Gel with hyaluronic acid will maximally moisturize and nourish the skin. Such products may contain both low-molecular and high-molecular “hyaluronic acid”; the area of particularly active influence of the product – the epidermis or deep layers – will depend on this.
Gels based on hyaluronic acid can be used to care for the skin of the face, hands, neck and décolleté. The main component is added to shower gels for intimate hygiene. The cost of such products ranges from 59-1500 rubles, you can find a higher price, it all depends on the brand and point of sale.
Beneficial properties of gels with hyaluronic acid
Gels with hyaluronic acid have a number of advantages that are recognized by cosmetologists as unique properties:
- create a thin protective film on the surface of the epidermis;
- treat acne, get rid of acne;
- maintain an optimal level of skin moisture;
- activate natural regeneration processes and accelerate the healing of wounds and cracks;
- fills wrinkles and smoothes them out;
- increase the elasticity and firmness of the dermis;
- eliminates excessive dryness of the skin and areas of peeling.
In the cosmetology industry, hyaluronic acid is used for rejuvenation procedures and facial contour tightening. If previously this component was extracted from the combs of roosters and fish, the modern cosmetic industry has learned to synthesize hyaluronic acid. At the same time, the substance is not rejected by the body and does not cause allergies, because its molecular composition is completely identical to that inherent in natural “hyaluronic acid”.
Two types of hyaluronic acid are used in gels:
- low molecular weight – affects the upper layers of the skin, rejuvenates and restores the epidermis;
- high molecular weight – “works” in deep layers, moisturizes the dermis “from the inside”.
Cosmetic with collagen
Any cosmetic gel with hyaluronic acid and collagen is, first of all, maximum skin hydration. Such products can be used at any age, but they show their most pronounced effect when only the first signs of aging appear - increased dryness of the dermis, the formation of fine wrinkles.
CONSLY Pure Collagen Firming Gel
The main components of the gel of this brand are collagen and hyaluronic acid. The product is suitable for use over the age of 25 years. Main advantages of use:
- retains moisture on the surface of the skin for a long time;
- increases the elasticity of the epidermis;
- eliminates areas of peeling;
- relieves the feeling of tightness.
Consly Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid Gel can be used as a primary moisturizer and is free of potential irritants, making it suitable for overly sensitive skin.
The cost of the product ranges from 400 rubles per 300 ml package.
DNC L'OR
The product is low cost, contains only two main components - hyaluronic acid and collagen, and is classified as hypoallergenic. The gel moisturizes both the upper layer of the dermis and its deeper structures. It is transparent, practically odorless, and spreads evenly over the surface of the face, neck and décolleté. Immediately after application, a slight sticky feeling may appear, but after a few minutes it completely disappears - the product is absorbed to the maximum.
The product fills wrinkles, moisturizes well, and has a positive effect on evening out skin tone. If there are traces of acne and acne on the face, small foci of inflammation, then under the influence of DNS gel they will become less pronounced, and the “fresh” ones will completely disappear.
The cost of packaging the product in 15 ml is 50-65 rubles.
Concentrate (“Northern Lights”)
This product uses high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, so it actively “works” in the deep layers of the skin. Cosmetologists recommend using it for care at different ages; it is also effective for skin with pronounced age-related changes. The manufacturer produces the gel in a bottle with a convenient dispenser, so it can be applied to the face, neck or décolleté literally in drops. Properties of Concentrate gel (“Northern Lights”):
- forms an impenetrable protective film on the epidermis;
- prevents the evaporation of moisture from skin cells;
- nourishes the dermis;
- increases firmness and elasticity of the skin;
- fills wrinkles and makes them less noticeable or completely eliminates them.
Additionally, D-panthenol was added to the composition, a component that has powerful wound-healing properties.
The cost of a 30 ml bottle ranges from 110-150 rubles.
With aloe
If a gel with hyaluronic acid contains aloe juice or extract as an additional component, then the product “by default” will have anti-inflammatory properties. And therefore the product can be used on irritated skin, with areas of inflammation and acne.
