Can I add niacinamide along with the hyaluronic acid ?
What is the dosage of HA that we should not exceed in a product.
Thank you so much for this video! Very well done.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Swati, this was comprehensive.
Thank you!
So what do you think of HA in makeup products? Like the Loreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum? I’ve heard it’s a really good lightweight base that contains skincare. I really wanted it but Idk so much anymore 😭
I am okay with some HA. I just don't recommend HA serum then HA moisturizer then HA sunscreen then HA make up, you get the point. Usually for make up application, always use a moisturizer or sunscreen (if morning) underneath. Then you can use the make up on top. And if you try the Loreal HA tinted serum and it doesn't dry you out after a few weeks of using it, then that's fine!
I just bought a hair colouring with HA. Is it safe to use to colour my hair.
Thank you so much for the information
My pleasure
I really appreciate you taking your time to answer every possible comment and help as manybpeople as possible.. you're really doing a great job out there👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕
You are so welcome!
Thank you. This is very helpful. I have a sensitive and extremely dry skin type. I also have PCOS which causes acne and excessive hair growth so I have a host of issues. Trying to avoid any extra additives that may make my skin and hormones worse.
I try to keep my skincare routine as “natural” as possible. My goal is to correct hyperpigmentation and hydrate my skin. My current routine is 1) witch hazel toner- Thayers, 2) organic hyaluronic acid serum by satin naturel, and 3) aloe vera gel (stem cell & Manuka honey infused) by Being Naturals every evening after face wash. I also use vitamin c serum by Éclat 3 nights per week.
Would you recommend doing anything different? Or using oil instead of the aloe vera? If so, would you recommend any face oils (that don’t promote hair growth)?
Thank you for watching! I usually don't recommend witch hazel as it can be irritating for most skin types. Certain ingredients like licorice are natural and helpful for discoloration. I am also not aware of benefits of aloe vera for discoloration. But if it is helpful go for it!
I'm not a doctor but Witch hazel completely destroyed mine . I'm brown skin , dry & sensitive and a bit of rosecea . I used paula's choice toner since a year ago , it does wonder !! If you are skin of colour incase I highly recommend Dr Vanita Rattan videos on what to incorporate and what not , she formulate ingredients herself , she's awesome .
I have the same issue dark skin but PCOS and facial hair. I started using good molecules… I love their hyaluronic acid essence, discoloration serum and lightweight moisturizer and native brand sunscreen. At night I use the ordinary mandalic acid 2x a week … and discoloration serum on the other nights . Also I never go without sunscreen during the day. Period!!!!
I haven't started any skin care routine yet and my skin is very dull..can i please get the answers for few of my questions, it'd be a great help🙏🏻
1- should i use a cerave or cetaphil face wash (have heard greatly about those two but isn't sure)
2- is dr Rachel vitamin c face serum good?? Because its very cheap and affordable, I'm afraid that it might have harmful ingredient or should i buy another brands face serum
3- can i use hyloraunic acid after these two processes and is it compulsory to use a moisturiser after it or can i simple buy one with moisturiser in it(can u please recommend the better option) and if im using a seperate moisturiser should vitamin c serum also be included in the routine
4- may i know why the skin colour of my body are very different the upper part of my body is fair and the lower part is dark, is there a specific reason and how to get even skintone.
Sorry for the huge list of questions😔
Hi. 1. Yo can use either, it's really a personal choice on which one you like. 2. I haven't heard of that Vitamin C so not too familiar with it 3. You can simply buy a moisturizer. You don't need a separate HA. 4. There's normal variation in brown skin. It's not possible to have one skin tone from head to toe. None of us have that.
Excellent video, very well explained
Thank you!
I have been using an HA sunscreen every morning for 2 months now and I have not had a break out since, like with other products I had been using. I think it has been great for me and having the lightweight and non-greasy sunscreen has been a revolution for me in my skin care routine. Isntree is the brand, purchased on Amazon.
That's great!
What do you think of people making their own serum? I recently started purchasing the ingredients to do this. Also, would love to hear your thoughts on microneedling at home to help the HA absorb?
Hi, I don’t recommend making serums at home. Ingredients are important but often the formulation is more important. That is done by a cosmetic chemist. I’ like the stamping micro needling but not the dermaroller as this often drags the skin. Usually damp skin is enough for HA absorption.
