Hyaluronic acid is a humectant – it holds many times its own weight in water, which is why skin looks plumper and more cushioned after using it. Despite the name it doesn't exfoliate and won't sting; it's one of the gentlest things you can put on your face.
The one thing worth knowing: hyaluronic acid draws water, so it needs sealing in with a moisturiser afterwards, and it works best applied to slightly damp skin. Used on dry skin in dry air without anything over the top, it can leave skin feeling tighter rather than softer. Part of our active skincare range.