CONSLY Aloe Vera Soothing Gel
This product contains both hyaluronic acid and aloe, so it is ideal for caring for oily and combination skin types, as well as mature, normal and dry, problematic and overly sensitive skin. Gel from the Consly brand with aloe not only moisturizes and nourishes skin cells, but also fights inflammation and redness, eliminates oily shine and reduces the intensity of sebaceous secretion production by the fat glands.
The composition contains no potential allergens, so the gel can be used even by those who are predisposed to irritation and inadequate reactions of the epidermis to various substances. It spreads easily over the surface, absorbs quickly enough, and does not leave a sticky film after application.
The price of a 300 ml jar of gel is about 400-450 rubles.
Moisturizing Garnier
Garnier has created a product for moisturizing and nourishing the skin of the face, neck and décolleté, which consists of 96% natural ingredients. The gel is absolutely transparent, air bubbles are easily visible in the structure, and it feels sticky and viscous to the touch. But when applied to the skin, it can be easily and quickly distributed evenly over the surface, and instant absorption makes it impossible to form a sticky layer. The product can be used in 3 different ways:
- as a daytime moisturizer - applied before makeup;
- for night effects on the skin - used in the evening, restores “tired” dermis, eliminates morning swelling;
- for a mask - the gel is applied in a thick layer, without affecting the area around the eyes and lips, after 3 minutes the excess is removed with a napkin.
The cost of a 50 ml jar is about 300 rubles.
Oxygen
Oxygen gels with hyaluronic acid are used for hardware cosmetic procedures when the skin is treated with ultrasound or microcurrents. Such means:
- soothe severely irritated skin;
- eliminate areas of redness and inflammation;
- smooth out small wrinkles;
- make deep age folds less noticeable;
- even out skin tone.
If you use oxygen gels based on “hyaluronic acid” in courses, you can achieve deep hydration.
Product from Beauty Style
The American brand Beauty Style has long been releasing oxygen gels onto the market, which contain the following additional components:
- tamarind seed extract – enhances the properties of the main component, moisturizes the skin;
- sea plankton extract – smoothes wrinkles, fills cells with moisture;
- yeast extract – stimulates the production of natural collagen, tones the dermis.
The gel is used immediately before application and is suitable for cosmetic procedures at home. After the face, neck and décolleté have been treated with ultrasound or microcurrents, you need to wait 10-15 minutes and spread the remaining gel over the skin with your fingers, performing gentle massage movements. Excess is removed with a napkin.
The cost of a 200 ml package is about 1,700 rubles.
Dekrei face cream
One of the few cream-gels based on “hyaluronic acid”, which belongs to the oxygen category and can be used without devices. The consistency of the product is as close as possible to gel, it is applied evenly and is quickly absorbed, and therefore can be used as a base for daytime makeup.
After 3-5 applications, Dekrei gel demonstrates its effectiveness:
- small wrinkles are smoothed out;
- areas of peeling disappear;
- skin tone begins to even out.
The cost of a 58 ml bottle is around 600 rubles.
Compound
Now let's take a closer look at the composition of the aqua-gel hyaluronic acid and collagen from Novosvit and take a closer look at the components that we will apply to our skin.
This is what the composition looks like with translation into Russian:
Aqua (Water), Sodium Hyaluronate, Soluble Collagen, Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Parfum, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol
Water, sodium hyaluronate, soluble collagen, glycerin, xanthan gum, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, perfume, disodium EDTA, citric acid, benzyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin, tocopherol
Let's analyze the composition and check it for safety and naturalness using cosmetic analyzers.
Testing on analyzers
The composition of the serum can confidently be called quite good. In second place after water is sodium hyaluronate , and in third place is collagen . This suggests that there are quite a lot of these ingredients in the composition and they make up the majority in percentage terms. This is one of the few cases when the manufacturer really did not deceive.
I would like to note that hydrogenated castor oil is an emulsifier and also a bit of a film former. Therefore, it was completely possible to do without him in this lineup.
Since film formation in itself is characteristic of sodium hyaluronate. Therefore, if there is insufficient distribution (after the aqua gel has dried), in some places something similar to a very thin film is observed. This is especially noticeable if you look at the skin from a certain angle.
