• Glazed donut skin

  Dana [Adore Beauty Staff] a month ago She may be exxy but wow is she worth it. If you want that dewy, fresh, plump, bouncy, glazed donut-looking skin this baby is a must. Glides on like a dream, smells divine and leaves skin with the most beautiful glow. A standout.

• This is what holy grail means

  I once tried using another HA serum, telling myself maybe this isn't that good. I was wrong. This was actually my first ever HA serum and there is no going back from it. This is hydrating, soothing, plumping and feels like velvet on the skin. This is like ordering your skin a sparkling water with lemon, yes its thirst quenching, but its also better than everyone else.

• The product I didn’t know I needed

  I was recommended this by a dermal therapist and at the time was booked in for a laser treatment to reduce redness on my face. After a few weeks of using this my therapist said I didn’t need that particular treatment anymore. My skin just looks so much healthier, even textured and less pigmentation.

• Love it!

  Amazing product! Cannot live without. I was skeptical but it blew my Cosmedix serum out of the water. Gives me such a great glow and hydration! I use it every night on damp skin before my moisturiser/eye cream. I have combo/acne prone skin. I noticed a huge difference when I started using it. Will be repurchasing when it runs out! It’s expensive but I only use one pump and it’s lasted four mon... Read More

• Very nice but too pricey

  Initially when I received it I really liked the way it made my skin glowey and plump. However, i found I used the whole lot a lot quicker than I was expecting and for the high price tag I found this very disappointing. Also the smell isn't overly pleasant. Would only buy again and a treat not a regular addition to my regime.

• Feels like silk

  This serum literally feels like you're applying silk to your face. It's so smoothing on the skin. It is a pricier serum but I'd definitely recommend trying it at least once! It's consistency is thicker than your normal serum so I'd prefer to use it in the cooler winter months and I felt like it was just a bit thick for me and my skin type [oily/combo] in Summer. For me, I prefer the PCA Hydrating ... Read More

• Best product ever

  This is honestly worth the money. It literally feels like silk as it goes on and leaves your skin smooth and hydrated all day. A little goes a long way.

• Worth every cent

  I noticed a massive change to the texture & hydration of my skin using this - it's so smooth. I finished the bottle & decided to try another recommended & expensive HA serum & instantly regretted not using this. My skin went back to dry & textured when I removed this from my routine. It might be on the expensive side but it's worth the price when you see results. Repurchased again!

• Love it!

  Wow, this is the creme de la creme of hyaluronic acid serums. I've used a few brands and despite the somewhat hefty price tag this has got to be my all time fave, delivering on everything it's supposed to. Dryness and dullness be gone!

• Bougee Bliss

  OMG so good. This serum glides on like silk. It completely soaks into the skin. You can tell its a much better product than cheaper alternatives. Hoping this will last me a while due to the price tag, however will definitely be repurchasing. It will be too hard to go back to other products. LOVE.

• Wow..

  Yes it’s expensive, but this is the most amazing serum I’ve ever used. I have dry skin and when I say dry, I mean dry. I have tried 100 different skincare brands and can never find something that really just fits. This is a holy grail product. I can use this as moisturiser, it’s that hydrating but not greasy. I just love it.. please never change the formula.

• Nice serum

  A nice serum which leaves skin hydrated and soft . It is quite thick for a serum. I was happy with my results but based on price I probably wouldn’t purchase again

• Beautiful serum

  Suuuuuuch a nice serum. Super hydrating. It’s obviously expensive but it lasts quite awhile and it’s life changing!

• Goes on like silk

  It's the best HA serum I've ever used. Not only it hydrates your skin like heaven it also teaches your own skin to produce more HA. Revolutionary if you ask me. And it honestly feels like a silk veil on my face.

• Soft, plump skim

  I love this product you only need a small amount. It makes my skin feel so soft and helps plumps out any fine lines since using this my skin looks more hydrated and youthful.

• So worth the money !

  Yes this is an expensive Serum ..... but honestly if you like to look after your skin and you exfoliate twice a week this serum will work wonders for your skin . Make sure you have a good skin routine to get the value from this product. If your wearing make double cleanse to remove all traces of makeup. Exfoliate twice a week to make sure you are removing all dead skin cells giving your s... Read More

• Decent hydration but too pricey

  I found this pleasant to use and feel that it gave my skin some added hydration. However given the price range I don’t think I’ll purchase this again. I’ve found I get similar effects when I use the much mire budget friendly hyaluronic acid from the Ordinary.

• New generation serum

  It's really fascinating that this serum is supposed to boost your own HA levels overtime. I've only used it for 2 weeks so can't tell much yet but I definitely love how silky my skin feels every time I use it.

• BEST serum

  I was very skeptical about buying this product due to the price tag but I must say it is soooo worth it! Has done wonders for my skin. Love it

• Dreams are made from Hydration

  Hydrating serum with a dreamy texture. I have oily skin, so I avoid using this when the weather is really humid, as I found it to be quite tacky [even when applied on damp skin]. Down side is the cost. It's $$$, although it did last me a while [4+ months using most nights / days].

• Worth the price tag!

  This was recommended to me by a beauty therapist. At first I was unsure whether it was worth the price tag, but this product pays off. You don’t need to use much, as a little goes a long way. I have very dry skin and this was one of the very few products I’ve found that actually keeps my skin hydrated. I am about to repurchase as I am well and truly hooked! Highly recommend!

