Is it harmful to apply cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid on the face?
Applying cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid to the face has little side effects. Because the hyaluronic acid concentration provided by general hyaluronic acid stock solution care products is high, it needs to be used with emulsion or essence. When the skin is dry, if hyaluronic acid is used alone, there is no direct moisturizing effect, and even because hyaluronic acid absorbs a lot of water from the skin, it will make the skin drier after use.

The correct usage is: after washing your face in the morning and evening, you only need to apply the mixed hyaluronic acid product to your face, and then apply moisturizing cream to lock the moisture. This will be more effective.

Hyaluronic acid can absorb a lot of water when applied to the skin, and it has the same high water retention regardless of humidity, climate, environment and different skin types. Therefore, hyaluronic acid is an ideal mild moisturizing ingredient for extremely dry or severely dehydrated aging skin.

Extended data:

Hyaluronic acid is a disaccharide unit composed of D- glucuronic acid and N- acetylglucosamine, also known as uronic acid and hyaluronic acid. Its basic structure is a large polysaccharide composed of two disaccharide units, D- glucuronic acid and N- acetylglucosamine.

Unlike other mucopolysaccharides, it does not contain sulfur. Hyaluronic acid molecules can carry more than 500 times of water, which is recognized as the best moisturizing ingredient today and widely used in skin care products and cosmetics.
