Why the list is this short

13 other serums contain Hyaluronic Acid but publish no concentration. A serum can list Hyaluronic Acid on the front of the box at a dose far below what the research supports, and nothing on the label would tell you. We don't guess a number, so those stay ungraded — see the full Hyaluronic Acid picture and the open rubric.
