Hyaluronic acid really is a hydrating powerhouse. It’s a powerful humectant that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water (so it will give your skin a huge boost of hydration!). It attracts moisture from the environment and draws it to your skin so it’s deeply hydrating and plumping.
Don’t let the word ‘acid’ put you off – this acid is naturally produced by our bodies (it’s present in the joints to maintain mobility). As we age, our hyaluronic acid levels start to decline, resulting in drier skin as we get older.
If you’re not already using a hyaluronic acid serum in your skincare routine, it’s time to pick one up! All skin types can benefit from this amazing skincare ingredient.
We’ve rounded up some of the best hyaluronic acid serums below that will help hydrate, soften and plum your skin.
