What is hyaluronic acid and how does it work?
What is hyaluronic acid?
“Hyaluronic Acid (which you might find hiding on the labels of some of your skincare products as HA), is naturally occurring in the human body”, says Dia Foley of Indeed Laboratories. The substance works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy.
Now for the science-y bit. Just a single gram of Hyaluronic Acid has the impressive ability to hold up to six (yep, six) litres of water. Add to that, a super smart ability to regulate that moisture within the cells, so as not to drown them and you've got one genius ingredient.
Why is hyaluronic acid so good for your skin?
If your skin isn't already lapping up the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid, this is why it should be:
1. If skin is sufficiently hydrated, it feels super-soft, plump and pillowy and looks so much more radiant. See ya, Insta-filter.
2. When skin is hydrated, lines and wrinkles (even the deeper ones) appear diminished, so it is a great ingredient for those with ageing skin who are desperate to cling on to their youthful perkiness.
3. It works wonders on everyone. “Hyaluronic Acid works for any skin type, says Dia Foley”, “even sensitive or breakout-prone skin, as well as those with an oily complexion.”
4. Recent research suggests that Hyaluronic Acid also has antioxidant properties, which means it can act like a shield against free radicals we aren't in control of, like pollution and other aggressors.
Is hyaluronic acid safe?
Yes!
Don't be put off by the name, because, unlike some acids, Hyaluronic Acid doesn't strip the skin or cause any downtime when applied topically.
“It is different than other acids which are used to exfoliate”, mentions Dr. Zamani. A natural and powerful moisture-binding substance, it delivers gentle hydration to where your skin needs it the most.
