Hyaluronic acid works by improving skin hydration and assists in the production of collagen. Not sold yet? It also has been proven to fight free radicals, maintains skin elasticity, and even has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help with wound healing.
It's easy to see why hyaluronic acid is an essential ingredient in serums and moisturisers that can be used on oily skin and dry skin types. While dehydrated skin and sensitive skin also experience a vast improvement in skin elasticity and texture from continued use.
Hyaluronic acid can be injected into sunken areas of skin to plump it up and minimize the appearance of fine lines - AKA fillers - but you don’t need to get cosmetic injections to reap its benefits.
Just choose an anti-aging topical treatment boosted with hyaluronic acid (also commonly listed as Sodium Hyaluronate) for improved skin tone, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Here, best hyaluronic acid formulas...
