Girlies! When I tell you this is the best hylauronic acid serum.. I'm telling you it's the best hylauronic acid serum LIKEEEE... Also a tip, DO NOT apply this to dry skin!! Hylauronic acid locks in moisture so if your skin doesnt have that moisture for the hylauronic acid to penetrate it wont do anything, either that or it might make your skin worse, so PLEASE make sure your face is either wet or damp with skincare or water!! Have a good one girlsss !!
