What should you know about a hyaluronic acid booster from Paula's Choice?

Hyaluronic acid binds water at the skin surface and can make dry or tight skin feel more comfortable. A booster may be used alone, mixed with another compatible product, or placed under moisturiser, depending on the product instructions. The brand name does not change the basic role of the ingredient or remove the possibility of sensitivity to the complete formula.

Patch test first if you have reactive skin. Apply a small amount after cleansing, preferably while skin is lightly damp, and seal it with moisturiser. Introduce other active products separately so a reaction is easier to trace. Keep the container closed, follow storage directions, and stop if discomfort persists.

Get medical advice for facial swelling, hives, blistering, intense burning, or breathing symptoms. If dryness, scaling, or redness continues despite stopping the booster, a clinician can check for dermatitis or another cause.

Ask whether the full ingredient list suits your skin, how to combine it with prescription products, and what alternative is appropriate if it irritates you.
