What makes hyaluronic acid special?

These days, skin moisturizers are a dime a dozen. So what exactly makes hyaluronic acid stand out from the sea of options? The answer is its ability to absorb and retain up to 1000 times its own weight in water. As such, it’s an ideal product for people who suffer from very dry skin, as it quickly and effectively restores moisture to your skin cells. The result is hydrated skin that’s smoother, plumper, and more youthful looking.

What formats is it available in?

Hyaluronic acid was first offered as an injectable because its molecules were too big to be absorbed directly by the skin. However, advances in technology allowed for the production of hyaluronic acid products that have lower molecular weights, allowing the substance to easily make its way through your skin layers to deliver its nourishing and moisturizing effects.

Why do I need it?

Throughout the day, exposure to the elements can dry out your skin, causing problems such as itching and tightness. The bad news is that as you age, your skin’s ability to retain moisture also decreases. This is why using a hydrating product is such an important component of your beauty regimen. Even oily skin types can suffer from dehydration and moisture. This non-comedogenic powerhouse plumps and hydrates without heavy waxes or emollients, making it suitable for all skin types.

How can it help prevent wrinkles?

There are few things as distressing as finding the first signs of wrinkles and fine lines on your face. However, many might not realize that a moisturizing product can actually help them prevent the signs of skin aging as well as soften skin. Moisture improves the skin’s elasticity, which makes it more resilient and resistant to the formation of wrinkles. What’s more, moisturizers also help plump up skin volume, which makes existing fine lines much less obvious.

But I don’t want to apply harmful chemicals to my face!

Hyaluronic acid is not a synthetic substance nor is it a harsh or exfoliating acid—in fact, it naturally occurs in the human body and acts as a lubricant. Hyaluronic acid is found in the skin’s structure and connective tissue throughout the body. What’s more, it is made up of sugar molecules, making it absolutely natural and safe to use.

Fifty-percent of the body’s supply of hyaluronic acid is stored in the skin tissues, but as one ages, your ability to naturally produce this viscous, jelly like substance diminishes. Hence, you may want to supplement it by purchasing a product that contains hyaluronic acid that is well absorbed by skin to keep it hydrated and supple.

Is it safe to use hyaluronic acid serum everyday?

Yes it is safe to use hyaluronic acid serum everyday – in fact we recommend it. Hyaluronic acid serum is a naturally occurring compound found in the body and when it is applied topically, research shows it is well tolerated and does not cause allergic reactions or irritate sensitive skin.