Have a question! For someone with an oily
Skin, would still advise the use of Vaseline or Aquaphor? And does it clog pores ??? And the risk of acne and flare up?? Please address! Thanks
Technically vaseline and aquaphor are non-comedogenic meaning they don't clog pores. But in oily skin, I don't always recommend using ointments. You can use ointment on the dry areas but not to the entire face. There's a risk, in my opinion, that Vaseline or aquaphor may flare acne in acne prone and oily skin.
I use rosewater after washing my face with a mild soap. Is this concidered a toner? Can i leave my face wet with rosewater and apply the HA?Olive skin.
My moisturizer contains retinol .it says use twice a day but i started using it at night only and a different korean snail moisturizer in the morning . Also i m thinking of starting tretinoin twice a week at night .
What do you think i should do ?
Rose water is a good toner actually as it's anti-inflammatory. You can use HA on damp skin after rose water. And moisturizer with retinoid can be used 2-3x a week initially. I think you're doing a good job with your routine as long as it's addressing your concerns.
Daily after Dermatica Vit C Serum I use Dermatica HA Pure Serum followed by Sunscreen, No moisturiser , is it safe or what change I can do in my routine ?
You can put HA serum on damp skin. Let it soak in. Then vitamin c serum. Then moisturizer and sunscreen on top. Don’t skimp on the moisturizer
People need to see what its made of ewl!!!
This was soo helpful Tks
Glad it was helpful :)
Mam..my dermatologist recommend "Fillin HA SERUM " ..IM under isotrotretion treatment ..oil acne prne skin...can u recommed other affortable brand instead of it
I give recommendations in this video for HA serums. But I only know US-available products.
As a DR what about for medical needs like Osteoarthritis
At 4:22, and I'm guessing big molecules of HA that are applied wet and then dry while sitting on top of the skin will suck moisture out of our dermis to attempt to again find complete hydration for the HA big molecule?
Yes the larger HA molecules that doesn't penetrate the skin will draw moisturize out.
Very Well Explained.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! Doc is that okey if I use HA with serum first with damp skin and then add 3 drops of HA in moisturizer nivea, then I apply to my face is that okey, and I used 3x a week? Please! answer me. Thank you! ❤
Hey you don't need to use it separately plus in a moisturizer. Just apply the serum on damp skin and then use your moisturizer on top.
Hey doc , I am vegan with acne prone skin and need to take vitamin b12 supplements but they tend to cause acne. What dosage and what form of b12 ( Methylcobalamin/hydroxocobalamin/cyanocobalamin) do not trigger acne and is safe to take?
To my knowledge, Vitamin B12 doesn't trigger acne. Biotin, another form of vitamin B, can trigger acne in high dose.
The daily recommended dose for vitamin B 12 is 2.4 micrograms for adults, per USA guidelines. I recommend seeing your doctor first, assessing for any vitamin deficiencies and asking for recommendations.
@@drswatikannan thanks for the reply ma'am
When I use HA on a damp face with a moisturisor I get this white residue on my hand - what am I doing wrong?
I’m not sure. Could be the combination of the products together giving you the residue. Make sure to also let the HA dry completely before applying moisturizer on top.
Why not to use the HA every day? Even if it's used properly otherwise? Would using a facial oil work as the occlusive top layer to seal in everything? Thanks.
You can use HA daily in moisturizers. If you use HA serum daily with moisturizers on top, then that can seal it. But in many people it can cause dryness to use HA serums daily. Everyone is different.
Is the vichy hyaluronic acid good ? I was reading good things about it?
Yes it's good.
Hello doctor! I just started using Neutrogena Hydro Boost HA Water Gel on damp skin in the morning. How is this HA water gel compared to HA serum? Is it safe to use it everyday? Does it work as moisturizer already, or do I need to apply moisturizer after it? I would really appreciate your answer. Thank you!
Hi the water gel is great. I like it almost better than serums as it's moisturizing on its own since it contains other moisturizing ingredients.
@@drswatikannan Thanks for replying, Doctor! 🙌
My routine is toner, serum/acid, moisturizer. So how do i apply HA on damp skin?
