Read on to find out more now:

You might see the word acid and automatically lump it together with other exfoliating acids like mandelic acid, glycolic acid, etc. However, do not be mistaken as in fact Hyaluronic Acid (HA) does the exact opposite! It is a powerful humectant (ingredient that binds moisture).

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (carbohydrate) in your body. It is actually a natural structural component of your skin, and, in fact, is present in connective tissue throughout your body.

The amazing thing about this ingredient though, is in its ability to retain moisture. You might not believe it, but one gram of hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to 1000ml of water! HA provides your skin with moisture, plumpness, firmness and suppleness!

As you age, your skin moisture and ability to retain moisture drops significantly. This makes your skin lose elasticity and show signs of aging. HA plays an important role in your skin health with its impressive capabilities to retain moisture.

Besides improving your skin’s moisture content, HA also helps strengthen your skin’s barrier (outer layers of your skin). What this means for you is a healthier, softer, smoother and plumper skin! Imagine having baby smooth skin..

And if you’re still not impressed, there’s more that Hyaluronic Acid offers! HA also provides your skin with antioxidant defence against oxidative damage, free radicals and reduces inflammation!

Here’s the thing, a lot of things, ranging from sun damage to acne and sensitive skin could lead to a damaged skin barrier. So repairing your skin’s barrier with hyaluronic acid helps you fix and minimise those issues. And as these are issues faced irregardless of skin type, HA is helpful for all skin types.

What’s best is its lightweight texture, especially in a hot tropical climate such as ours and for people with oily skin or combination skin. It is also gentle enough that it doesn’t irritate even the most sensitive of skins.

Unlike certain other ingredients, HA is also safe to be used even if you’re expecting or breastfeeding.
