Hyaluronic acid and thyme oil: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Apply hyaluronic acid first for hydration, then wait a few minutes before using thyme oil to avoid irritation. Thyme oil can irritate dry or hydrated skin and disrupt the moisture barrier created by hyaluronic acid. The shopper can use a lower-concentration thyme oil or separate the products by using them at different times of day.
