What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Often deemed the ‘fountain of youth’, hyaluronic acid is an intensely hydrating and powerful skincare ingredient that helps to plump and nourish the skin for a fuller, younger-looking complexion. Read on to find out more about the benefits of hyaluronic acid for skin and discover how to incorporate this wonder ingredient into a hydrating skincare routine.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant that binds water to collagen, helping the skin to appear firmer and more plump. Though hyaluronic acid is produced naturally in the body, it can be added into your skincare routine to boost hydration. Just one gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six liters of water, making it one of the world’s most hydrating compounds.
What Does Hyaluronic Acid Do For Your Skin?
Renowned for its restorative properties, hyaluronic acid provides long-lasting hydration and helps to smooth the skin.
A highly hygroscopic ingredient, it boosts the skin’s moisture content by attracting water molecules from the environment while reducing transepidermal water loss. It also helps to restore the skin’s barrier function, protecting the skin from further environmental damage for a radiant, more youthful-looking complexion.
Benefits Of Hyaluronic Acid
- Hyaluronic acid increases the skin’s moisture levels and provides intense hydration.
- It helps to restore the skin’s natural barrier and surface, protecting the skin from environmental aggressors.
- It provides an instant plumping and firming effect, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Forms of Hyaluronic Acid
There are two primary forms of hyaluronic acid found in skincare products, sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. Both provide similar benefits but work at different levels of the skin and can be used together in skincare formulations.
- Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid works on the skin’s surface to help hydrate the top layers of the skin.
- Sodium hyaluronate is the salt derivative of hyaluronic acid. Thanks to its lower molecular weight, it absorbs better into the skin and acts on the deeper layers of the epidermis.
When And How To Use Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful and gentle ingredient that can be used by all skin types morning and night (though it’s especially beneficial for skin that feels dehydrated). For best results, opt for formulas that are left on the skin, like toners, serums and moisturizers.
Hyaluronic acid also works beautifully with several other skincare ingredients, including niacinamide, retinol and vitamin C.