You let the toner dry. Then damp skin for HA serum. Or Alternate between toner and HA every other days
Mam can u please suggest........ Can i apply niacinamide and peptides twice a day i.e. morning and evening daily?
you can yes as long as you don't have irritation
How do you remove a serum HA ? My face is too plumpy over 1 month, I don't get out of the skin surface
Hyaluronic acid doesn't tend to stay in your skin like that. You can stop using it and over time any effects from it would go away.
How much time?I used the ordinary HA serum
Hi Dr Kannan,
Just watched your video above and a bit worried as been using Isntree hyaluronic acid moist cream for the past week or so daily, I have rosecea/dry skin type and it seems to be tolerating it well but just wondering what your thoughts were on this product?
Thanks in advance, Scott
Hey I like that product based on what I've heard of Isntree in general but haven't tried it myself. If you are tolerating it well without issues, then continue it.
Verryyyyyy educational thank u
Glad it was helpful!
Hyaluronic acid under eye serum hollowness eye ko reduce krta. Hai
how we can use hyaluronic acid with tretinoin cream ?
Use HA on damp skin, wait a minute and then apply tretinoin
Please do a video on HA+microneedling
Will do. Thank you!
HA till I die! Lol! I love it. But I've been using it properly as well.
Could you please suggest whether hyalugel is good or not... It's really affordable... But can i use it everyday at night?
I haven't used that brand yet. If it doesn't dry out your skin, then it's fine. I dont recommend HA daily tho so probably 3x a week is good.
@@drswatikannan thanku so much mam...
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a polysaccharide found in the extracellular matrix of vertebrate epithelial, neural and connective tissues. Due to the high moisture retention, biocompatibility and viscoelasticity properties of this polymer, HA has become an important component of major pharmaceutical, biomedical and cosmetic products with high commercial value worldwide. Currently, large scale production of HA involves extraction from animal tissues as well as the use of bacterial expression systems in Streptococci. However, due to concerns over safety, alternative sources of HA have been pursued which include the use of endotoxin-free microorganisms such as Bacilli and Escherichia coli. In this review, we explore current knowledge of biosynthetic enzymes that produce HA, how these systems have been used commercially to produce HA and how the challenges of producing HA cheaply and safely are being addressed. THIS CAME FROM PUBMED..............I am an RN (30 yrs) (Plus a degree in Chemistry and an MFA) Hyaluronic acid does not have a lower pH, it actually has a slightly highr one than say, Glycolic or Mandelic or Lactic Acid. However it sucks up - per dry crystal- close to 1,000 time its weight in H20. So a serum of basically Hyaluronic Acid and Water (pH around 6-9) is not acidic enough to exfoliate but as the water content leaves your skin through the day it actually dehydrates your skin and makes it look , well , older, which if you have dry skin use an emoliant or moisture barrier over the serum a few minutes after you apply. If you have oily skin, you pretty much just spent money for no real result, may have no skin plumping. Hyaluronic Acid HAS NO PROVEN ANTI AGING BENEFITS but if you wash, apply, moisturize, you will look better for a few hours and its not toxic. So, its a good thing for a lot of people, I buy it raw and make a serum for co-workers.
Kindly suggest me a retionol brand. 28 yrs with normal skin
I have a video on this: th-cam.com/video/aiV9qNOfiDI/w-d-xo.html
I'm using ha serum in right way but loreal ha serum doesn't seem to work for me.. What would you suggest. I have dry skin with oily sensitive T-zone prone to sebhorrhic dermatitis. If I get my condition under control which ha serum would you suggest for me?
I have products recommendations in this video. It's a personal decision on what you want to try. And it takes several sometimes to figure out which one you like and which one you dont.
Hello maam, i have been using loreal hyaluronic acid serum since few days i have dry + sensitive skin. Is there any side effects ? Can i continue using it or stop? Even i feel my skin becomes dry after using this serum after applying moisturizer it feels better. And how many times in a week should we use it for dry skin please reply maam 🥹
I usually recommend hA serum 2-3x a week with moisturizer on top.
@@drswatikannan ok thank you 🥰
I was using HA serum from Ordinary for a few weeks and my skin now is more dry than ever, new wrinkles under eyes. I was shocked. I was applying serum after washing face while it's still wet, putting on a moisturizer - it dod not help! I will not use it anymore. Thank You for this video.💕
Glad it was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Same!
