My Current Skincare Routine: Step 5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum (Elizavecca Piggy Hell Pore Control Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum)

Step 5: Elizavecca Piggy Hell Pore Control Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum

This Korean hyaluronic acid is one of the most affordable and effective options for hyaluronic acid serums. In my opinion, no one really needs to pay anymore than this amount of money for a good hyaluronic acid serum. As all hyaluronic acid serums are supposed to be–due to the fact that they contain hyaluronic acid (which is a type of chemical naturally occurring in your skin and body), a molecule and humectant that is supposed to be able to maintain 1000 times its weight in water — the serum is very moisturizing, thick, and the dropper easily dispenses a lot of product making it very easy and affordable to dispense liberally and generously as much as you want it of it all over your face and neck. It’s also quite gentle making it pretty safe for sensitive skin.

In Short: I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! As with all serums, I pour them from the dropper onto my palms and fingers and gently rub them all over my face and neck, then gently pat them repeatedly with my fingertips to help them absorb into my skin. This is a gentle K-beauty skincare layering technique that will help your skin absorb all the layers of goodness and ingredients you put on it.

This product also happens to be a K-beauty cult favorite/staple item and very hyped up, if that type of thing happens to matter to you.

My Affordability Grade: Very Fucking Affordable – Most people/Pretty much everyone should be able to afford this into their skincare routine

Where to get it the cheapest: Amazon

Current Price (as of when this blog post was posted): $7.70

Tips About Using Hyaluronic Acid Serums: You should generally make sure you have some sort of liquid on your face before you apply your hyaluronic acid serum, because the nature of hyaluronic acid means it draws moisture from the air and other things around it, which is why it’s so moisturizing. For some people this means something pretty extreme like keeping their face wet after washing their face. I actually think that’s unnecessary, a simple toner should be fine. Whatever you put on your face after you put on your hyaluronic acid serum is supposed to be absorbed better into your skin, which is why I personally put mine on before my Vitamin C serum.

There are some ingredients in this that may make it irritating for sensitive skin but in my personal experience it was fine.
