The Best Hyaluronic Acid Serums for Extremely Dry Skin

On top of giving your skin a big splash of moisture, Vichy's mineral water-rich HA serum protects skin from stress and signs of aging caused by pollution. 

Boost your skin's natural HA levels with PCA Skin's serum. It's formulated with a brand-exclusive HA-Pro Complex that encourages skin to produce its own HA for long-term hydration and anti-aging. 

Dry skin and fine lines are no match for L'Oréal's derm-approved serum. With a high concentration of HA, a few drops of it in your morning and evening routines is the fast-track to smooth, plump, and supple skin.

While Neutrogena's HA is super hydrating, it absorbs quickly into skin, so it wears well under makeup. 

From celebrities to beauty editors, Dr. Barbara Sturm's line gets some serious love. While all of her products get rave reviews, the Hyaluronic Serum is one product that, as a beauty editor, I always get asked about. What makes it worth the hype is that it's formulated with long- and short-chain HA molecules. The long-chain intensely moisturize and plump fine lines, while the short-chain penetrates the skin's deeper layers. To put it in language that doesn't belong in a science textbook: You'll see an instant improvement in any dryness and fine lines, while getting hydration at all levels. 

While many hyaluronic acid serums are watery liquids, Drunk Elephant's is a gel. This thicker texture makes easy to evenly apply it on your face and waste less product. On top of hydrating HA, a cocktail of lentil, watermelon, and apple extracts improve texture and tone for that coveted fresh glow we're all after. 

If the firming and plumping qualities of every HA serum you've tried have made your face feel tight, this Allies of Skin bottle is the one that belongs in your skincare routine. Thanks to HA, strawberry fruit and resveratrol ferment extracts, the serum hydrates, brightens, and reduces inflammation so that skin is smooth and soft without feeling taut.  

This serum is formulated with different-sized HA molecules so that your skin gets multi-level hydration. Vitamin B5 moisturizes skin on a surface level, plus softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Sounds pretty good for just $7 a bottle, right?
