What a 0/5 rating means
On the comedogenic scale, a 0 means it will not clog pores for essentially anyone, including very acne-prone skin. That places Hyaluronic Acid in the range most people, including many with acne-prone skin, tolerate well.
One thing the number cannot tell you is concentration. Ingredients are listed in descending order, so Hyaluronic Acid near the end of a label is present in tiny amounts and matters far less than the same ingredient near the top.
About Hyaluronic Acid
It is a humectant that pulls water into the upper layers of skin. A water-binding humectant rated 0/5, non-comedogenic and fungal-acne safe.
On a label it can read as Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer — worth knowing when you scan an ingredient deck.
Hyaluronic Acid in makeup and skincare
It is a near-universal hydrator in primers, foundations, toners, and moisturisers. Its irritancy is rated separately at 0/5, which is low.
