Hyaluronic Acid: The Hydration Hero Explained

Hyaluronic Acid: The Hydration Hero Explained

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule your skin already makes. It works like a sponge, drawing water in and holding it there – which is why it has become one of the most popular hydrating ingredients in skincare.

What hyaluronic acid does

  • Attracts moisture – as a humectant, it binds water to the outer layers of the skin.
  • Plumps and smooths – well-hydrated skin looks fuller and smoother, and fine lines caused by dryness look less visible.
  • Suits every skin type – it is lightweight and non-greasy, so it works for oily and sensitive skin too.

How to get the most from it

  1. Apply to slightly damp skin so it has water to hold on to.
  2. Seal it in with a moisturiser or facial oil to keep that hydration in place.
  3. Use it morning and night – it plays well with almost every other ingredient, including retinol and vitamin C.
