Suitable For:

• Daily hydration

What Ingredients to Avoid:

While Hyaluronic Acid is generally well-tolerated, avoid combining it with:

• Highly acidic formulations (e.g., pure Vitamin C – L-Ascorbic Acid) – May destabilize HA.

• High concentrations of exfoliating acids (e.g., AHA/BHA peels) – May cause irritation if overused.

• Products with very low pH – Can reduce HA effectiveness and cause mild reactions in sensitive skin.

• Alcohol-based products – Can counteract the hydrating effects by increasing skin dryness.
