Hydration, plumping effect, radiance… Probably these are the best-known benefits of hyaluronic acid, a widely used ingredient in cosmetics that many turn to regardless of age or season. But what exactly is special about it and why is it so essential?
Hyaluronic acid is acclaimed for a unique capacity in nature: it can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It is, essentially, a molecular “sponge” that our skin naturally produces to stay hydrated, flexible, and with a healthy appearance. In other words, a very good ally to maintain the skin’s well-being.
As you may know, with the passage of time, its production declines, promoting the appearance of dehydration, expression lines, and loss of volume, and this is where this active becomes indispensable. Thus, one of the best ingredients you can turn to.
And as with any other active, the best way to experience its benefits is to do it with a serum. These products offer much more concentrated and effective formulas, unlike creams that have other functions such as sealing in moisture. And these are some of our favorites.
