In reply to Angie P. Angie, you're complicating this too much. Hyaluronic acid works whether you use before or after moisturizer, before or after serum... so applying whenever it's convenient for you. I personally use this just before moisturiser.

Hello, I haven’t been able to find a clear answer to my question. When are you supposed to use hyaluronic acid? When your face is wet, before applying an exfoliating acid and vitamin C? Or do you need to apply those two first, mist your face, then add the hyaluronic? Any help would be much appreciated.

In reply to Christina. Christina, thank you for pointing that out. However, latest research shows that Alcohol Denat isn't as bad as previously thought. It's drying when it's used alone. But in a cream with plenty of hydrating ingredients, its side effects are nullified. You should only avoid this ingredient if: a) the product doesn't contain any moisturising agents and b) if you have an allergy/sensitivity to it.

In reply to Kit. Kit, try lactic acid a couple of times a week at night. It's gentle and hydrating, too.

Great article! I ordered the cheat sheet. You mention using glycolic acid, which I would be interested in doing. I worry, though, about my skin barrier, as I’m 68 with skin sensitive as well as dry. Right now, I use my husband’s BR P-50 1970 twice a week. What would you recommend I use instead, and how often do you suggest I use it?

I think you should take a closer look at La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Alcohol Denat is high on the list!
