The thing with dry skin is that it's parched year round. Not just in the height of summer or the depths of winter. Both. If this sounds like your situation, you know it's all moisturizer, all the time. But all that hydration could be going to waste if you don't throw a serum in the mix.

Enter: hyaluronic acid. It holds 1,000 times its weight in H2O, acting like a magnet to keep hydration in. Apply your moisturizer over it to help seal in the water content and ward off fine lines and wrinkles, dry patches and flakiness. Too good to be true? Nope. Here, four hyaluronic acid serums we love.