The harmful alcohol present in the composition is benzyl alcohol, here it acts as a preservative.
If it were not for the fragrance, then according to the EWG rating this cosmetic product could be called completely safe.
The last thing worth dwelling on is the ratio of natural and synthetic components. According to the ecoholic analyzer, the composition must contain at least 75% natural ingredients. This is most likely due to the fact that some components can be synthesized in the laboratory, and the cosmokis analyzer by default decides that they were produced that way.
Review of gels with hyaluronic acid for the face
Each gel with hyaluronic acid is enriched with additional components, which together will have a rejuvenating and nourishing effect on the skin. Depending on what specific dermal problems need to be solved, you should choose a specific product based on its basis.
Hyalurol ZD
The cream from the Russian manufacturer Hyalurol ZD has a natural composition of 95%. It is indicated for use at any age, but the product is especially effective in preventing early aging and eliminating existing fine wrinkles. Main properties of the gel:
- stops inflammatory processes;
- relieves areas of redness and peeling;
- Maximum moisturizes all layers of the dermis;
- increases the tone, elasticity and firmness of the skin.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, the product contains:
- dexpanthenol – an anti-inflammatory substance, cools the epidermis, accelerates regeneration processes;
- allantoin – has antibacterial properties, tones and has an antioxidant effect;
- glycerin - creates an invisible film on the surface of the skin that prevents moisture evaporation even in hot weather;
- urea – nourishes skin cells in deep layers.
In the first few minutes after applying the gel, there may be a feeling of stickiness and tightness, but this quickly passes. The aroma of the gel is characterized as unpleasant, “medicinal”, but it does not linger on the skin and quickly disappears. The gel is not suitable for caring for oily skin types.
The cost of a 30 ml tube is in the range of 50-100 rubles.
From Faberlic “Moisturizing with hyaluronic acid and bacteriophages”
This is a light and watery gel that has a pleasant aroma and is absorbed almost instantly. Suitable for caring for problem skin, but it contains phytocomponents and bacteriophages, which can cause allergies in some people.
Faberlic gel can be applied as a base for foundation or used to care for the skin of the face, neck and décolleté in the evening/night. It shows its properties especially well on young skin, which has not yet undergone age-related changes, but needs hydration and nutrition.
The cost of a 50 ml tube is 300-500 rubles.
NOVOSVIT AquaBoost “Hyaluronic night jelly for wrinkles”
The composition of the product is enriched with vitamin B5, its base is glycerin. The gel works in a complex way:
- moisturizes the skin;
- smoothes out small wrinkles;
- accelerates regeneration processes at the cellular level.
Night jelly should be used in the evening, it acts as a mask, so the frequency of use is 2-3 times a day. After application, a slight cooling sensation appears on the skin, as if the skin is “washed”. The gel is absorbed very quickly and does not leave behind a sticky layer or a feeling of tightness. The disadvantages include the use of fragrance by the manufacturer; its aroma remains on the skin for an hour.
The cost of a 50 ml tube is about 115 rubles.
Origin of hyaluronic acid
Humanity learned about the existence of hyaluronic acid less than a century ago.
It was first isolated in the 30s of the 20th century by biochemists Carl Meyer and John Palmer. They discovered an unusual polysaccharide in the vitreous humor of the bovine eye. Later they came up with a name for it. It comes from the Greek root hyalos, meaning “glassy.”
It took several decades to determine the structure and properties of hyaluronic acid.
And, of course, scientists rushed to look for ways to synthesize it. It was found that hyaluronate is obtained from various organs of mammals, as well as from microorganisms (hemolytic streptococcus, streptomycetes, corynebacteria). A number of methods have become industrialized, especially the production of hyaluronate from chicken combs.
And hyaluronic acid is still produced on an industrial scale in two ways:
- Extraction from mammalian tissues: chicken combs, umbilical cords of newborns.
- Microbial method based on producing bacteria: Streptococcus, Pasteurella.
