What should you know about No7 hyaluronic acid?

Short answer
No7 hyaluronic acid is a topical skincare product designed to support surface hydration; it should not be confused with hyaluronic acid injected into a joint.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

- Topical use
- Surface skin hydration
- Orthopaedic injection
- A separate clinician-led procedure
Understanding the difference
Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water. In skincare, it is spread over the skin and may reduce the feeling of dryness or tightness. The product does not reach a painful knee, shoulder, or tendon through the skin.
An injection is a clinical procedure selected for a particular diagnosis and treatment site. It uses a medical formulation and requires assessment of benefits, alternatives, and possible reactions; a cosmetic serum cannot substitute for that decision.
Practical use
Use the No7 product as its label directs, preferably on clean skin, and follow with a moisturiser if needed. Introduce it cautiously when using other active products. Stop and seek advice if swelling, hives, marked irritation, or eye symptoms appear.
For orthopaedic questions, read about [Hyaluronic Acid](/materials/hyaluronic-acid/) and [Hyaluronic Acid Injection](/treatments/non-surgical-orthopedics/hyaluronic-acid-injection/).
When to seek care
Arrange medical assessment for ongoing joint pain, locking, instability, or swelling after an injury. Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty or rapidly spreading facial swelling after applying any product.
Questions for your doctor
Ask whether your symptoms need examination or imaging, whether an injection fits the diagnosis, and which skin ingredients or medicines should be avoided together.

Questions people ask
Does No7 hyaluronic acid lubricate a joint?
No. A topical product acts at the skin surface and does not lubricate an internal joint.
What if the product stings?
Rinse it off, stop using it, and seek advice if discomfort persists or if swelling, hives, or eye symptoms develop.
