Hyaluronic Acid Skin Care Products

Hyaluronic acid is a skin care sweetheart ingredient because it helps to hold water inside your skin – up to 1000 times its weight in water, which is huge! Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it chemically holds onto the water molecule to retain it inside your skin. Compare this to occlusives (think oils, petrolatum, dimethicone etc.) that slow water loss by creating a seal on top of the skin to prevent evaporation.

Know that unless you intervein, your skin will lose water into the air, becoming dehydrated, limp and crepey. The most effective way to hold water inside your skin is with a combination of humectants and occlusives in your skin care routine. Many of my products contain hyaluronic acid including toners, moisturizers and others. Hyaluronic acid is an important skin care ingredient that readily penetrates into your skin to help skin resist dryness. You will find hyaluronic acid in all the products listed below.

You can also use an advanced hyaluronic acid serum made with fractionated hyaluronic acid to get the maximal results possible from this water-holding sponge. Fractionated hyaluronic acid is made from multiple size polymer hyaluronic acid molecules. These stratify through all the layers of your skin as they are absorbed, holding water for maximal results. Find this in my Instantly Luminous Multi-Action Serum, which also contains additional humectants that specifically hold water to keratin protein to enhance suppleness, plumping and hydration to reverse fine lines and wrinkles and crepey skin.
