My thoughts exactly, but I wonder if you could get more from low molecular weight hyaluronic acid powder, dissolved in water to make a 1% solution, compared to just pure glycerin. Especially price wise.
Esthetician here. I've tried hundreds of products with HA and my skin always gets so angry, dry, clogged, red, breakouts. As soon as I go back to glycerin, my skin is perfect and dewy. Been testing this out for the last 8 years--so interesting!
I was letting the HA hate get to me. But remembering one of the products that helped me the most during my biggest atopic dermatitis flare up was a japanese toner that had basically just different forms of hyaluronic acid and some preservatives. Sometimes we turn off our brains reading all that bs on the internet. 🤦♀️
Tried the tip with cicaplast gel around my eyes and it worked 100%. The area around my eyes is much more plump and smooth 😊❤. I personally like them both either individually or in combination ❤.
The tiniest drop of LRP Cicaplast Gel spreads all over my full face after the retinoid. I' ve never tried a product with such a ratio amount-price-time🤯😍.
A Dr Dray OG sub here and RN . Everything I use now has HA. That said, I now have evolved to glycerin and squalene. My skin 6 years into this journey: clear, glassy and beautiful. No more perioral dermatitis, huge pores, occasional acne, sunspots gone, no more rosacea. All thanks to this Chanel and Dr. Dray! ❤️
To each their own, but I am on Team Glycerin. And I can’t say enough good things about the LRP cicaplast gel. Using it around my eyes and mouth has really helped me adapt to using a higher tretinoin concentration. For some reason, hyaluronic acid has never agreed with me and often left my skin feeling drier. I try to avoid it.
Dr. Dray, you SAVED my skin years ago when I watched your videos recommending using HA gel creams on top of wet skin (good old Hada Labo!) with an occlusive moisturizer on top. I've also followed your other recommendations for products and approaches throughout the years and they were life changing. The HA gel cream did wonders to help restore my skin barrier and I still use this method to this day. Some derms on UA-cam are adamant that HA is horrible, and I'm sure it doesn't work the same for everyone, but when properly used it can be very helpful. I had hoped you'd talk about glycerin vs. HA, as you are the one person I will always trust!
Same!! That gel cream and even the hada labo HA toner/essences have been a game changer and when I briefly got scared away from HA by other online people my skin was worse. Always follow Dr Dray!
In addition to using glycerin in skincare, for all you artists out there, ii've found for drops glycerin plus 4 drops essential oil clove bud in 4 oz distilled water, works to wet paint palettes, restore gel mediums (have recently added air brush medium for acrylic paints/inks) & spray my skin with it (not the air brush spray) when the a/c dries the air... no mold, no cracks, no flakes....
@@stephaniesmith4114 hi , there’s no particular brand , just plain glycerin, I also use it for my hair , just don’t use too much of it ,as it can dry out your skin/hair !
Dr. Dray, I used to watch different YT dermatologists, right now I narrowed it down to one, you. The way you explain how ingredients work and put research and science behind it is amazing. Thank you ❤
Same. And too many of the others just push crazy expensive products that aren’t any better than the drugstore ones Dr Dray tells us about. That’s a no for me.
i get it though, like it makes sense that people will try and figure out if something is or will be a problem for their skin if they have a history of skin problems
@@DrDrayzday- absolutely! I have some skin problems, following your keep it simple advice works for me. Double cleansing, Vanicream for my face, gold bond for my body, SPF!
Correct me if I’m wrong , but years ago you didn’t like HA. Said it would dehydrate unless you followed up with an occlusive? Not trying to shade you. I’m just confused.
Glycerin is an awesome ingredient for my skin. I 100% feel a very positive difference when using products rich in glycerin and i would love to try the new cicaplast gel!
Okay I will keep saying over and over Dr dray is the most talented intelligent dermatologist out there , I spent so much on derms in my area that never helped I started watching and listening to her and cured my acne after formally spending literally thousands on dermatologist here in SC and products that didn’t work from med spas and other stores .. I love her love you thank you Dr dray !
