HYALURONIC ACID (HA, SODIUM HYALURONATE, HYALURONAN, HYALURONATE)

NOT REALLY AN ACID, THIS SUGAR IS PRESENT IN OUR SKIN NATURALLY BUT DEPLETES WITH AGE. ONE HA MOLECULE CAN HOLD UP TO 1,000 TIMES ITS WEIGHT IN WATER, SO MAKES AN EXCELLENT INJECTIBLE FILLER, BUT IT ALSO WORKS WELL WHEN APPLIED TOPICALLY IN CREAMS AND SERUMS. IT STRENGTHENS THE SKIN’S BARRIER TO KEEP HOLD OF HYDRATION, EFFECTIVELY PLUMPS AND SMOOTHES. A BRILLIANT ALL-ROUNDER NO REGIME SHOULD BE WITHOUT. TRY IT IN SkinCeuticals H.A. intensifier, £82.95; NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex 2, £25; Vichy Minéral 89, £25
