One of the most powerful hydrating ingredients out there, hyaluronic acid has quickly become a skincare go-to for women everywhere, and not just because of how intensely it moisturizes skin. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent anti-aging ingredient because the rich moisture it delivers also helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles from the skin and promote a supple texture.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is a humectant, which means it draws water to the skin and helps the skin to retain moisture. It is quite easy to find a reliable anti-aging moisturizer made with hyaluronic acid, but that’s not the only way you can bring this miracle worker into your beauty regimen. For highly concentrated results, try a serum. This way, you can deliver powerful moisturizing results to the deepest levels of your skin for noticeable results. Here are some great options to try:

Promising Review

“I am 45 years old and have tried millions of skincare products in my lifetime. This is one of the few I've found to actually makes a difference in my skin. Of course it isn't a cure for aging skin, however I did see improvement in the tone and discoloration of my skin. It's not a miracle worker but it definitely does what it claims to do!” - kelly_ny_77wp5

Promising Review

“I'm 50 menopausal, and personally love this product. I don't use all ceraVe products because I do use other products from other brands. Now, that said, I use this right out of the shower on a damp face. I've found that ANY serum no matter what it is, just works better over a damp face instead of one thats bone dry. I finish doing my other stuff while it dries down, then go in with my other face moisturizer.Never had this ball up ever under ANY moisturizer and not even under my makeup with the methods I use. Cheaper than LOTS of other options out there with fantastic results and can be used by itself under non mechanical sunscreen.” - ChickenPotPie

“My dermatologist suggested I stop paying the premium price for "high end" skin care products and switch to the Neutrogena brand. He was right. This serum has taken care of my dry skin and balanced out the oily areas. It's not greasy at all. Now I've switched to the Neutrogena brand for all skin care, hair care and make-up. Costs a lot less and is a better product. This serum is a great product.” - Amazon Customer

Promising Reviews

“So, it's Friday and I just started using the serum on Monday. Mind you, I am also trying out a derma roller at the same time. So far, I can't say I've seen a difference in wrinkles (I'm 37 and have very small, shallow ones on my forehead and around my eyes), but I have seen improvement in skin tone and softness. I was a sun worshipper through my 20s and I have sun damage on my cheeks and nose which already looks to be fading. The overall tone looks more even as well.” - Susan O
