should sunscreen with hyaluronic acid be applied on a damp skin?

I know hyaluronic acid is to be applied on a damp skin so shouldn’t sunscreen containing hyaluronic acid also be applied on damp/wet skin?

no you should apply it on dry skin because the susncreen needs to form an even layer which may not be possible if the water on your skin starts to evaporate

okay. but whatever about the hyaluronic acid in it, doesn’t it need moisture?

No. Sunscreens are made to be applied on dry skin. Wet skin will make the application of your sunscreen uneven and reduce your sun protection.

No it doesn't - unless the sunscreen says "Wet Skin" then the sunscreen is made to be applied on dry skin or it will not be as effective. The majority of sunscreens on the market are made to be applied on dry skin.

@Tulipfever yes hylauronic acid is better applied to damp skin but it must be specifically formulated in this product for it also to be fine when applied on dry skin 😊
