What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid has become a staple skincare ingredient in the world of beauty—and for good reason. This naturally occurring humectant helps to increase moisture in the skin. What is a humectant? It is a moisturizing agent known for its ability to draw water into the skin and retain that moisture, so your skin stays hydrated longer. Here, we explore why hyaluronic acid is the perfect addition to your skincare routine for dewy, plump, and hydrated skin.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a skincare ingredient that increases and seals in moisture for soft, smooth, plump-looking skin. It has the remarkable ability to hold water up to 1,000 times its weight, making this ingredient an intense moisturizer and humectant. Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge for the skin by attracting and maintaining water for enhanced suppleness and an overall fuller appearance.

What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid?

When hyaluronic acid is incorporated into a skincare routine, it has the ability to:

• Increase and maintain skin’s moisture levels
• Smooth the look of fine lines
• Improve skin's elasticity

Is hyaluronic acid suitable for all skin types?

Hyaluronic acid is a skincare ingredient that is suitable for all skin types, but especially good for dry skin. Many skincare products with hyaluronic acid easily can be incorporated into a new or existing skincare routine. Explore some of our hyaluronic acid skincare products for hydrated skin.
