Finding the best hyaluronic acid serum is one way to combat dehydrated skin—a particular concern during the winter months, with indoor heaters and frigid outdoor temperatures. Hyaluronic acid can hold “1000 times its weight in water,” says Harvard-trained dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry. It’s a sugar that is found in our skin and naturally depletes with age which is why it's important to incorporate it into your skin-care routine via topical products,” explains Dr. Orit Markowitz, dermatologist and founder of Optiskin Medical in New York City. “It works to retain moisture within, which leads to hydrated and plump skin and a more youthful appearance.” Dr. Markowitz recommends that her patients use a hyaluronic acid serum a few times a week, and only once per day. “If you use HA every day, your skin will adapt too quickly, and the results won't be as impactful,” she says.

That risk is compounded for pregnant women of color. The maternal death rate for black mothers is already double the rate of white mothers, and nationally Black and Latina women are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 during pregnancy. So grave are the concerns around COVID-19 and maternal mortality that legislation to address the issue was introduce...
