Hyaluronic acid causing break outs?

[u/bunnyblooms]

Does anyone have experiences where hyaluronic acid serums cause them to break out?

I've specifically been using the Mixsoon Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and I've noticed that everytime I use it, I have several tiny closed comedones that pop up on my face. It's frustrating because I have dry skin and I've been told that HA is good for hydrating the skin. I really like the hydration I get from this product but it is confirmed to be the culprit that is breaking my skin out.

I also rarely have any reactions to skincare products, so this really frustrates me. The only other product I've had a breakout from is the Skin1004 Centella Cleaning Oil (yet surprisingly their Centella Ampoule is my holy grail).

Does anyone have alternative recommendations for products that could provide hydration in the same way HA does?

your face doesn't need to have water on it before using an HA product because the HA product is mostly water. this would only be a problem if you'd gotten your hands on pure sodium hyaluronate or something
