I have done research and read about all the benefits hyaluronic acid has for the skin and I was very excited to try my new hylaluonic acid serum. Its suppose to give your skin more moisture (if used the right way) and have no side effects or "rarely" give you an allergic reaction. I purchasedThe Piping Rock brand since it seemed to have high ratings.
the Ingredients: Demineralized Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Citric Acid, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate.
I did my usual skincare routine and applied it where a serum is normally used in a routine...
Hemp Oil for oil cleansing
CeraVe foaming cleanser
Home made apple cider vinegar toner (I have it in a spray bottle and spray my face)
*Hyaluronic acid
Benton snail bee essence
Pat on a small amount of hemp seed oil for extra moisture
After I applied my hyaluronic acid my face started turning red and felt slightly warm. I am assuming this is an allergic reaction? I have never had an allergic reaction with anything I put on my face before. Maybe its an ingredient my skin doesn't agree with? I am wondering if its the apple cider vinegar toner I used before? Perhaps they don't mix well together.
Has anyone else had a problem with hyaluronic acid??
Don't be shy, please reply!
