Budget-friendly alternative to The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. The texture is a light cream, suitable for oily skin because it’s water-based
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Face Moisturizer Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid, 1.7 oz
The best sunscreen I’ve tried yet. It also comes in tinted options with three colors available. It feels light, doesn’t leave a white cast, and skin doesn’t get shiny
Fusion Water Magic SPF 40 Sunscreen with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E - ISDIN | Sephora
