After 3 weeks of not using HA at all, when my skin was rather ok, i used it one evening just to wake up with an oily face - combination skin here - so it went in the bin. I had it in the past as well, and never been able to single out the culprit, but now this was the only difference between good skin and fry an egg face.

Yeah but Sali says it's for EVERY skin type, so you're doing it wrong. 
Not in the least bit surprised to see the loathsome false Marian Keyes sucking up again. Horrible woman
I too detest MK. I used to think she was funny, and she was the only chick lit author I'd ever read. That was maybe 20 years ago, then I forgot about her for a few years and found her on Twitter recently. She's a disgusting crony, sucking up to IK and other reprehensible people. All about the company she keeps.
Absolutely this. It's so pig-headed to be parroting the line that HA is for EVERYONE and there's NO WAY that your skin won't like it in 2020, particularly after the re-publication of that Jessica Defino article. She's actually causing harm to people's skin by insisting on using absolutes like this, it's so unprofessional.
So she insults her readers' intelligence to justify her lazy-ass column. Lovely
What even is the point of her anymore vis-a-vis beauty? She's so stubbornly behind the times

She hasn’t shared her column on Twitter. I was looking forward to someone saying ‘oh, but hyaluronic acid doesnt work on my face’ to have one of her very snippy responses about not trying hard enough/buying the ‘right’ product or similar.
Or just saying something like ‘impossible, it works for EVERYONE’.
I’m a bit weirded out by my skin no longer being greasy, because it’s been oily/combination my whole life, before I knew anything about skincare and all the way since, until a few weeks ago. I’ve still been occasionally using the last few drops of The Ordinary’s HA that I have, which doesn’t seem to do anything either way. Last night I didn’t use it, just niacinamide and some salicylic acid, and when I used the retinol in squalane a bit later I noticed it didn’t pill or feel grainy which was interesting. (Side note: will be applying hefty SPF today). Has anyone else had a skin type change like this? I’m in my 30s and I assumed I’d have oily skin forever, or at least till I was quite a bit older than I am now! I’ve built my entire skincare and makeup collection around it. I think it’s now dehydrated rather than being dry, per se.

I always had oily/combination skin until I hit my 40s. My hair was also, or so I thought, and I would wash it daily. I couldn’t pin point the exact time, but I noticed my skin changed and products were drying me out and I was looking for more moisture and creamier textures. I’d also get more dry patches. The added bonus was my hair, in that I can now wash it a couple of times a week! I definitely think it’s an age, hormonal thing.
On HA, I’ve tried various serums, the ordinary etc, and I don’t feel that any of them have ever particularly done anything for me. I gave up using it as a stand alone product ages ago, although I appreciate they put it in loads of other creams and serums.
The idea that my scalp would become less oily too is a total winner to me. I can stretch it out with dry shampoo but it does my scalp no favours
I've used several products and masks with hyaluronic acid over the years but can't say I ever noticed any difference, certainly never felt more hydrated or plumped!
It isn't an ingredient I avoid though, I'm just not convinced it does anything beneficial. Yet more snake oil.

So weird that she doesn't share her columns on twitter any more.

Also like a few drops of hadalabo HA in my serum but like Svetlana says, an hour later the effect has gone. Glossier Future Dew is supposed to give an all day effect of this plumped moist skin but you can't get it where I live.
Also passionately love those Garnier Hydrabomb masks but again, the results are short lived.

, sorry you can’t get hold of it
.Yeah, I would have thought the guardian would require it but obviously not!

What do you make of the scent? I love the glow it gives but I find the fragrance so odd.
