@thecatsmeow, I know people that are allergic to or are sensitive to hyaluronic acid. It makes it hard to find products at times because as you said, it's in so many skincare products. I have normal-to-dry mature skin (dry-to-very dry in fall and winter) with sensitivity to certain ingredients. Here are some products (non sunscreen) I've found to be helpful at providing hydration to my skin and protecting it and that, to my knowledge, does not include hyaluronic acid. You should review ingredient lists to confirm and to make sure there are not other ingredients that your skin may not responde well to. Just a note, sodium hyaluronate is a derivative of hyaluronic acid that is often found in skincare products so you may need to review ingredient lists for that as well as other names or derivatives for hyaluronic acid. Also, you may want to confirm that with the brand as ingredients list change. Under $25:* The INKEY List Oat Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 5 oz/ 150 mL * The INKEY List Bio-Active Ceramide Repairing and Plumping Moisturizer + Barrier Strengthening 1.7 oz / 50 mL * Curel Intensive Face Moisturizer Cream* The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL $25 - $50:* Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover * Tatcha The Indigo Cleansing Balm Moisturizing Makeup Remover 1.9 oz / 54 g * Biossance Squalane + Antioxidant Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil 6.76 oz / 200 mL * Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz / 50 mL * Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL * Biossance 100% Sugarcane Squalane Oil 3.4 oz / 100 mL Over $50:* Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm * #Algenist GENIUS Liquid Collagen® Serum 1 oz / 30 mL * Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster for Firmer, Smoother Skin 0.67 oz / 20 mL * Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Brightening Moisturizer 1.69 oz / 50 mL * Youth To The People Adaptogen Deep Moisturizing Cream with Ashwagandha + Reishi Mushroom 2 / 59 * Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Brightening and Firming Face Oil 1.01 oz / 30 mL * Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL I've tried all of these products over time and they've performed well on my skin; the items in bold are the ones that are currently in my rotation. Some of these items are available in a mini size, which may be a good way to try out the product to see how your skin responds. If you have a local Sephora store near you that carry these brands / products (Curel is not available at Sephora), you might ask to get a sample of a few to try. If you're starting a new routine or trying out new products, my recommendation is to test one at a time, for a period of time - this will be helpful both in giving you a better idea of how a product works for you as well as if the product or ingredients in it work well with your skin and other products or whether you may be allergic to something in it. Brands are having their holiday sales and some have sets of mini's/travel sized items so that might be a way to go about trying some products.

I am LOVING the Danessa Myricks Yummy brush 1.0 - waited for it to restock and cannot wait to grab the smaller 3.0 brush. The bristles are firm yet soft and the slope of the brush just works perfectly for foundations and other cream products. Definitely my fave of the ones I’ve bought from Sephora. But honestly, the BK Beauty brushes (currently on sale on their website) are just spectacular and worth every penny!!
