It's a common question: if hyaluronic acid attracts water, what happens when the air is very dry? The key is usually what you apply afterward.

Yes, it can also work in dry climates; you don’t need to rule it out. Hyaluronic acid (SODIUM HYALURONATE) is a humectant: it helps retain water in the surface layer, but by itself it doesn’t provide a layer that reduces evaporation. That’s why the rest of your routine matters.
Try applying it to slightly damp skin, not soaking wet, and then use a moisturizer that helps retain that moisture. In a formula, ingredients like glycerin and emollients—for example, squalane—can complement hyaluronic acid. If your skin feels tight once it dries, reduce the amount or try applying the moisturizer on top; sometimes the texture or the specific formula simply doesn’t feel right.
With heating or air conditioning, a humidifier may also help if the air is very dry. You don’t need to chase a perfect humidity percentage: observe how your skin feels and adjust the final layer.
