  • Hyaluronic acid, commonly used in skincare for hydration, can be safely combined with other active ingredients like retinol and vitamin C, even after skin booster treatments.
  • Aesthetic doctors confirm that hyaluronic acid treatments and daily skincare routines complement each other, with boosters improving skin from within and skincare maintaining results from the surface.
  • While generally safe, excessive use of exfoliants like AHA and BHA should be avoided after active treatments to prevent skin barrier damage and sensitivity.

Hyaluronic acid, a popular skincare ingredient known for its hydrating properties, can be safely integrated into daily routines alongside other active ingredients such as retinol and vitamin C, even following aesthetic treatments like skin boosters. Dr. Elizabeth Lisa, an aesthetic doctor, clarified that there are no restrictions on using these products concurrently.

She explained that treatments like hyaluronic acid skin boosters work to improve skin quality from the deeper layers, while topical skincare products help maintain these results on the surface. "The treatments from within and skincare from the outside actually work in support of each other," Dr. Lisa stated during a conference in Jakarta. Many patients find their skincare products become more effective after undergoing these treatments because their skin's overall health improves.

However, Dr. Lisa advised caution with exfoliating products, including those with AHA, BHA, or exfoliating toners. She recommended using them sparingly, perhaps only once a week, especially if the skin is undergoing other active treatments. Over-exfoliation can compromise the skin barrier, leading to increased sensitivity, redness, and irritation.

Dr. Lisa also emphasized that aesthetic treatments should be personalized to individual needs, considering skin condition, lifestyle, and activity levels. She likened effective aesthetic care to a balanced diet, where a combination of treatments often yields optimal results, rather than relying on a single approach. The ultimate goal of these treatments, she noted, is not to drastically alter facial features but to slow down the aging process, allowing individuals to present the best version of themselves.
