What exactly is hyaluronic acid anyway?

Hyaluronic acid may have the word "acid" in its name, but it's not an exfoliating acid like glycolic or salicylic. It's a humectant that draws in water or moisture to your face. It basically keeps our complexion moist, which makes it a great ingredient for serums and moisturizers. It's non-comedogenic, so it's safe for oily and acne-prone skin. It's also naturally found in our bodies, specifically, our ligaments and tendons need to be lubricated for them to function.

In some cases, cosmetic manufacturers use sodium hyaluronate, a derived form of hyaluronic acid. It is a more stable version and it has a lower molecular size. It penetrates deep into the layers of the skin instead of sitting at the surface.

How do I use hyaluronic acid?

The proper use of hyaluronic acid has been controversial. When you are in a dry room with poor ventilation and you apply an HA product, your complexion will be drier than before. If you ask us, the best hyaluronic acid product to use is in the form of serums. You can simply layer a serum on prepped skin—preferably with a hydrating toner—then, seal it in an occlusive moisturizer or face oil. Problem solved!

TL;DR: If you're looking for a basic glow-boosting skincare product, go for a hyaluronic acid serum.
