What is Hyaluronic acid?

Acne vulgaris is an ongoing issue that many of us deal with on a daily basis. There are many products, oils, serums and magic spells on the market, designed to help with our skin issues, but how do we choose what is right for us?

You’ve probably heard of Hyaluronic Acid doing the rounds on social media and skincare ad campaigns. It’s all the rage at the moment, and we’re about to explain why.

Recent research suggests that Hyaluronic Acid is highly effective for retaining moisture in your skin. Eliminating dry skin can get rid of many underlying causes of dry cells that build up and cause oil production to spike into overdrive. Therefore, Hyaluronic Acid can potentially help with oily skin.

Not only does Hyaluronic Acid help lock in moisture, it can help reduce the redness and visible appearance of acne. 

Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in our bodies. It is found in our skin, eyes and connective tissues. It binds to water to help keep the skin complexion glowing and healthy. Due to many factors, like the natural ageing process, exposure to UV and applying harsh chemicals to the skin, the amount of hyaluronic acid that our body can naturally store is depleted. This can be the biggest contribution to rough and dull looking skin with blocked pores. 

Without a significant amount of hydration, skin cells become dry. They are unable to move through the dead skin cell removal cycle. This can cause the hair follicles to become clogged and more prone to breakouts.

Add a plant-based Hyaluronic Acid serum to your skincare routine to improve your skin's tone and texture, and to treat cysts and blemishes.
