Hyaluronic Acid: Why We Love This Key Ingredient

Hyaluronic Acid: Why We Love This Key Ingredient

"Wait... acid...? On my face...?"

Trust us on this one, okay? 

You + your skin are gonna love this.

Here's why:

Why is Hyaluronic Acid all the rage in skincare?

Because of its unique ability to retain the moisture that our skin adores.

Although the word “acid” might leave some new skincare shoppers a bit timid when shopping for the next best serum or moisturizer, rest assured, our bodies are already familiar with this ingredient.

In fact, our bodies produce Hyaluronic Acid naturally to help us retain moisture in our skin. And *fun fact*: Hyaluronic Acid is also found in our eyes, joints, and connective tissue. 

There’s bad news to this though. We produce less and less hyaluronic acid as we age and as a result, our skin becomes drier and less elastic - causing us to develop deep-set wrinkles.  


BUT WAIT, DON'T GO! THERE’S GOOD NEWS:

This. is. why. Hyaluronic Acid works wonderfully as an anti-aging component in face creams and serums, as it can hold over 1,000 times its weight in water. So cool, right?

A little recap:

THE BENEFITS

  • Skin Hydration - keeps your skin moisturized and radiant
  • Anti-Wrinkle Properties - with its capacity to retain large amounts of water, skin stays moisturized, while simultaneously preventing the development of wrinkles and filling in already present wrinkles to reduce their appearance
  • Healing Properties - applying Hyaluronic Acid to wounds has been shown to help with reduce the size of surface wounds on the skin, and aid with pain relief of these areas

Now you know, it’s no wonder why we love this key ingredient.
