Everything you need to know about Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule renowned for binding and holding large amounts of water. It supports a plump, dewy and comfortable skin feel and is suitable for a broad range of formulas and skin types.
What are the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid for the skin?
Hyaluronic Acid helps hydrate the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of dryness or roughness.
When the skin is well hydrated, fine dehydration lines may look less noticeable.
When should you use Hyaluronic Acid
Skincare containing Hyaluronic Acid can be used morning and evening, especially when the skin feels dry, rough, or uncomfortable after cleansing.
Apply it to slightly damp skin, then follow with moisturizer. This helps retain the water already present on the skin’s surface so hydration feels longer lasting.
Is Hyaluronic Acid suitable for sensitive skin
Hyaluronic Acid can be used by a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin, when formulated at an appropriate level. It does not work by exfoliating the skin.
Comfort still depends on the complete product. Perform a patch test before regular use if your skin is highly sensitive or easily reactive.
Can Hyaluronic Acid be used with other actives?
Hyaluronic Acid can be used in formulas with Glycerin, Panthenol, Ceramide NP, and Ectoin. This combination does not require a special waiting period unless the product directions say otherwise.
These pairings can complement hydration, barrier care, or targeted treatment. Introduce the routine gradually if it also contains strong active ingredients.
