I have been a huuuge lover of HA since I started using it. I also use the La Roche Posay. I have super sensitive skin and it loves it. I live in a very dry climate (not DC), and it's been a life saver. I use their sensitive cream right after, and alternate nights with retinol. My skin is the best it's been in years. I'm a fan girl for life.

I am highly allergic to HA. If you think it’s breaking your skin out, don’t gas light yourself.

OP here. Thanks so much for the feedback. I think I would be best off by skipping HA and find another solution. My skin is already so dry this Fall that I don't want to risk more redness and irritation.

I have crazy sensitive skin and HA is just a goo, not irritating.

HA is actually not an acid, it's a humectant and helps you retain moisture in your skin. It shouldn't be irritating. it's likely something else in the product that is irritating you.

Yes skinceuticals is excellent.

Good Molecules has excellent reviews

+1 I've been really happy with this HA. My skin isn't irritated at all.

I like the Cerave cream one from the drugstore.

That said, food for thought at the link below - HA is a bit overrated (again I still use it sometimes, but this might explain a bit why you are getting irritated).

Straight up hydrating creams or lotions will be better for dry skin. HA is more for temporary plumping. And it is in everything!

Super expensive, but the HA from SkinCeuticals with vitamin B is incredible. It’s the only one that doesn’t break me out or irritate me.

You need to figure out which ingredient is being combined with the hyaluronic acid that is causing your irritation.

Any recommendations? I usually use The Ordinary serums, but their hyaluronic acid is just too irritating despite the price point being best for my budget

Anything that’s not terribly expensive yet still effective?
