Hyaluronic acid: how to make it hydrate

A water magnet

Hyaluronic acid holds many times its weight in water, which is what makes skin look plumper and smoother. It needs water around it to work, so how you apply it matters as much as the product.

Apply it to damp skin

Press a few drops into skin that is still slightly damp from cleansing or a toner. Then seal it in with a moisturiser straight away, so the water stays in your skin rather than evaporating.

Hydration draws water in; moisturiser keeps it there.

It suits every skin type, including oily and sensitive skin, and layers easily under any other serum.
