Studies find this ingredient to have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. This can help speed up wound-healing.
Hyaluronic acid can be irritating if the molecule has a low-molecular weight, or if the molecules are small.
One study found low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to be pro-inflammatory, meaning some people may experience irritation. This is because our bodies use hyaluronic acid in the wound-healing process to signal to our bodies, via irritation, that something needs healing.
The same study found high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to be anti-inflammatory.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:
Learn more about Hyaluronic AcidHydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a form of hyaluronic acid. It is created by the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid with a high molecular weight. Once created, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid has a low molecular weight.

I’ve got combo skin that is prone to breakouts with the wrong products and I’ve been struggling lately to find something that won’t break me out. Using this 2x daily for the last week I’ve not had any issues which I’m grateful for. It’s not very hydrating however, and it’s got a slightly unpleasant chemical/plastic scent which I’m assuming is the natural odor of the ingredients they use. This Show more

For people who struggle with acne this is not a great moisturiser. I broke out into fungal acne which is really sad because I really like some of the ingredients in this product 😔
I really wanted to love this product considering I have many skin1004 products which did great to my skin, this just wasn't for me. Whenever I'd apply it, my skin would become irritated and eventually it'd break me out.
