    good but not life changing

    I really like it! Per the advice of Chatgpt, I apply this to damp skin right after cleansing and I've noticed a difference in my skins moisture retention! I have pretty sensitive skin and I'm acne prone.

    Non-Irritating and Non-Comedogenic Serum Boosts Hy

    This serum is very soothing and moisturizing. And it absorbs well. The ingredients have three essential ceramides, hydraulic acid and vitamin B5. This does not make you break out, and it adds the extra moisture you need for under your facial moisturizer.

    Great

    I've been using the CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a few weeks now, and it's become a really easy product to reach for in my routine. The texture is lightweight and silky, and it spreads effortlessly across my skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or greasy feeling, which I really appreciate. As soon as I apply it, my skin feels more hydrated and comfortable. On days when my face feels tight or dry, this gives an instant plumping effect and makes my skin look smoother. When I use it at night, I wake up with skin that still feels soft and moisturized rather than dry. I like that it's fragrance-free and gentle. My skin can be sensitive, and this serum hasn't caused any irritation, redness, or stinging at all. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen, and I haven't had any issues with makeup pilling on top of it. Overall, it's a simple but effective hydrating serum that does exactly what I want it to do. It doesn't feel heavy, it works well with the rest of my skincare, and it keeps my skin feeling balanced and hydrated throughout the day.

    A reliable, everyday serum for long-lasting hydrat

    I’ve been using this serum daily and it has made a noticeable difference in how hydrated and smooth my skin feels. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy feeling. It works great under moisturizer and makeup, keeping my skin feeling fresh and comfortable throughout the day. I also appreciate that it’s gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. After consistent use, my skin looks more plump and less dry, especially during colder or drier days.

    Minimal changes but does hydrate

    Dispenses easily. Product is the consistency of a light lotion. It was definitely hydrating when first applied. Did not leave your skin feeling sticky and there was no shine to it. It is also unscented. 4/5 because i saw minimal changes in my skins hydration after a month of use

    Perfect at night before night cream

    Recently changed my skincare routine on dermatologist recommendation due to sensitive skin. Switched away from retinols to this - love how it works with my sensitive skin. Effective but gentler. Use in the evening, alongside the ceraVe spf 30 in the morning.

    Bigger package would be more effective

    It is effective, I do use it every night and after every face wash. I also have to apply a few coats to fully feel moisturized and so you can’t see the dry skin. There’s no scent and my skin is very sensitive, it doesn’t cause redness or itchiness. In fact, if I forget to moisturize and my face gets red, it helps get rid of it after a few days. I wish the bottle was bigger because I usually have to apply a few layers at once.

    More Cream Than Serum, But Super Hydrating

    This product has been a lifesaver for my extra dry winter skin, especially while I’m on Accutane. My skin has been feeling tight, flaky, and sensitive, and this adds an immediate boost of hydration that actually lasts. That said, it’s not really a serum texture, it feels more like a lightweight cream, which I wasn’t expecting based on the name. Once I adjusted my expectations, I actually really liked how nourishing it feels. It absorbs well, layers nicely under moisturizer, and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. I do notice a slight stinging sensation right after applying, which I assume is due to my compromised skin barrier, but it fades quickly and hasn’t caused redness or irritation afterward. The only downside is the size. The bottle is very small, and with how often I’m reaching for it, I know I’ll go through it quickly. For that reason alone, I’m taking off one star. Overall, it’s a great hydrating product for sensitive, dry, or acne-treatment skin, and I’ll likely repurchase — I just wish it came in a larger size.

    Makes skin drier

    I wanted to like this but it underperformed in every way. My skin always felt drier after use, and for the price I feel ripped off. So many other better HA options out there, plus the bottle size is deceivingly small.

    Fine

    Helped with hydration but very minimally. Didn’t have a serum like texture at all, it felt like applying a normal moisturizer on. I’ve tried better hyaluronic acid serums that were cheaper, options like the ordinary and the inkey list do it better.
