More Hyaluronic Acid -- A Review for Morea Hyaluronic Acid

I know I've written what feels like 100 posts on hyaluronic acid. And, lemme tell ya, it's not gonna change anytime soon, because  hyaluronic acid is way popular, and for a reason (it works!) I feel like I've become an expert in hyaluronic acid and their low, medium, and high weight molecular structures. The different textures I've experienced are wide and have varied. So, when Morea Naturals, a San Diego based company that prides itself on its eco-friendly nature, sent me a bottle of their hyaluronic acid, I was curious to see what this one had in store for me. 

First of all, this hyaluronic acid is different from any other one that I've tried because it comes in a solid white airless pump bottle (all of the others have come in a dark brown glass droplet container). See? This is what it looks like:

Hi!

Ingredients: Organic Herball Infusion, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (botanical hyaluronic acid), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Wildcrafted Camellia, Sinensis (Green Tea), Pelargonium Gravolens (Geranium Essential Oil), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate(Vitamin E), Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin

After using the serum every morning and night, before applying my moisturizer and right after toning my skin, I noticed that this serum is very lightweight and absorbs quickly. Also, it has a very nice, silky gel consistency, which I only experienced in a few of my hyaluronic acid serums. It also don't contain any fragrance, like every other hyaluronic acid I have tried. One thing to note is that the instructions for this serum is to apply it when your skin is already dry- unlike other hyaluronic acids, where they ensure that you put it on when your skin is still damp. My guess is that this may have something to do with the molecular size of the hyaluronic acid. Either way, I followed Morea's instructions and applied when dry. 

After applying my skin felt luxurious and made it easier to apply my moisturizer. I didn't experience any breakouts; however, after looking at some other reviews, it looks like those with sensitive skin have experienced some breakouts and irritation from this particular brand of hyaluronic ::Insert sad face here. Side note: I see that the product does contain geranium essential oil, which can be irritating- I'm just going to guess that maybe this is why people are breaking out from it.

Overall, I think this is a good product. The texture is great, it isn't sticky and it absorbs quickly. In addition, it has some great additional ingredients, such as green tea, vitamin c, and jojoba oil. Unfortunately, some people have experienced irritation and breakouts from this product, so maybe look for a different hyaluronic acid serum if you have uber sensitive skin. Otherwise, you can purchase this #MoreaNaturals product for $19.99 on Amazon for a 1.7 oz bottle that is sure to last quite a while.