• Next level Hyaluronic Acid!

  Tresna [Adore Beauty Staff] 4 years ago Wow. I didn't think I'd love this product as much as I do. The first few weeks of using this, I really enjoyed the texture going on to my skin and the hydration it provided, but now after two months I'm really seeing the longer term benefits. I'm almost 39 and for the last year or so I've noticed a decline in the collagen and "plumpness" around my eye socks and cheekbones. I honestly ... Read More

• Silky smooth skin!

  This product makes the skin feel silky smooth. The first time I used it I couldn't stop touching my face as it hadn't felt that supple before. As other reviews mentioned, the price is the biggest downside.

• Exxxy but so nice

  This is expensive but it goes on like a dream and makes your skin look so good! Lasts ages too!

• Best On Market

  This serum gives my skin the required hydrated boost that it needs. Staple in my skincare regime, and is a must have. The best hyaluronic acid on the market, though bit on the pricey side, so use sparingly.

• Great

  This is a great serum. Very hydrating and smoothing. On the pricey side but it definitely delivers results so worth it

• Perfect Face Serum

  This is a perfect serum to balance and hydrate your skin. It is gentle and not heavy. A little goes a long way. Worth every cent.

• Great for lasting hydration

  Great for lasting hydration, I think this has made a big change to my skin. It just feels a lot less dry and is getting smoother. It's pricey, but I think good skin care is worth the investment.

• Holy cow!!! It's good

  Ok so when I put this one it felt so soft and silky on my skin. I woke up and was absolutely glowing. It's been almost two weeks and I'm really loving it. I do not get pimples but I've started getting little ones around my mouth, chin and jaw. I'm worried it's due to this serum. I'll keep using but so far overall I love it

• Results

  I haven't used this very long and i'm still pretty new to this brand but I can already see results after 3 weeks of use. This is expensive but I'm hoping that the results keep coming making it worthwhile

• good

  Visible and noticeable results by others within 2 weeks! Really hydration and no break outs on a break out prone skin.

• Love this product

  I started to use this 2 months ago. One bottle did last me the two months . I only used it once a day because of price tag . I did notice a difference, I really look after my skin and use good products , I particularly love the reviews on this site to get other people’s opinions. For me this product did improve hydration and plumpness of my skin , it certainly made it smoother ... Read More

• Didn't Meet Expectations

  I'm not sure if this made any difference to my skin at all. I didn't notice any difference when I started using it, and haven't noticed any difference in the last few weeks since I ran out. Being so expensive, I would need to see some effect to continue buying it :/ Normal skin.

• Great product but a high price

  This product makes the skin feel silky smooth. The first time I used it I couldn't stop touching my face as it hadn't felt that supple before. As other reviews mentioned, the price is the biggest downside.

• PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum

  Loving this serum so far! It really gives my skin instant hydration and leaves my skin soft and smooth

• Not worth the $$$

  I love a good serum, but unfortunately this one was a letdown. For the price [and the other reviews], I was expecting this to be next level. It didn't cause a great difference in my skin and I won't be repurchasing. Much prefer the Skinceuticals Retexturising Activator for hydration and even skin. This one just wasn't for me. [Normal/Combo skin]

• Only downside is the price

  This is by far the best hyaluronic acid I’ve used to date. It leaves the skin feeling luxuriously soft, smooth & plump. It absorbs really well & as stated, it’s only negative is the hefty price tag.

• Leaves skin feeling like silk

  I had this product in my cart for a week before I actually purchased it, I didn't want to part with the money but it's so so SO Worth it. The price tag is the only negative. I have already recommend this product to others, it leaves your skin feeling like silk, complexion brighter and clear.

• good

  nice simple serum. Moisturising but not incredibly rich. Good for acne prone skin as its not too oily.

• Luxury worth every pretty penny

  This is an amazing serum that does exactly what it claims to. I have combination skin with a very oily t-zone, this product doesn't add to that but leaves my skin feeling fresh and hydrated. Since using this I have noticed an improvement in the overall texture and feel of my skin. And a little goes a long way too with this - you don't have to slather it on to get results.

• There’s No Going Back!

  This product is absolutely and utterly amazing. My skin looks dewy, fresh and actually IS hydrated and plumped. There is nothing bad to negate anyone from being enthralled by this amazing product. I know the price is steep, but excellent skin care is the basis for your own canvas; your face. The better your skin, the better makeup looks and feels. I’ll definitely be ... Read More

So good I wish I could drink it!

Danii [Adore Beauty Staff]

5 years ago

This is not being smug but my job is to try lots of products. When I find one that is something I can't not have in my beauty arsenal, then I know I'm onto a winner. This HA Boosting Serum is like no other. Probably the best textured serum I've ever used, it's so good I joked that I wanted to drink it! It's a rich, yet light weight serum that is firmly dispensed, holds well but is spreadable and b...

Does hyaluronic acid serum really work?

Long-term use of hyaluronic acid serum on your skin or in a supplement taken by mouth can improve overall skin health. It's also great for helping improve overall skin flexibility and elasticity [meaning it makes your skin more stretchy and soft].

What does hyaluronic boost serum do?

The hyaluronic acid it contains provides intensive moisture by reacting with the skin's own keratin and forming a thin protective layer on the skin. It thus binds the moisture and builds up reserves directly under the skin's surface without clogging the pores.
