Use the Perfect Beauty hyaluronic acid face serum after cleansing, before your face cream. The key step is to apply a few drops to slightly damp skin, not completely dry skin. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it binds water; having a little moisture on the skin gives it water to hold in the surface and upper layers of the epidermis.
- Cleanse your face and leave the skin lightly damp, or mist it with water if it has already dried.
- Apply a few drops of serum and spread it gently over the face, avoiding rubbing aggressively.
- Wait briefly until it absorbs, then apply your moisturising cream on top.
The cream step is especially important in heated rooms, air-conditioned spaces or very dry climates. Without a moisturiser over it, a humectant may not give the same comfortable finish and can feel less effective on dehydrated skin. In the morning, you can use it under your usual day cream and makeup; in the evening, use it under a night cream. If you use several skincare products, a simple order is: cleanser, this serum, moisturiser, and in the daytime your usual sun protection if you use it.
