Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the most hydrophilic molecules in nature as it holds 1,000 times its weight in water. What does this mean? It means that HA loves water. Skin hydration preserves its integrity and cell function while minimizing inflammation. The HA brings the much needed water to hydrate collagen and elastin fibers. Well-hydrated collagen and elastin resist tensions and stretch forces. HA in skincare products provides good stratum corneum hydration (Happy skin).
UP TO HERE THIS IS THE BASICS ... NOW I AM GOING TO REVIEW THE PRODUCT AT THE SAME TIME HOW I THINK IT IS THE WAY TO OBTAIN BEST RESULTS. LET'S SEE
THE PRODUCT says first that it's a night product and also it's a combination of "hyaluronic acid (HA) and antioxidants". We already know that HA is a layer that settles on the top of our skin and prevents losing water from our skin into the environment and the vitamins are absorbed while we sleep. So in my honest opinion this product works as a slug. What does this mean? Slug, slugging means slathering the face at night with a heavy occlusive moisturizer. (You have probably seen this lady wearing hair rollers, white face full of cream (slugging) and two cucumber slices over their eyes). Intense or heavy moisturizers are another weapon to prevent aging. So, why slugging at night? to prevent skin dehydration because at night our skin is more prone to lose water and has the lowest capacity for barrier recovery...therefore this product traps water in the skin which results also in other benefits such as decrease inflammation, improve repair while minimizing damage. WHEN DO I ADD THIS PRODUCT TO MY SKINCARE ROUTINE? When my skin is feeling tight. After chemical peels, after skiing, after hiking, after being exposed to dry places, after going camping in the summer. I'm going to use this that way and before applying the cream I'm going to put on a layer of vitamin C or E serum. HOW DO I FELT THE NEXT DAY? My skin felt a bit oily and that is due to the HA on the top of my skin, but after I cleansing my face it is well and hydrated. WHAT'S MY OPINION OF THE TEXTURE? It is different as a combination of petroleum jelly and cream, also it's easy to rub on the skin.
KEEP IN MIND: As we age, synthesis of hyaluronic acid (HA)decreases while its degradation increases resulting in a net loss of HA that may start as early as during our 20s. By our 40s-50s we had lost almost half of our endogenous HA resulting in skin dehydration, inflammation and increased fragility of collagen and elastin fibers.

FACTS 1.-HA declines as we age. 2-The first pharmaceutical-grade HA was produced in 1979 from rooster combs and human umbilical cords 3.- Dehydrated skin triggers inflammation which increases blood circulation to the affected tissue, hence redness.
THE PRODUCT: I liked it. It's lightweight and blends well with my sunscreen. I have sensitive skin and I had no problems at all. I don't understand why it comes with little blue dots. A good idea is try to moisten your fingers with water a little before applying the serum. The serum contains hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and vitamin B5 to help dry skin.
I received Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum from Chickadvisor for free to try out and review.