Glycerin >>>> HA. Anyday of the week. More effective, cheaper ingredients, and less finnicky a.k. drawing moisture from ur skin to dry air. But in the end of the day both is a fantastic ingredients to have.
I tended to favor Dr. Sheereen’s advice over Glycerin vs Hyaluronic acid. Specially in moisturizers. I have used the Cerave moisturizer in the tub but I have noticed it made my skin more dehydrated. Then I did some research and came across Dr. Shereen’s video comparing both the ingredients.
I am so glad to see this! I've heard both sides of the G vs HA argument. Personally, I enjoy both ingredients as part of my skincare regimen The funny thing Dr Dray is that from the time I started using the cicaplast gel (I don't like the baume), it just made sense to me to use it around my eyes and mouth/lips. I did this before knowing you did this and were recommending others to do the same! Works wonderfully. Between the cicaplast gel and hypochlorous facial spray, I've cleared up my eyelid eczema.
Not only is glycerin cheaper and readily available, it is also an emollient and slight occlusive (not just a humectant). Furthermore, HA dries out your skin if you live in a dry environment, having the opposite effect. Other added benefits i learnt from here: increased cell turnover, wound healing properties etc
Products with HA usually breaks me out with the exception of Vanicream daily facial moisturizer with I mostly use at night. Since hearing this comparison with glycerin, I will looking for products with that ingredient instead of HA. I will be interested to see if my skin reacts to it. Will be looking for the LP gel in particular. Sounds nice. Thanks, Dr Dray, for all of the information you so freely give to us. You're one amazing and intelligent young lady! Happy Tuesday!! I hope you have a tranquil evening. 💕
I’ve Been to a specialist and I’m allergic to glycerin, have taken years to find skin care products that I’m able to use. Gels and ointments have been helpful and always reading the labels
A huge TY to the doctor. After following a while, I adopted a simple routine of two Cerave face washes: one with SA and the other HA. Six months later my complexion is at best in many years thanks to the doc’s reviews. Been using Hydroboost for a few weeks and it’s been a great everyday moisturizer.
HA works best in more humid environments in my experience.....experience in different effects from being in japan and being in dry california weather......in california, have to use an occlusive on top of the hyaluronic acid so my skin doesnt dry out....
glycerine is waaaaaay cheaper and easy to find. I prefer glycerine as my lower layers under moisturizer. I have Hyluronic acid already in my cerave moisturizer.
I’m on accutane right now. I’m using the Cerave daily moisture lotion for normal to dry skin. I just noticed it has hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. So, no more battle for which is better. That should please both sides. 😊
They are both great ingredients! Moreover, most moisturizers have glycerin, HA, panthenol B5, and Niacinimide B3! I THINK weather, ambient humidity, and lifestyle must be taken into account. I just tend to use one active daily, like Tretenoin, for cystic ACNE, and keep the acid mantel hydrated and sealed with a heavier moisturizer and SUNSCREEN! SUNSCREEN! SUNSCREEN!💚
Interesting! These are not two chemicals I would’ve ever compared to each other. Looking forward to hearing your insights and conclusions! Thanks for the video as always :) edit: omg I was thinking glycolic acid not glycerin 😂 ok it all makes sense now
I would love to see a video on adapalene vs. retinaldhyde for the neck. Is one better than the other, does one work better on wrinkles or are they equal?
When HA became popular many years ago (I think as a result of popularity in asian skincare products) I bought a bunch of Japanese HA-based moisturizers and serums for my dry skin. They always irritated my skin like crazy so I went back to my old products. Turns out I have a sensitivity to HA- causes redness, breakouts, and swelling. I stay away from it even if it is low on the ingredient list now and have few issues. I wish it would go away and we could keep glycerin
I don't have a redness from HA, but my skin barrier is overall damaged and I got burning sensation after I used a couple of creams with HA. It completely goes away after five minutes and doesn't look like an irritation or allergy, but still really unpleasant. Cicaplast balm doesn't feels that way, so HA might be a reason of this 🤔
I live in a dry climate. HA seems to dry my skin even more and I reckon it actually draws moisture out of my skin since there’s no moisture in the air. Glycerin is better for me.
