What is Hyaluronic Acid?

A powerful moisturizer that attracts 1000 times its weight in water

Maintains skin moisture and enhances elasticity, available in low and high molecular weight forms.

Key properties & actions

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally present in the skin's dermis, and it is known to have the property of drawing in and holding water at hundreds to thousands of times its own weight. Depending on molecular size, high-molecular forms form a film on the surface while low-molecular forms reach comparatively deeper layers. It has the characteristic that the body's content decreases with age.

How to manage

Applying it right after cleansing while the skin is moist so it draws in water, then covering it with a cream or oil to prevent water evaporation, is the generally recommended method. Used alone in a dry environment it can actually feel tight, so it is best to use it together with a moisturizer.

Good to know alongside

Using it together with other moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides and glycerin can help retain water. Formulas blending low- and high-molecular forms are used for broad-spectrum hydration.

Everyday care tips

In a dry indoor space, using a humidifier alongside it, or applying it after a mist, can help create an environment where hyaluronic acid draws in water.
