Hyalu Gel Review: Today I’ll be sharing Hyalu Gel review. Hyalu gel is one of the most popular hyaluronic acid in India because it is quite affordable compared to hyaluronic acid serums. Hyaluronic acid is binding agent that holds water and keep skin hydrated, plump and youthful. Whereas, glycerine is an humectant that permit skin to retain moisture. It helps get rid of dryness and keep skin hydrated for a long time.

Ingredients
Aqua, glycerine, sodium hyaluronate, DMDM hydantoin, sodium methylparaben, sodium propylparaben, carbomer.

Hyalu gel comes stored in a white opaque tube with sky blue screw on cap. I would have preferred flip open cap because they are more quick and convenient to use. Moreover, it is ideal for travelling purpose and you can carry it without having to worry about leakage.
Fragrance
Thankfully, this product is free of fragrance but I did notice an extremely faint glue like smell.
Hyalu Gel Review And My Experience
It is a transparent, liquid gel. This runny gel needs little bit of massage to absorb completely into the skin. As claimed, it does not feel sticky or oily over my skin but somehow I experienced an uncomfortable stretch feel after applying this gel. I have normal skin type and I apply this right after cleansing my skin. It feels light but gives a dry stretch which I can’t tolerate. I apply moisturizer on top of it, still my skin felt slightly stretched.
You must have heard that hyaluronic acid is good for dry skin but not all hyaluronic acid suit dry skin. Thankfully, some of them can also fit oily or extremely oil skin and this is one of them.
Personally, I don’t like this gel. And would not recommend to someone with dry-normal skin type. Whereas, it can suit oily-combination skin really well and is highly recommended to them. Furthermore, it can be used as both serum as well as moisturizer. Since the consistency is runny liquid, it fits more as serum. Although, people having oily/very oily skin can use it as moisturizer too.
This gel leaves a matte finish, therefore don’t forget to combine a moisturizer that contain humectants, emollient and occlusive. Moreover, it has two main skin hydrating ingredients – glycerin and hyaluronic acid. It does not have any other non-sense ingredients but contain parabens which you may not like.
