before and was initially intimidated by the word "acid" and the fact that it came in a medicinal looking dropper bottle. But so far I have really enjoyed this addition to my daily skincare routine. Not only do I have combination skin due to my Japanese-American genetics, but I'm also allergic to everything and live in both dry, cold Colorado and hot, humid Georgia. I've been hunting a whole set of products to create the ultimate skincare package. We all have hyaluronic acid in our bodies already, but is generally taken as a supplement to help with joints. Instead of injecting this into my knees, I'm patting it all over my face to help with dry skin. It's supposed to be great for people with eczema or skin problems. I'm using it to help prevent signs of aging, and to improve my combination skin and overall skin tone. PROS: - gentle on sensitive skin (I didn't have a horrible reaction) - helps trap moisture in your skin after your clean and use a toner - can mix it with other nighttime serums - has an initially oily texture that quickly absorbs into skin in dry weather (instant moisture relief!) - has helped with my poor dry hands - evens out skin tone - some lightening affects (or it has relieved my skin of any existing redness?) - no acne or blemishes formed - comes in a handy glass bottle with a rubber dropper - no dye, just a natural clear liquid CONS: - a bit expensive, and lasts maybe a month or so if you're using it generously - takes a while to soak in (you have to keep patting your face with your palms into it absorbs) - a bit tacky in humidity (not to bad if you use it after a shower at night, but in mornings it might affect your makeup) - takes a while to see a difference, especially if you're not applying it evenly - doesn't contain vitamin c, which is supposed to help you absorb/process it better - if you spill any, it's a pain to clean out of clothing OVERALL: I love what hyaluronic acid does for my skin. It really helps to lock in moisture and works well once you get the hang of patting it evenly into your skin. However, it is a bit pricey, which is why I knocked it down a star. But I will buy it again, though perhaps one that includes Vitamin C to help my skin absorb and process the acid more efficiently. There are apparently no studies that prove hyaluronic acid works. I see subtle differences in my skin tone, but not my pores, wrinkles, or tightness of skin. I believe this serum could be used for everyday maintenance, aging prevention in skin, and overall brightness and clarity. But if you're looking to reverse skin aging, wrinkles, or loose skin then you'll need to mix this serum in with another cream that does the trick. Think of this as a booster to your existing skincare routine.

I’ve used Hyaluronic Acid on my face twice a day for three or four years and it’s made an excellent difference in the texture of my skin along will eliminating visible fine line. For years I struggled with adult acne. Not any more it’s gone. One thing I really had been looking for was a non fragrance product. This is perfect.

is okay? not the most amazing thing

I am completely shocked right now! My poor skin has become so tired and stressed looking after going through a bad divorce. I’m also a smoker too I admit. So after doing hours of homework and also being on a tight budget now, I decided to try using a micro-needling stamp and chose this as the first thing to put on right after using the stamp. I received both items and went for it yesterday. When I finished stamping and had tomato face/neck, I applied this and fell asleep in my recliner for about 3 hours before I woke up realizing I’d dozed off. When I got up and walked by the mirror I was like no way!! I wasn’t expecting anything at all other than my skin feeling a little better. But just doing these together one time is amazing! Wow! It’s got me excited to keep doing this regularly now to see what will be the result in 3 months! I also plan to add a vitamin C serum as well. I haven’t been pumped about something like this in a very long time! By the way, my pictures are untouched, except for blocking out my eyes in the first one -which is showing my skin earlier yesterday -and the result I woke up to!! (also untouched other than a zit I had on my nose lol!!!!)

I just ordered this here because of the price. I've used this product before and really like it. If you want to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, this will do it. It hydrates the top layers of your skin and plumps them up so your lines get smoothed out. Works brilliantly for that. It does dry your skin if you use too much, so go easy with it. I also had skin irritation when I used too much, slight burning and redness. But with the right moisturizer, this isn't a problem. I also want permanent change in my skin, so I have experimented with a whole lot of products and now have a great, affordable anti-aging skin care regimen. First, I beg to differ with the other commenters here that you can't reduce lines and wrinkles. Yes you can. It's more difficult if you are addicted to sun or cigarettes - they are the worst for your skin (alcohol isn't great either), but I had deep crevices on my forehead, heavy lines around my eyes and lips and they are gone. Not anymore. In addition to this product (this is the best hyaluronic acid product), I made a daily ritual of a retinol cream at night - best results were from RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream, 1 Ounce - this product in the morning, and morning and night I use my all time, never live without, the one thing I would pack for a desert island, Bel Essence All-Natural Anti-Wrinkle Treatment - Intensive Anti Aging, Facial Lift Skin Care Formula - 1.5oz . The retinol helps your skin turn over faster so that helps eliminates lines and wrinkles. The hyaluronic acid plumps up your skin so they aren't as noticeable, and the bel essence gives your skin the vitamins, fatty acids, omega 3's and 6's that are needed to build healthy new skin, minus the lines, wrinkles and dark spots. The bel essence also relieves the harshness of using retinol and hyaluronic acid, especially if you have dry to sensitive skin like me. I was shocked that an all natural product could erase wrinkles, but the bel essence is fabulous and even when I stop using the Roc for a while, the bel essence keeps working on the lines and dark spots. Only product I have ever used that gave consistent and permanent results. Add weekly exfoliating (I use a clay mask), and my skin is now, after a year, so smooth, soft, and skin tone is so great, that the only make up I wear is blush and mascara. I started seeing some instant results, the bel essence and hyaluronic acid hydrated my skin immediately and made it look good, but after a couple of months, I was seeing permanent change. I use the same regimen on my neck and hands, and I get compliments all the time about how young I look, how soft my skin is and that I have a glow to my skin. The lines on my neck are gone, and my hands don't look like old lady crepe skin. I look better than I did 10 years ago. The right combination of products makes all the difference.

Notei melhora na minha pele e o produto não causou nenhuma irritação (tenho a pele sensível, e o produto mostrou-se apropriado para o meu caso)

I bought this to use as a "slip" for microneedling my skin at home. It proved to be perfect, no discomfort or purging of my skin. My skin felt significantly more hydrated and also helped with my hyperpigmentation. No fragrance. The consistency is like water, I do wish it was a little thicker to avoid it slipping down my face so fast but apart from that it's perfect. Can't beat the price of performance.

Llevo 4 años usandolo es maravilloso en mi me hace un efecto lifting y rellena mis líneas de expresión tengo 40 años y tenía una línea ya muy marcada en el entrecejo este producto me lo quito definitivamente ya no tengo arrugas marcadas.b
