What does hyaluronic acid do for skin?
The hydrating ingredient everyone mentions, and how to use it properly.
Quick answer: Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin for plump, comfortable hydration. Apply it to damp skin and seal it with a moisturiser.
How it works
It holds many times its weight in water, hydrating the surface.
Using it well
Apply to damp skin and follow with moisturiser, especially in dry indoor air.
Who it suits
Every skin type, including oily and sensitive.
In clinic
Skin boosters deliver hyaluronic acid into deeper layers.
Common questions
Is hyaluronic acid a filler?
In serums, no. Fillers use cross-linked forms injected by medical professionals.
