OH MY GOD. This stuff is AMAZING. My face has been sooooooooooooooooooo dry. I was on Differin for a few months and now accutane, but this stuff is helping! My face isn't dry, nor is it oil. So I guess its "normal". Something I've never been blessed to experience, haha. I used to have super oily skin, then super dry skin...
Anyway, I purchased this bottle from Amazon. Its 2 OZ and comes with a dropper. What I've been doing is after washing my face is applying it all over my face. It comes with a dropper. I drop the contents into my hand (after washing them) and apply it all over. After it absorbs I then apply my moisturizer. I've seen improvements in the short week that I've used it.

Thanks to VPM and CALIFORNIAESTIE for the advice. Very much appreciated!

Recently its all over beauty shows and stuff.
Did it make your skin oily?
Nooooooooooooo. My skin is like in between dry and oil, haha. IDK what to call it, but my pores are small and my skin texture is AMAZING.
I use it in the AM and the PM. After it absorbs I apply moisturizer! I also drink LOTS of water throughout the day. That seems beneficial as well.
I really recommend giving it a go. Apparently HA holds 1,000x its weight in moisture.
There's also this product . It includes some other things. I also think Sephora sells a few products containing HA.

I very much appreciate your help. I feel better being informed, haha. IDK why I never stumbled upon this. Wish I had sooner! Oh well... I guess better late than never is applicable in this instance <3!
Awww, you are SO welcome! I am thrilled that it's helping you. That is always the best feeling! There are tons of options, it's hard to pinpoint which are viable unless you talk to someone who has used a lot of stuff! And that is true! It's never too late to have awesome skin.
@californiaestie are you familiar with Cellbone Technology? I as well want to try an HA. They 'Cellbone' carry an HA which only contains HA and water. How does that hold up in terms w/out the use of a preservative? Does it not need one? They also had many other serums/gels that intrigued me? http://cellbone.com/pureHA.htm
If you get a chance check 'em! I came across them when looking @ the HA post above.
