What does hyaluronic acid do in skincare?
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that binds water in the upper layers of the skin. This can help skin look plumper and smoother, so fine dehydration lines become less noticeable. The active is well tolerated and suits most skin types, from dry skin to skin that only temporarily looks dehydrated. Hyaluronic acid does not replace richer care, it complements it: it delivers moisture, while lipids and creams help keep that moisture in the skin.
How to use hyaluronic acid in your routine
Hyaluronic acid works best as a lightweight step early in the routine, for example as a serum after cleansing. Apply it ideally to slightly damp skin, then seal it with a cream so the bound moisture does not simply evaporate again. In very dry environments or for noticeably dehydrated skin, pairing a serum with a richer moisturizer is especially worthwhile. Hyaluronic acid can be used morning and evening and combines well with other actives.
