Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which means it pulls water from the air around it -- so this works beautifully in Indian humidity and can actively backfire in a dry air-conditioned office, where with nothing sealing it, it draws moisture from deeper skin instead.
Full details →Who the MAYBELLINE New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting length rather than volume, in a non-waterproof formula.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting volume or a waterproof formula -- both are different products.
Who the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer 50g is for
Buy it if: Oily and combination skin in humid conditions, where a humectant works as intended.
Avoid it if: Anyone in dry or air-conditioned air using it alone, and anyone sensitive to fragrance.

| Fragrance | Fragrance free | Present, which is the single commonest cause of reaction in a moisturiser |
| Key actives | Bamboo extract and fibres, in a flexible polymer film | Sodium hyaluronate, glycerin |

| Formula | Not waterproof. The waterproof version is a separate product | not published |
| How hyaluronic acid works | not published | It is a humectant -- it draws water from the surrounding air into the skin |
| Pumping the wand | Pushes air into the tube and dries the formula faster. Twist instead | not published |
| Removal | Warm water and cleanser; no oil remover needed | not published |

| Why the symbol is not enough | The 6M open-jar symbol assumes normal cosmetic use; eye products are the recognised exception and clinical advice is 3 months | not published |
