Surprise Use

I ordered this, obviously, as a nightly hydrating serum, but found another good use for it. I got a really itchy spot on my skin, couldn't tell from what, but I put a concentrated dab of this stuff on it and it helped so much. By concentrated I mean, what I would normally use for my whole face I put just on the itchy spot. Amazingly it worked!

I like it for my face, too, but bonus uses for a product are always good.

I'm 33 and need hydrated skin

Allison B on Nov 30, 2020

I haven’t found a primer that works for me. Applying moisturizer before make up also causes my make up to melt or cake. This absorbs almost instantly, esp if you apply after a hot shower when your pores are open and waiting until you finish dressing before starting your make up to allow it to absorb. Works as a primer for me, but I just ordered the primer by the same product line.

I have bought this serum now 4 times and I keep coming back for more. It absorbs into my skin so quickly and it really helps my moisturizer go even further by helping it really get into my skin to keep me hydrated. I also use this around my eyes and since using it over the past almost 2 years (yes I've only gone through 3 of these is that amount of time because it lasts forever), I have noticed my lines at my eyes gave really diminished and it helps keep my under eye area so hydrated. Buy this!

does this product help with diminishing wrinkles? If not, which products do you recommend to help combat wrinkles?

Sena P on Aug 12, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Depends greatly on what other ingredients your other products (e.g. toner, this, other serums, cream, etc...) have, hyaluronic acid is really not the end all be all of skin care (there's a few articles claiming it actually doesn't help if you life in a dryer climate, if I remember correctly). I can only truly say that this serum absorbs quickly and nicely. Do make sure you follow it with your preferred face cream and sunscreen (for during the day). Hyaluronic acid is great in general, but if you are concerned about wrinkles, try something with collagen as well. Vitamin C is also great at protecting the skin from sun exposure, which inevitably leads to wrinkles and the such.

I have very dry skin due to a medical condition that causes malnutrition and this literally changed my skin. I added this to my morning routine, after cleansing and before a light moisturizer. My dry patches honestly went away! When I am sick and slack off on my routine, I can tell bc my dry patches come back. The minute I begin using this serum again daily, my skin goes right back to being incredibly moisturized. This is a complete game changer for me! And it only take a very small amount, so it lasts quite a long time.

I've always had issues with mixed skin where the oily parts get SUPER oily and the dry parts get extremely fleaky with bad weather. Also I'm terrible at wearing moisturizer on my face as I had always hated the feeling.

As soon as I got the serum I started feeling a difference, no more flaky skin, radiant and extremely soft. It's so light you don't even notice you have it on, I can't say what it does on the long run but as constant wearing goes, its wonderful

Just keep in mind that in dry climates, HA can actually draw water out of the skin instead of into it. I live in southern California, so I usually only use HA at night when I have my humidifier going near my bed so my skin can absorb the moisture from the air. During the day, I skip HA unless it's a particularly humid day.

I cleanse my face, then apply toner, then apply an anti-aging serum (I'm 37), and then, as a last step, I apply mermaid skin. If I'm going to wear makeup, I'll then add a makeup prep and primer, but if you're not using makeup, this should be the final step. It is quite hydrating!

Is it recomendable to use it before I apply my foundation or just at any time of the day just to keep my skin hydrated?

Dulce Paola B on May 5, 2020

BEST ANSWER: This is used as a serum during morning and/or nighttime routines After washing, I apply this to my face while it's still slightly damp so that the hyaluronic serum can seal in the moisture. Then I apply my moisturizer to seal in the serum. Then u can go about your normal routine from there - foundation, makeup, etc. If your face is really dry, u Can apply this again during the day, but NOT after you've applied foundation or other makeup. Only apply to a clean face. But u really only need to apply it once or twice a day to get results. It honestly works so well on my very dry skin that once a day works wonders for me! This stuff is great!

It's part of a day and night facial routine. What I do is wash my face, apply the facial tonic, eye cream and then the serum. Seal with hydrated cream, apply my sunscreen and it's ready for makeup. I do not use much bases or concealers, I prefer to pay special attention to this routine so as not to have to disguise imperfections. I think facial care is your best makeup.
