If you’ve ever looked into skincare ingredients, chances are you’ve heard about hyaluronic acid. But what exactly is it and why is it considered a must-have for hydrated, healthy skin? Let’s break it down.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Despite its name, hyaluronic acid (HA) isn’t a harsh or exfoliating acid – it’s actually a naturally-occurring substance in your skin that helps retain moisture. Think of it as a super sponge, holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water! This means it keeps your skin looking plump, smooth and hydrated.
However, as we age, our natural levels of HA decrease, leading to dehydration, fine lines and loss of elasticity. That’s where topical hyaluronic acid serums come in, delivering intense hydration back into the skin.
How Can Hyaluronic Acid Help Your Skin?
Using a high-quality hyaluronic acid serum (like our #5 Super Hydrating Serum) can make a noticeable difference in your skincare routine. Here’s how:
✅ Instant hydration – Hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin, instantly boosting hydration levels and improving texture.
✅ Plumper, smoother skin – Say goodbye to fine lines caused by dehydration. Hyaluronic acid fills in those lines, leaving skin looking fresh and youthful.
✅ Stronger skin barrier – A well-hydrated skin barrier helps protect against environmental stressors like pollution and dry air.
✅ Perfect for all skin types – Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive or combination, Hyaluronic acid is a universal hydrator that works for everyone.
How to Use Hyaluronic Acid for Maximum Benefits
For best results, apply hyaluronic acid to cleansed, slightly damp skin so it can lock in moisture. Follow up with a moisturiser like our #6 Pro Collagen Night Cream to seal in hydration and regenerate your skin overnight.
💡 Pro tip from our Founder, Nicola: "This is an essential in my gym bag. I apply it both before and after workouts to keep my skin fully hydrated, even while I’m working up a sweat. It ensures my skin stays refreshed and moisturised throughout."
