Hyaluronic acid

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (a type of sugar molecule) in the human body, especially rich in our skin, connective tissue and eyes. This powerful humectant is known for its unique ability to bind and retain water molecules, making it a skincare favorite for its hydrating effects.

Hyaluronic acid is indispensable in our skin care regimen due to its incredible moisturizing and anti-aging properties. Hyaluronic acid works effectively across all age groups and skin types, making it a universal solution to many common skin care challenges.

You often find hyaluronic acid in:

Serums
Moisturizers
Eye creams
Face masks

Advantage

Intense Hydration: Hyaluronic acid can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water, providing the skin with long-lasting moisture.

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By plumping up the skin, it helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

Promotes skin health: Supports the skin's healing and repair process and reduces redness associated with skin irritations.

Usage tips:

Frequency: Hyaluronic acid is gentle enough for daily use.

Application: Apply to cleansed skin before moisturizer to optimize hydration. For best results, use a product with hyaluronic acid along with a moisturizer to lock moisture into the skin.
