Hyaluronic Acid Products for Skin

…

For visibly plump, hydrated skin, hyaluronic acid is essential in any skincare routine. Known for its ability to hold over 1,000 times its weight in water, it draws moisture into the skin’s upper layers, leaving the complexion looking smooth and refreshed. Ideal for targeting the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, hyaluronic acid effectively locks in hydration, helping skin appear visibly fuller and more youthful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does hyaluronic acid do?
Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding ingredient that helps keep skin hydrated, plump and smooth. It works by drawing water into the skin and holding it there, supporting a healthy skin barrier and giving the complexion a softer, more supple feel. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a staple for all skin types, especially those experiencing dryness or dehydration.

How often should you use hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid can be used once or twice a day as part of your morning and evening routines. It is gentle enough for daily use and works best when applied to slightly damp skin, followed by a moisturiser to lock in hydration. Medik8’s Hydr8 B5 Intense is a great daily option that layers easily with other products.

Is hyaluronic acid good for acne?

Yes, hyaluronic acid is a great option for blemish-prone skin, as it delivers essential hydration without adding excess oil. It’s also non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores. While it doesn’t directly treat breakouts, it plays an important supportive role by helping to maintain hydration and protect the skin barrier, which is often weakened by drying acne products. Well-hydrated skin is also more resilient and better able to tolerate active ingredients like salicylic acid or vitamin A, reducing the risk of irritation and flaking.

Should I apply hyaluronic acid to damp or dry skin?

For best results, apply hyaluronic acid to slightly damp skin. This helps the ingredient attract and bind water more effectively, enhancing hydration levels. After cleansing, gently pat your skin but leave it lightly moist before applying your hyaluronic acid serum. Follow with a moisturiser to seal in hydration and support long-lasting comfort.

Can hyaluronic acid help with a damaged skin barrier?

Yes, hyaluronic acid plays a key role in supporting a healthy skin barrier. By drawing moisture into the skin and helping it retain hydration, it strengthens the skin’s natural defences and promotes resilience. Well-hydrated skin is better equipped to repair itself, making hyaluronic acid a valuable part of any routine focused on restoring and maintaining skin barrier health.

Hyaluronic acid is a dynamic and impressive humectant, forming a key part of any skincare routine where the goal is to draw in and retain moisture. By boosting hydration levels, it helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and visibly improve skin softness and suppleness.

The foundation of balanced routines

Applied after cleansing, hyaluronic acid helps prep and hydrate the skin, creating the perfect base for the rest of your routine. It’s commonly found in serums, moisturisers and hydrating masks, and layers effortlessly into both morning and evening routines.

Thoughtfully formulated hydration

We use multi-weight hyaluronic acid in our targeted serums to deeply replenish and visibly plump the skin. But it doesn’t stop there.
