Is there a really popular product, technique, or otherwise viral trend that you tried and it fell short somehow?

What was it, what were your expectations, and what was the result?

(LOL no shame, totally posting this in the makeup community if I can find it)

Hyaluronic acid. Makes my skin drier and brings out fine lines in cold, dry winter weather, no matter how much hydration I use and how thick an occlusive layer i yop it with. I now reserve it for hot humid weather only.

I had this struggle too! I only use mine as an occasional thing and I put it on wet skin, like not drenched but still drips of water? Basically after I shower I towel off but just do one pat on my face and put my wet hair in the towel and apply the HA.

alternatively just do a gentle quick pat after washing your face then apply and let dry before continuing your routine. And to anyone wondering micellar water wasn't adequate for me.