Glycerin free skincare is trendy in Japan now cause there's some research showing it can trigger acnes for some. HA is too common and can be irrirating at times. I personally go for things like Panthenol for hydration.
As long as you use ha on damp skin both are the same. Glycerin draws water from your blood supply and can be used on dry or damp skin. The best ha I’ve come across is Isntrees ha toner and ha plus toner. Their aqueous formulations are phenomenal. But honestly for the price, just go with the og hado labo line imo
My husband makes his own body wash because he gets very itchy skin. He uses glycerin, citric acid and a whole lemon except for the seed. He uses 15/20% glycerin with a blender full of lemons. 1/2 cup citric acid. It makes about 60 ounces. Since I don’t know how good it is for the skin I buy my body wash but his skin is much softer then mine
@@Miniflower25 all the reading I’m doing he makes a great body wash. The glycerin for 15% is a cup. He’s been perfecting his body wash for years and this recipe is his favorite. His is far superior to anything I’ve purchased. I compared 4 different brands to his and his skin stays baby soft. Good luck 🍀
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Informative🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
This video/topic is somewhat related to an issue I'm dealing with now, while dealing with perimenopause and treatment for AR- and PR-positive breast cancer: *whispers* vaginal dryness. I have started using a very low dose/strength of estradiol cream, but I was wondering if you could do a video on vaginal moisturizers, as there are certain ingredients (i.e. hyaluronic acid and coconut oil) that are touted as beneficial and non-irritating, while other ingredients (glycerin, parabens, phthalates) can be irritating. Kind of a niche subject, but I can't be the only one struggling with keeping my skin healthy and comfortable "down there" in middle age. Thanks!
I understand what you are going through with dryness down there. After my complete hysterectomy I became super dry. I tried so many different, more natural things, down there, but nothing worked, and some things just irritated me. My GYN prescribed me Estradiol 0.02% cream to put down there 3 times per week. It was the only thing that worked for me! And intercourse is no longer painful! I only wish I had used this all along instead of trying estrogen free stuff that did not work. A little estrogen cream won't hurt, and it will keep things healthy and pain-free where you need it most! Best wishes!
@@MeadowRose7 Oh yay! I'm so glad to hear that it worked for you. I did mention in my original post that I've started using estradiol cream, myself (0.01%). What I didn't mention was that I've been celibate for 5 years (due to a bad breakup, then being isolated as my dad's full-time caregiver). He passed away earlier this year, and I reconnected with romantically with an old friend, but it was long distance until I went to visit him in April. Intercourse ended up being so painful, and I'm sure the lack of sex all those years didn't help matters, but neither does my perimenopause, so I started using the cream a few weeks ago. I haven't - ahem - tested it out yet, but I will be seeing him again soon, soooo fingers crossed!
I live in a very dry climate and find that HA doesn’t plump my skin at all, and often does the opposite. I’m as hydrated internally as I can be. Would glycerin work better for me?
Hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the skin, but when applied on thin skin, like around the eye, it draws way too much moisture, drying the skin - thus more wrinkles. I have seen for myself what happens when you apply NIOD's hyaloronic acid on the eye area: WRINKLES GALORE! Glycerin seems much better than hyaluronic acid. SIMILARLY, melatonin on the skin protects it from UV damage, but when NIACINAMIDE, which is over-abundant in many k-beauty products, is applied to the face, this diminishes the melanin, thus reduces skin protection... MORE WRINKLES GALORE...
I don’t use HA cuz I’m in the desert and I feel like it will draw moisture out. I like the Cicaplast gel but tried it in my sensitive eyes and it bothered me. I really wanted it to work, nice consistency
PLEASE PLEASE HLEP ME. I was using your Neutrogena sensitive skin recommendation and it’s the only one that works for me. Everything else is giving me bumps and acne. Please help me. I keep getting so much irritation from everything
I use the ordinary NMF plus HA moisturiser and like it, it doesn't sting my eyes when i use it there. I also use a neutrogena sensitive skin fragrance free oil free one with glycerine but that makes my eyes sting. I like the staying power of the neutrogena one tho. The ordinary one takes a while to sink in but moisture doesn't last long
Glycerin is better, of course. Does the same job for a lot less.