It's happening to me too but I am using hada labo original hydrolonic acid
This happened because you may live in a dry area or You didn't use perfect dose of hyaluronic acid !
W/ glycerin haven’t had any drying problems.
Yes that’s bc glycerin is a great humectant - better than HA
Can we use hylorinic acid twice a day
I don't recommend that. Just once daily on damp skin.
Why not do microneedling every 2 months and use LMW HA serum on the face immediately after maybe 1-2 days during recovery time
The channels after Microneedling close pretty quickly. So sure you can apply LMWHA immediately after microneedling, but there isn't evidence that builds Hyaluronic acid in the skin.
i stay in ac i should use low molecular hyaluronic or high molecular
The video talks about the two types. It depends on your skin type and what effects you want. I usually recommend a formulation with both. Video has product recs.
What you suggest for my oily skin..
A skincare regimen with retinoid at nighttime
Does HA increases facial hair growth?
Nope!
What about HA supplements?
No evidence that works.
can i use ordinary ha serum
If you like it yes.
is it safe to use it under eyes?
If it's in a nice cream or eye cream, I think it's fine. I personally dont prefer too much HA serum by it self under the eyes.
My skin has lost all glow and become very dry after using hada labo gokujyun few months .. My skin looks old now 😭😭 even though i use it on damp skin.. anything that i am doing wrong??
I am not sure what you're using. I am not familiar with Indian skincare products as I am US-based. But if you dont like it, switch to something else.
@@drswatikannan I am using original Hada labo which is a Japanese product . It has 5 type of HA in it. It's working for me now when I have started using it on wet face rather than damp.. as per my research I did move to a dry place with hard water in recent months so that might be reason why damp skin was not working.. My skin is back in few weeks now after using on wet skin 😊😊. Thanks for replying thought 😊
@@archanakumar740 That's awesome. In general I am a fan of japanese skincare. And using HA on damp skin with moisturizer on top is key.
I want to know, genuinely, what brand dermatologists use on their skin. I’ve only met ONE whose skin wasn’t gorgeous and she was exclusively a hair dermatologist lol.
We all use different brands of skincare as no one brand has it all. I have a video on my morning and nighttime skincare routine.
They all use Neutrogena it is the only one
Mam I use hyaluronic acid from one month can it continue its effect are temporary or permanent
It can help to moisturize as the video suggests esp if paired with other ingredients.
Which hyaluronic acid do you use
Hyaluronic acid under eye serum hepl of hollowness eye reduce of help
I don't think HA serums truly help for under eye tear troughs.
Very clearly explained the things
Just wanted to know if it can be used on acne prone skin ?
I would like you to tell about this serum - L’Oréal Paris revitalift HA light weight serum
I believe it contains both low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. If you like it, continue using it.
That means HA can be used on acne prone skin too ?
I use ha pure serum .
Can i use it daily ? These are the ingredients:
Water, Rose Water, Glycerin, Adansonia, Digitata Pulp Extract, Hibiscus Sabdraiffa Flower Extract, Propylene Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, Methyl Chloroisothiazolinine, Methylisothiazolinine, Vit A, Vit C, Vit E, Vit F, Palmaria Palmata, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Niacinammide
If you don't have irritation or issues, then you can use it
I am from India di. How to get clear skin And PL tell something where we can use regularly basis. People's are spending money on skin too much. I want simple skin care routine. Simple natural or except moisturizer. Something good.
I have a video on how to create a simple skincare routine: th-cam.com/video/igeu7W7NChc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=k_HCVHGFgnutbKCr

thank you!

Hi Doc, I recently bought Vit C serum, hyaluronic Acid and Retinol serum
In which Retinol serum is using 3 times a week
Vit C serum daily morning
Hyaluronic acid twice weekly
Is this routine enough or should I make any change in these ?
If it works for you, the routine sounds good!
@@drswatikannan Thank you doc 😌
Just sitting here
Oh yeah $39 for HA being a really great price point. Lol! If you're on a Doctors salary.
Which serum is perfect for night shift worker
Any HA serum you can tolerate is fine. Just use it on damp skin.
Can I add niacinamide along with the hyaluronic acid ?
sure.
Can I add niacinamide along with the hyaluronic acid ?
Yes
