I bought this after doing research about maskne and talking to a girl at my local Shoppers Drug Mart. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can help with maskne when you suffer from dry skin. Within a few uses the acne that I kept getting on my chin from wearing my medical grade masks at work almost totally vanished. In fact, I didnt apply it before wearing my mask one short shift and by bed time I had a breakout on my chin. So I think needless to say, it helps retain moisture and create a barrier of moisture on the skin super well especially when having to wear a mask for prolonged periods of time.
I try to avoid anything withe fragrance/perfume and I should have smelt this serum first or read the ingredients. It has a VERY strong fragrance. I have gotten a bit used to it. I only apply the product before putting my mask on at work and I apply it sparingly to my cheeks, nose, and chin. Due to this, even though the product itself is great, I probably wont buy it again.
