## What the research says

- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- Benzyl alcohol acted moderately and reversibly on stratum corneum lipids, increasing hygroscopicity and decreasing water-holding capacity to the same extent as Azone and DMSO. ([Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7742806/))

Sodium Hyaluronate Molecule and botanical extracts make this serum a good fit for sensitive skin by helping maintain hydration and soothing redness and irritation. It is a treatment of this type that needs soothing antioxidants and gentle hydrating ingredients, along with skin-repairing components like niacinamide and snail secretion filtrate, to best fit sensitive skin.

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm and hydrate sensitive skin while improving skin barrier strength and reducing dryness and redness. It is generally well-tolerated and may enhance overall skin comfort and texture.

Grown Alchemist Instant Smoothing Serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because it is free of harsh or heavy ingredients that typically block pores.
