Is hyaluronic acid legit?

Some recommend using HA serum on face but it should also increase water retention / make cheeks look more swollen?

Why does HA serum make the face look bloated bro

Why does HA serum make the face look bloated bro

cuz our face as babies had ton of HA in it

Topical hylauronic acid does not bloat you whatsoever lol.
That's like saying applying any moisturizer will bloat you.
HA retains water, just like glycerin, which any moisturizer has.

If you inject hylauronic acid it will create volume, but it has to be a deep injection. Again, topical hylaurinic acid will only plump and hydrate your skin.

I took high molecular weight HA orally and it gave my cheeks more volume. Something I didn't want

If you ingest it/inject it, it will create volume. If you apply it topically as a serum/cream it will not

Yeah makes sense. Ingesting didn't allow me to control where the volume occurred

Yeah, injesting will cause water retention for some, and that could be in the face.

As for applying it topically imagine this scenario: After you wet your face do you have any more bloat? HA will bind to water molecules and keep your face hydrated, but that only occurs very much on the surface of the skin (even with smaller weights HA, they do not penetrate the skin deep enough).
