April 30, 2026 at 5:03 AMHello, is this a cream or a gel? It appears to be just a thicker hyaluronic acid gel and not an actual cream. Any suggestions on how to make it a cream?

April 30, 2026 at 7:49 AMThe Hyaluronic Gel Cream walks the line between and gel and a cream, hence the name. If you desire more of a cream/lotion, I’d suggest our Glycolic Cream or Facial Moisturizers, all of which can also be customized with the addition of peptides and additives.