Initially, synthesized hyaluronic acid was used in ophthalmic operations (since the 70s), and then they went further. The substance began to be used in gynecology, dermatology, surgery, traumatology, and orthopedics.
For 20-30 years now, hyaluronic acid has been a “triumphant” in cosmetology and the cosmetics industry.
Microbial synthesis of hyaluronate is in high demand. The price for 1 kg of purified imported product based on animal raw materials is 700 million rubles (data for 2022).
But is the game worth the candle?
Moisturizing gel with hyaluronic acid for the skin around the eyes
Moisturizing gels with hyaluronic acid for this part of the face have a soft, gentle composition and affect the dermis at the cellular level. The area of the face around the eyes requires special attention - the skin here is thin, sensitive to various irritations, and is exposed to powerful external influences. That is why it needs constant hydration, which will help prevent the appearance of many fine wrinkles.

What is hyaluronic acid?
Queen of cosmetology, elixir of youth, perfect moisturizer, living water - what epithets have been given to hyaluronic acid! It is added to skin care products, decorative cosmetics, and even injected invasively into the dermis to smooth out wrinkles, tighten oval shapes, and add volume to lips, cheekbones, and chin.
But what is it really - a magical savior or a placebo?
First things first.
Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronate, hyaluronan) is found in our body, including in the skin, fluids (tears and saliva), joints, and connective tissue.
Now we are only interested in the skin, so let's see how everything works here.
Following the outer layer of skin (epidermis) is a supporting layer - the dermis. The cells of the dermis are connected into a single structure by the intercellular matrix - a kind of cellular “glue”. It is based on collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The age-related changes in our face depend on the state of the cellular matrix.
Hyaluronic acid in this design is a moist environment in which the collagen-elastin framework is immersed. It is a kind of gel and accumulates water, nutrients, microelements - everything that comes from the capillaries and is sent to the cells.
Our skin tends to lose moisture. Through pores we lose up to half a liter of fluid per day. And it is hyaluronic acid that prevents our face from turning into “dried fruit”. It retains moisture in the dermis in the form of a kind of gel.
The hyaluronic acid molecule is large. It can attract and hold in the intercellular space an amount of water that exceeds its own weight hundreds of times.
The main tasks of hyaluronate are to moisturize the skin and protect against toxins.
Body gel with hyaluronic acid, shower
Gels with hyaluronic acid are also produced for showers, which are used to moisturize the skin of the body. Almost all manufacturers claim that such products not only moisturize the dermis, but also tighten it. But from the reviews it becomes clear that such a powerful effect can be expected for a very long time. And yet, gels:
- eliminate peeling;
- stop inflammatory processes;
- reduce the number of rashes;
- moisturize the skin;
- increase the tone and elasticity of the dermis.

Introduction
HA-based drugs can be used in two ways:
- Injection. Injections are given in a cosmetology clinic or salon. Can only be performed by specialists authorized for these types of procedures, using certified drugs.
- Externally. The effectiveness is less than with injections, but the risks are minimal. The gel is applied to the skin, penetrates into the deep layers and acts on the tissue from the inside.
Non-injection use is permissible at home, since if the manufacturer's recommendations are followed, the occurrence of adverse reactions is minimized. It is better to choose a method under the supervision of a cosmetologist.
Facial massage gel with hyaluronic acid
Facial massage is a very useful procedure, and if it is performed using a gel based on hyaluronic acid, its effectiveness will increase significantly.

Types of hyaluronic acid
Depending on the size of the molecule, hyaluronic acid in cosmetics can be high molecular weight or low molecular weight. Two different products, two different marketing concepts. Let’s understand both so as not to fall for the bait of cosmetic brand marketers with their eloquent promises that are not always justified.
- High molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HM-HA)
It consists of large molecules that are unable to penetrate deep into the skin. That is, its synthesized analogue does not exactly reach the dermis - the main “residence” of our genuine hyaluronic acid.This does not mean that such hyaluronic acid is completely useless. It is distributed throughout the skin, embedding itself in our own water-fat layer. That is, all it can do is complement our protective barrier and prevent the evaporation of moisture from the skin.
