okay, its me again. Have another question. How would I incorporate HA into my skincare routine. Before Vit C or after. Does anyone else use it and what exactly does it do.
Thanks

Hello and welcome! I would advise to use an HA serum after your C-serum. HA serum is typically used for it moisturizing capabilities so you can probably use it in place of a moisturizer. It just depends on the serum though. I've only ever used one HA serum and it was very moisturizing, but also a bit sticky so I'd only use it at night. You definitely want to use a C-serum right after cleansing/toning so it can fully absorb. HTH!  |

| I use mine in the AM following my actives, right before my oil & moisturizer. |

Well that was darn fast. Thanks.
So, you think I won't need a moisturizer over the ha. I don't use vit.c at night, so thats no problem. I guess I could use it under? my jojoba oil or camellia oil. Would I use it under my stimucoll eye cream too? I know, lots of question. I just want to make sure I am doing things right. Thank you |

It really depends on if the HA serum is moisturizing enough, some are and some aren't. If you feel you need a moisturizer on top, then go right ahead. I would just make sure you use it after any "actives" so that they can absorb first.
As far as the jojoba/camellia, I recommend using either of the two at night as a moisturizer. They can be a bit greasy looking for daytime use, at least on me. I bought the camellia since it's supposed to help smooth skin, but I actually prefer jojoba instead. It balances/moisturizes my skin better and I tend to get minor break outs from the camellia, although I'm the only one I know of that has had this problem. Jojoba is also easier to spread and absorbs better. It also keeps the breakouts away! |

| Thanks for the reply. I will try the jojoba tonight, but now I'm confused as to what to use at day. |

| If your skin is moisturized from the oils and vit c you use, you really don't need to add HA to your routine. Just my 2 cents. |

Agreed! If anything I would use a daytime moisturizer instead of another serum. But that's only if you need it. |

| i have been using the camelia oil or emu oil after my vitamin c (day) and retinol (night) and then putting on a moisturizer on top (as I am dry). Is this the right sequence or should I put everything on first, including my moisturizer and then add the camelia oil or emu oil. |

The camellia oil/emu oil should really be enough in the way of a moisturizer, but if you want to add one, then I'd add it on top of the camellia/emu. At least that would be my personal preference. |
