You’ve likely heard of the ingredient Hyaluronic Acid. After all every beauty professional, blogger and vlogger raves about it. But do you know exactly why this super skincare ingredient is adored by so many? Or whether it’s right for your skin? Well, we are here to educate you. Keep reading as we reveal all you need to know about this hydration hero, it’s multiple benefits, and the best hyaluronic acid skincare products you should try.

Firstly, hyaluronic acid is not a new ingredient, in fact, it has been a staple in skincare and makeup for decades now. The word ‘acid’ can be daunting for many when it comes to their skin, but this ingredient is in fact a paradox as it’s not actually an acid at all! It’s in fact a sugar!

Thanks to its sponge like affect, Hyaluronic acid has the ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in moisture, in other words, one gram of hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to six litres of water! Crazy right? Making it THE super hydrator of the skincare world, especially more recently as advancement in technical innovation has changed it for the better! Now, thanks to its molecular structure Hyaluronic acid has the ability to deeply penetrate to instantly deliver supple, dewy skin in a matter of seconds! In fact, it literally binds moisture to skin cells to keep skin smooth, firm, plump, and undeniably radiant! The extra moisture also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!

But, this skincare-wonder doesn’t stop there, not only does it benefit those with dry, dehydrated skin, it’s also a must for all skin types, especially those concerned with premature ageing. This is because not only does it allow the skin and the connective tissues to retain moisture and remain hydrated, (and hydrated skin is healthy skin that ages slower!) It also helps maintain collagen levels (which dramatically declines with age), and we all know we need collagen to remain youthfulness when it comes to our complexion.

Hyaluronic acid also helps with tissue regeneration, it is proven to help wounds heal faster, can reduce scarring and diminish redness and sunburn! This is due to its ability to keep the tissue moist, manage inflammation and signal the body to build more blood vessels in areas with the skin has been damaged so nutrients can get to them!

And finally, this multi-tasking wonder is a real acne fighter. Hyaluronic acid has natural antibacterial properties making it perfect for those who are suffering from breakouts. What more could you ask from one skincare ingredient?

Hyaluronic acid isn’t just a skincare ingredient though, it’s actually naturally produced by our bodies, but like collagen, as we age its production gradually decreases. Our skin then slowly loses its ability to maintain moisture and stay well balanced! This is where topical hyaluronic acid skincare becomes a necessity. Just remember though the more hyaluronic you put on your face, the more youthful you’ll look – fact! And nowadays we are spoilt with the many hyaluronic acid serums, creams, lotions and potions. Here are our four of our favourites, adored by our customers too!

“Completely obsessed! I’m not usually into face mists or even toners but tried this and fell madly in love!!! Not only does it make my skin feel super moist and dewy first thing, but I also noticed it keeps my make-up nicely set. I use it in the am after I’m made up and before bedtime after my moisturizer. Here’s the obsession part, since I’m on a computer all day and it’s become my go-to mist as my skin feels dry and tight from all the blue light exposure, I hydramist away!” Maribella, BC customer
