A diluted glycerin-and-water mix (avoid applying undiluted glycerin directly); mix just enough for same-day use because preservatives are missing.

Chapters

$300 for a hyaluronic acid serum is a joke. I'm a board certified dermatologist and frankly, hyaluronic acid is not the best hydrating ingredient on the market. Here's a hydrating routine from lightest to thickest. I love this DIY by mixing 100 glycerin and not just using 100 glycerin directly on your skin because too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing. You mix this with water just the right amount to last you for the day. You don't try to make more because preservatives are missing, and you use this throughout the day to rehydrate your skin and replenish lost stores of moisture without making your makeup budge or looking cakey or flaky in the process.
