"I used to apply a high-grade version of hyaluronic acid topically to my face, but the molecules were large, making it difficult for them to absorb into my skin. Today, smaller molecules of high-grade hyaluronic acid with better topical absorption capabilities can be found in over-the-counter products, including this gel cream which I apply nightly. Bonus: Its hydrating properties curb the irritation caused by retinols," Dr. Rachel Nazarian, M.D., says of Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Gel Moisturizer.
