What is a Hyaluronic Acid Serum?
Hyaluronic Acid, also known as hyaluronan, is a carbohydrate molecule found throughout the body that binds and retains water in the skin. It has become recognised as one of the most hydrating skincare ingredients in the world.
While hyaluronic acid is produced naturally by the body, our levels start to decrease as we age, making the skin more prone to ageing signs and a loss of elasticity. But, by adding it topically with skincare, such as a highly concentrated serum, hyaluronic acid can help to deliver moisture directly to the epidermis, plumping and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the overall skin tone.
Hear from Aesthetic Doctor Ana Mansouri, on why hyaluronic acid is a key skincare ingredient:
Hyaluronic Acid is naturally occurring in the skin but we can actually lose up to 50% of our own hyaluronic acid within 24 hours alone. That's why we often need to replenish this externally using skincare products.
When to Use Hyaluronic Acid Serum?
Hyaluronic acid is a very gentle ingredient that’s generally suitable for all skin types including sensitive and blemish-prone, so it can be used twice a day. Apply a serum with hyaluronic acid after cleansing, toning and your usual vitamin C or corrective serum. Pat 4 to 6 drops into the skin and follow with a moisturiser to seal in the hydration.
What Are the Benefits of Using a Hyaluronic Acid Serum?
If you have very dry and dehydrated skin, hyaluronic acid can help to make an immediate difference to your skin. It should start to feel softer and smoother and retain moisture for longer periods throughout the day. This is due to the way it strengthens the skin barrier and helps it hold onto water. Over time, hyaluronic acid can also help to reduce sensitivity as this skin barrier becomes more resilient. Lines and wrinkles will also appear less visible as skin elasticity and plumpness is improved.
