Why the Beauty World is Obsessed With Hyaluronic Acid!

Have you heard of Hyaluronic Acid?  If you're not familiar with this skin care ingredient, you're probably thinking it's a peel?   Well, it's actually an incredibly powerful ingredient that has nothing to do with exfoliating.  It's the key to super hydrated, plumped, glowy skin!

The basics.

Hyaluronic Acid is a natural compound - we're all born with in our bodies and like most of the good stuff, it decreases with age.  Hyaluronic Acid is found in our joints, muscles and in our skin - it's kind of the CRC of the body - without it we'd become brittle and dry.

Why is it good in skin care?

As an ingredient, the easiest way to describe Hyaluronic Acid is that it is a 'dermal filler'.  It's most magical property is that it can absorb and hold 1000 times its weight in water.  By holding lots of water, it fills out wrinkles.

An equally impressive quality is that it preserves collagen, which in turn firms and plumps up the skin.

Where can I find it?

This must have ingredient is making it's way into ranges you can easily slip into your trolley, or pick up at your local pharmacy or department store.  One range making waves with our reviewers at the moment is the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler range, consisting of a serum and day, night and eye cream,

Can I boost my skin care regime with Hyaluronic Acid?

If you want an intensive treatment with Hyaluronic Acid, check out the Top Rated Revitalift Filler Sheet Mask and Ampoules, again by L'Oreal Paris.

What else do I need to know about using Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid is like a water magnet - it draws water to itself.  So for the best results you should apply it to damp skin.  If you suffer from dry skin, or you apply it to skin that isnt damp, the Hyaluronic Acid will pull moisture from the skin, leaving it dryer in the long run.   Mist your face before applying your Hyaluronic treatment and lock it in with a moisturiser after, and you're set to experience your plumpest, most hydrated skin ever!

The reviews fir the filler range are very good!

I've never tried it. Of course I've seen the ads but assumed it was some sort of exfoliating ingredient.

I'd be keen to try it especially on my forehead and around my eyes where I'm getting some fine lines now.

I've heard a little bit about Hyaluronic Acid as it seems to be a very popular type of product at the moment, but personally havent tried it myself. Interested to know more though.

Sounds like I need to try this. Thanks for all the info xx

7th August, 2019

Applying it to damp skin is such a great tip, thanks BR!!

I have never heard of Hyaluronic Acid, and definitely don't know how to pronounce it either! Description sounds amazing though.

Never tried it before... but article is very informative and needless to say, I will be giving it a go!

7th August, 2019

I will definitely be getting some of the sheet masks! Sounds amazing!

7th August, 2019

Very informative article, will definitely be trying this - hydration is important to me. Good tip apply to damp skin so as not to reverse the effect of the acid!

I love it! I've tried a few products with hyaluronic acid before, and found them a lot more effective at hydrating my skin. Would love to try this range out!

7th August, 2019

Never used it before but does sound interesting and would be keen to give the range a try

7th August, 2019

Yes! I love HA and use several products with it in. My favourite is the Hada Labo serum which I bought super cheap in Japan. I use a mist before and after using to lock in all the goodness. Clinique Moisture Surge is also a good HA range.

I've never used a product with hyaluronic acid in it, using it on damp skin is very interesting. I'm going to give Revitalift a go!

7th August, 2019

Wow I always thought it was to do with a peel. How wrong was I?

7th August, 2019

I've been using hyaluronic acid for around a year now. My skin has never looked as good. A lot more hydrated and feels softer. I'm always a lover of affordable brands so will definitely try out the recommend Loreal ones when I run out of my current bottle. I had no idea you were supposed to use it with damp skin! Will definitely be ensuring I use that method from now on