It is also believed that by covering the epidermis, hyaluronic acid attracts moisture from the air. But even if this is so, how much do we need this additional water if it does not get inside?
In addition, the reverse process is possible. If there is not enough moisture in the air, the hyaluronic “film” on the skin will begin to draw water from the epidermis, drying out the skin.
- Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (LM-HA)
Cosmetics manufacturers sat down and thought. Since a large molecule does not penetrate the skin, what should be done? Add hyaluronic acid with a smaller molecule size to the cosmetic product. This should result in a more effective product. A small molecule will climb deep into the dermis and remain there, working like a magnet for moisture.But this path turned out to be an unsubstantiated theory, empty big words. How does NM-HA actually work on the skin?
There are NO scientific studies that would confirm its deep penetration into the dermis and stimulation of fibroblasts. This is “proven” only at the level of statements made by manufacturers of cosmetics with NM-HA from the category “the product smoothed out wrinkles in women after 2 months of daily use.” You know those “studies”: the subjects’ wrinkles are smoothed out, but the customers’ wrinkles are not?
And even if at some point scientists do find out that NM-HA reaches the dermis, it is not known whether this is good or whether the skin needs it.
is it so bad? There is still one argument in favor of NM-GK (although it is somewhat inconclusive). It has been proven that such a molecule penetrates the upper layer of the skin - the epidermis. And here, too, there is its own hyaluronic acid, it is synthesized by the main cells of the epidermis - keratinocytes. And external use of NM-HA activates keratinocytes - this has been confirmed. It’s just not yet clear whether this somehow affects the synthesis of one’s own hyaluronic acid or not.
In general, there are continuous ambiguities that strongly contrast with the confidence of brands that their hyaluronic acid will rejuvenate everyone and make them beautiful.
And one more nuance. Unlike large hyaluronate molecules, small ones do not work to strengthen the water-fat layer of the skin.
What else can be said about the two types of hyaluronic acid? Fillers, as a rule, contain its high molecular weight version. Both types are included in cosmetic products (separately or together). In so-called “active” cosmetics (serums, masks), the emphasis is on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid.
This is interesting!
Scientists have discovered that young skin has more large hyaluronic acid molecules, while skin with accumulated photodamage has more small ones.
Intimate gel with hyaluronic acid
The main task of intimate gels with hyaluronic acid is to moisturize the delicate area. But manufacturers supplement such products with natural plant extracts, D-panthenol, and this enhances the effectiveness - they moisturize and accelerate the healing of small wounds/scratches, soothe and relieve irritation and itching.
Gel for the intimate area from Plazan
Gently cleanses, can be used every day for unlimited duration. The composition contains lactic acid, which has a beneficial effect on the vaginal microflora and prevents itching and burning. The gel actively moisturizes the skin in the delicate area, providing a feeling of freshness for 6-8 hours.
The cost of a 200 ml bottle does not exceed 350 rubles.
Intimate gel lubricant “Gynocomfort with hyaluronic acid and panthenol”
This is a lubricant that is used to make sexual intercourse more comfortable. But at the same time as instant hydration and stimulation of natural lubrication, the product has an additional effect:
- protects the mucous membrane from microdamage;
- accelerates the healing process of scratches and sprains;
- increases the level of elasticity;
- nourishes skin cells and mucous membranes in delicate areas.
Price 50 ml – about 400 rubles.
Any gels with hyaluronic acid will have a beneficial effect on the skin. Manufacturers often enrich the composition of their products with vitamins, plant extracts and cosmetic oils - you need to study the description of a specific product to prevent the development of severe allergies. Gels with “hyaluronic acid” are recognized as the most effective means for rejuvenation and moisturizing, which can be used at home at any age.
How to cook at home
To create a cosmetic product for skin rejuvenation with your own hands, you need to buy HA powder at the pharmacy. If you use high molecular weight, then its percentage should not exceed 1. The amount of low molecular weight can be 2%. The first preparation will not be perfect and, most likely, you will have to adjust the composition after the first use.
