Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that is able to absorb 1000 times its weight in water. Although this popular ingredient is naturally found in the human body, as you age, production starts declining and consequently, so does your skin’s natural plumpness and hydration. That’s why using hyaluronic acid skincare products can be so beneficial, regardless of your skin type.

Hyaluronic acid is most commonly known for its hydrating properties and rightly so, as it is able to increase the moisture content of your skin and boost your natural moisture barrier to prevent common issues associated with skin dehydration, from roughness and flakiness to redness and inflammation.

But that’s not all. Other benefits of hyaluronic acid include its ability to improve skin elasticity to keep ageing signs at bay and minimise pigmentation issues by accelerating cell turnover.

Whether we’re talking about moisturisers, serums or even makeup, with the right products in your skincare kit, it’s easy to start using hyaluronic acid for skin.

Our iconic Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator is a powerful moisturiser with hyaluronic acid, providing deep hydration that lasts for 100 hours, and Even Better Refresh™ Hydrating and Repairing Makeup is a full-coverage foundation with hyaluronic acid, for the perfect skincare-makeup hybrid. Looking for the best hyaluronic acid serum? Look for further - our Smart Clinical Repair™ Wrinkle Correcting Serum is exactly what you need.

Wondering when to use hyaluronic acid? We suggest doing so right after cleansing your face, so your skin can better absorb it.

As if there weren’t enough already, another benefit of hyaluronic acid is that it pairs well with virtually any other skincare ingredient. Hyaluronic acid and retinol, for example, is a match made in heaven, as the first leaves the skin hydrated, enhancing the benefits of the latter. You can also pair hyaluronic acid and vitamin C or niacinamide for even deeper hydration.
