When it comes to hydrating your skin, hyaluronic acid is the go-to for a reason. Keeping your skin moisturized can have serious anti-aging benefits, plumping your skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It does not have to cost a ton of money either. Instead, check the skincare aisle at your favorite drugstore for hyaluronic acid serums that can keep your skin looking youthful without breaking the bank.

"I have been struggling with dry, flaky skin for awhile which is new for me as I typically have oily skin. After trying multiple moisturizers, primers and exfoliators and still having dry skin I decided to try this serum. After two days my skin is no longer dry and flaky. It’s smooth and feels moisturized. The serum is not oily or greasy, it absorbs nicely. I am so glad I bought this serum and it’s a great price!!" -Target Reviewer
"With the dry winters in LA and wearing a mask often, this product has changed the game and has really helped with dryness, which i don't experience often because I have comb/oily skin. I use right after the shower for extra hydration. Also, I use retin-a from my derm. and using this serum helps with the sensitivity. 10/10." -Target Reviewer

"I used the Olay Wrinkle Correction Serum with Vitamin B3+Peptides for about 3 weeks so far and I’ve had fantastic results. I noticed a difference in about 3-4 days with the way my skin felt and looked in the morning after using it before bed. Now after using it for a few weeks I’ve noticed a difference in the texture of my skin and less dry patches around my nose and mouth area. I will continue using this serum and recommend it highly!" -Olay Reviewer
"My skin feels supple and soft, and fine lines and wrinkles are greatly reduced with the added moisture... My makeup sits so, so much smoother on my face, lasts longer and covers better. I use less product, and don’t really get cakey anymore... I would highly, highly recommend this product to anyone looking to increase hydration, even texture, and soften skin." -Target Reviewer
