In the last few years, hyaluronic acid has become one of the biggest beauty buzzwords. Incorporated in skincare products ranging from cleansers to moisturisers, this stalwart ingredient holds the key to bouncy, hydrated skin. And the best part is, every skin type can benefit.
With the ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in moisture, while working to defend skin against free radical damage and smooth the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and irregular texture, it’s a powerhouse ingredient you need in your routine.
Whether incorporated as a lightweight serum before make-up, a body lotion to soothe dry and chapped skin, or as an intensive moisturiser when your complexion feels like it needs a big drink of water, hyaluronic acid will help to smooth patchy texture and give skin the ‘bounce’ it craves.
