Hyaluronic acid and isopropyl alcohol
Keep them apart
Apply hyaluronic acid first and isopropyl alcohol at different times of day because alcohol dries out skin and ruins the hydration. Alcohol strips away moisture and fights the plumping effects of hyaluronic acid, leaving skin dry and irritated. The shopper can switch to an alcohol-free product or space them out by several hours.
