There isn't strong proof that injectable hyaluronic acid makes your face skin better—most of the studies done so far are small, not fair tests, and might be skewed, so we can't be sure it actually causes the improvement.

Evidence from Studies

33

This study looked at many smaller studies about injecting hyaluronic acid into the face and found they all show some improvement, but none are big, perfect experiments—so we can’t be totally sure it’s the injection causing the change, just like the claim says.
