Hyaluronic Acid

What is it?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in our bodies, mainly found in youthful, plump, and hydrated skin. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases.

What does it do for the skin?
Hyaluronic acid's remarkable capacity for locking in moisture has made it a sought-after ingredient in many skincare products. It aids in diminishing wrinkles, enhancing skin firmness, refining texture, addressing dryness, maintaining skin hydration, preventing skin tightness, and promoting elasticity.

Can it be used with other skincare ingredients?
Hyaluronic acid is used as a moisturising ingredient in a wide array of products. It is safe to use with most skincare ingredients, especially products that contain ingredients like salicylic acid, vitamin c and retinol to help attract and retain moisture to the skin.

Is it suitable for all skin types?
Works well for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin.

Is there a specific order in which it should be applied and how should I use it?
The order in which you apply hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine can depend on your individual preferences and the specific products you use. However, a typical guideline for applying hyaluronic acid in a skincare routine is as follows:

Cleanser: Start with a gentle cleanser to clean your face and remove any impurities or makeup.

Toner: Apply a toner if it's part of your routine. Toners can help prepare your skin to absorb subsequent products.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Apply a hyaluronic acid serum to clean, damp skin. This allows the serum to better lock in moisture. Gently pat or massage the serum into your face and neck.

Moisturizer: Follow up with a moisturizer to seal in the hydration and create a protective barrier on your skin.

Sunscreen (Morning Routine): If you're applying hyaluronic acid in your morning routine, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

It's important to note that hyaluronic acid works best when applied to slightly damp skin. This is because it attracts and binds to water, helping to keep your skin hydrated.

The frequency of hyaluronic acid use can vary. Some people use it daily, while others may use it a few times a week, depending on their skin type and needs
