Revolution Skincare London, 2% Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum, 30 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

At first the serum left our skin feeling a little tight, but after using it consistently our skin was smoother, brighter, and more hydrated. Overall Look: We took note of how each product worked over the course of the testing period, and whether or not our complexion looked better with regular use. We also noted any issues we had with product fragrance and how the serums interacted with sensitive skin. Tip: For best results, use in conjunction with the full Hylaboost range, but this formula is also a great addition to any range for its smoothing and plumping benefits. Dr. Salyards recommends it if hyaluronic acid is your main focus and you don’t mind that it doesn’t offer much else.

It’s true that hyaluronic acid is especially beneficial for those who lean on the dry side, but dermatologists want you to know that this hydrator is great for all skin types. One of its best attributes is its ability to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier by reducing trans-epidermal water loss, says Jill Salyards, DO, a board-certified dermatologist with a private practice in Knoxville, Tennessee. The results will be most visible on those with dryness or loss of elasticity, but it can certainly rejuvenate any and all skin. You can find this superstar ingredient in all types of skin care products, but a hyaluronic acid serum is a great choice because serums tend to be watery and more potent. According to dermatologists, hyaluronic acid is a gentle active ingredient that can be paired with many other active ingredients. You can use hyaluronic acid in the same routine as ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and others. However, you should try to avoid layering multiple products that each contain hyaluronic acid. In doing so, you could cause some irritation from using too much of the same ingredient. Farmacy Filling Good Hyaluronic Acid Serum: A clean option, we like the gentle ingredients in this formula for those with sensitive skin or anyone who actively avoids fragrance, parabens, and the like. We wanted to love it as much as the ingredients list, but at the end of the eight-week testing period, we couldn’t tell much of a difference. Compared to others we tested, this one fell short, though it feels and smells nice. After eight weeks of testing, it completely transformed our skin. It’s softer, plumper, and brighter, but perhaps the most significant improvement was related to skin texture. Our editor who tested it has always had dry, combination skin with some acne, but after using this serum, those concerns are long gone.

what are your main skin goals?

I honestly think that this product, along with most Hyaluronic Acid serums, is a good product for most skin types. There’s no doubt that HA is a huge benefit for dry and dehydrated skin types, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t give it a go if you’re on the oilier side. It’s a light and non-greasy way to add some hydration to your skin—which might actually help to balance out oil production! I am very acne-prone and I haven’t had any problems with this product. Despite being a hydration hero, hyaluronic acid doesn’t have to break the bank. There are so many affordable, lightweight serums available on the UK market, from The Ordinary to the newbie skincare line Q&A. Today, I’m going to be focusing on one of my budget HA faves; the Revolution Skincare 2% Hyaluronic Acid. I get through a bottle of this every other month (and no, that’s not from pouring it into my bath). Hyaluronic acid is a great ingredient for dehydrated and tired-looking skin, but to be honest, everyone can benefit from adding this hydration-hero into their routine! Yes, it’s safe to use hyaluronic acid on a daily basis. In fact, you can use hyaluronic acid in both your morning and evening skin care routines. It’s pretty gentle, so as long as you’re not using multiple sources of hyaluronic acid in the same regimen, it’s unlikely to cause irritation from daily use. With 1.5% hyaluronic acid as the only active ingredient, Kiehl’s Ultra Pure High-Potency 1.5% hyaluronic acid serum is a simple but targeted formula. “I like Kiehl's, and this product has a potent formulation of hyaluronic acid, which is great,” Dr. Salyards says. With 1.5% concentration, it’s right in the range our dermatologists recommend—0.5 to 2.0 percent.

with other ingredients due to its low pH. It can break down Vitamin C and Niacinamide into compounds that are not This serum is a good choice if you’re looking for anti-aging benefits, says Dr. Yadav, since it contains a blend of peptides that promotes collagen production and provides a plumping effect. as beneficial to the skin. Instead, use Vitamin C or Niacinamide in the mornings and Glycolic Acid in the evenings Hyaluronic acid is an active ingredient in skin care products that works by increasing hydration (water content) in the skin. More specifically, it’s a humectant, which means it retains moisture. There are many humectants to choose from, but hyaluronic acid is considered the gold standard for reducing dryness.

The serum contains fragrance, and although we found the scent calming and not at all overpowering, it could be irritating to very sensitive skin. The antioxidant trio of vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid make this serum suitable for those with oily, acne-prone skin. Our editor with oily skin had never used hyaluronic acid before, but noticed the difference after using this serum for eight weeks. Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Glow Serum: It’s impossible to discuss products for dry skin without mentioning the Water Drench collection from Peter Thomas Roth. It gave our skin a nice glow and even improved some wrinkles, but we couldn’t tell a huge difference in the moisture levels of our skin. For a serum that’s supposed to increase moisture, we were surprised it didn’t live up to the hype, but it could work nicely for those looking for an anti-aging serum.

Four weights of Hyaluronic Acid: different molecule sizes have different properties and using a variation of these helps build up a 3D network – the smallest weight of HA can penetrate deeper and enhance skin moisture while the highest molecule weight smooths skin and prevents water loss – all-round hydration!Hydration: Each serum was rated based on how much it moisturized our skin, both in the short and long term. If the product made our skin feel at all dry or tight, we recorded how long these effects lasted and whether or not they were a one-time occurence. As I’ve got a little older and eased out of my oily-skinned, acne-prone days (read my acne story and guide to clearing acne), I’ve had one thing on my mind when it comes to skincare: hydration . And for hydration, nothing tops Hyaluronic acid (I mean, I could be wrong, but I bloody well love this stuff regardless).

your routine (as both should ideally be used in the evenings) alternate use between the two actives on different As one of the industry’s most popular active ingredients, there’s no shortage of hyaluronic acid serums to choose from. We tested 27 of the top-rated products on the market, but only 12 made the cut. Here are some that were also in the running. They didn’t make our final list of recommendations, but since skin care is personal, they may be ideal for some people. I love how this serum makes my skin look. My skin can get quite dehydrated and dull, but if I apply this to damp skin and seal it with a moisturiser, it instantly looks brighter and plumper. I have a few faint fine lines under my eyes (I’m well on my way to 30, FYI) and they seem to almost fill out once I’ve applied the Revolution Hyaluronic Acid to them. I truly feel that Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient that every skincare-junkie should be adding to their routine. It’s gentle, it’s hydrating and it gives that super sought-after plumping effect instantly . The great thing about the Revolution Hyaluronic Acid is that it’ll give you a chance to try out HA and see if it can work for your skin. If you don’t enjoy it, it didn’t exactly break the bank.

my skin usually feels

I notice a real difference in the overall hydration and condition of my skin when I use a Hyaluronic Acid serum (including this one) consistently. I’d say it’s well worth adding to your routine, and of all the budget brands I’ve tried, this one is my favourite so far.
