Humectant alone may not be the best moisturizing base

What the gurus are saying

This serum's hyaluronic acid binds moisture well to the skin's surface, though experts split on whether that's the best foundation for a routine. One dermatologist praises it as a solid hydrating base, while another cautions that low molecular weight hyaluronic acid may draw water from deeper skin layers over time and could trigger inflammation in people using it constantly. Anyone with sensitive or easily inflamed skin may want to patch-test first and monitor how their skin responds with regular use.

"This is the Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Acid Serum from Laneige. She is an ambassador for the brand, but I do like this product. Hyaluronic acid helps bind moisture and keep it on top of the skin, it doesn't penetrate to deeper layers because the molecule size is too big for that, but Laneige created this as a proprietary formula with hyaluronic acid plus a special moisturizing ingredient derived from algae, which is where it gets the blue color. This is a really good hyaluronic acid product."

"The Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum is a good base for skincare, but I don't think that hyaluronic acid is the best thing to moisturize skin. It's a humectant that draws in water. Her skin looks beautiful and the proof is in the pudding, but personally I do not find that to be the best base. She is the face of the Laneige campaign, which is a conflict of interest. The serum contains low molecular weight hyaluronic acid which over time will dehydrate your skin and is actually pro-inflammatory, so over time she might actually become more inflamed if she constantly uses it."