My thoughts exactly, but I wonder if you could get more from low molecular weight hyaluronic acid powder, dissolved in water to make a 1% solution, compared to just pure glycerin. Especially price wise.

I wonder if that’s what has been causing my breakouts. Will have to try to glycerin see if it helps
@danny9guzz what glycerin product do you use?
I personally always loved glycerin and when it comes second place in the ingredient list it makes my skin happy.
Team glycerin here. HA dries out my skin every.single.time.
I always get irritated of there's too much HA. Hope more companies use less of it
What climate do you live in? I'm in a humid climate and it works so well for me
Me too! I thought it was just me. I look like a snake when I wear it. Glycerin makes my skin baby soft
Me too. high dose of hyaluronic acid irritates my skin, whereas glycerin keeps it soothe.
Me too! I live in a dry climate and have never had luck with HA. Especially in the winter.
HA didn't do anything for me at all now Glycerine, oh yeah baby l feel and see a difference .
I was letting the HA hate get to me. But remembering one of the products that helped me the most during my biggest atopic dermatitis flare up was a japanese toner that had basically just different forms of hyaluronic acid and some preservatives.

it is adequately moisturizing

i like HA in my serums, but looove glycerin in the upper part of the ingredient list of my moisturizers!
I’m happy to use both 🙌
when i use the cicaplast gel around the eyes it stings/itches a bit. any clue why? the cicaplast balm doesn't do that.
for me it is too slippery and as it does not penetrate but remains on the surface, it tends to migrate around the eyes and it burns .

I live in a very dry climate and find that HA doesn’t plump my skin at all, and often does the opposite. I’m as hydrated internally as I can be. Would glycerin work better for me?
Love my Altreno topped with my Cerave dupe with hyaluronic acid on face and LRP cicaplast gel on eyes! Why choose just use!
Good, I like both ❤❤
Useful discussion!
Thanks always so helpful.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the skin, but when applied on thin skin, like around the eye, it draws way too much moisture, drying the skin - thus more wrinkles. I have seen for myself what happens when you apply NIOD's hyaloronic acid on the eye area: WRINKLES GALORE! Glycerin seems much better than hyaluronic acid. SIMILARLY, melatonin on the skin protects it from UV damage, but when NIACINAMIDE, which is over-abundant in many k-beauty products, is applied to the face, this diminishes the melanin, thus reduces skin protection... MORE WRINKLES GALORE...
So not use hyularinic acid
Hey!😊 I'm excited that I have Neutrogena coupons Karma expiring soon so I'd better shop fast
Glycerin. Doesnt dehydrate my skin in the winter like HA does.
But glycerin is a smaller molecule and so it can go down the skin better ?
@@Whatisyou-f depends on the size; Ha is actually very effective for transdermal drug delivery
I don’t use HA cuz I’m in the desert and I feel like it will draw moisture out. I like the Cicaplast gel but tried it in my sensitive eyes and it bothered me. I really wanted it to work, nice consistency
You don't put it in your eyes, just around your eyes.
Both
All HA does for my skin is irritate it! It’s very hard to find skincare products without it.
PLEASE PLEASE HLEP ME. I was using your Neutrogena sensitive skin recommendation and it’s the only one that works for me. Everything else is giving me bumps and acne. Please help me. I keep getting so much irritation from everything
Por ejemplo! 🙌🏽
off topic, can you do a video on Sunekos for dark circles?
'whoo hoo" - - classic!
I use the ordinary NMF plus HA moisturiser and like it, it doesn't sting my eyes when i use it there. I also use a neutrogena sensitive skin fragrance free oil free one with glycerine but that makes my eyes sting. I like the staying power of the neutrogena one tho. The ordinary one takes a while to sink in but moisture doesn't last long
