About

Hyaluronic Acid sounds much scarier than it is and many of us wouldn't dream of putting acid on our faces. However, Hyaluronic Acid is actually a gel-like substance that has the unique ability to retain moisture. In fact, our bodies produce it naturally to help us retain moisture in our skin. It is also found in our eyes, joints, and connective tissue. We produce less and less Hyaluronic Acid as we age and our skin becomes drier and less elastic as a result, which causes us to develop deep-set wrinkles. This is why it works wonderfully as an anti-aging component in face creams and serums, as the Hyaluronic Acid can hold over 1,000 times its weight in water.

Dosage & Duration

Yes, you can use it twice a day as long as you're applying it to clean, damp skin, then locking it in with a moisturizer and face oil.

Benefits

Skin hydration
Keeps your skin moisturised and radiant.
Anti-wrinkle properties
Due to its capacity to retain large amounts of water, skin stays moisturised and helps to prevent the development of wrinkles, and fills in already present wrinkles to reduce their appearance.
Healing properties
Applying Hyaluronic Acid to wounds has been shown to help with reducing the size of surface wounds on the skin, and aid with pain relief of these areas.
Antioxidant
Helps to keep skin looking healthy.
Relieve Joint Pain by Keeping Bones Well Lubricated
Hyaluronic acid is also found in the joints, where it keeps the space between your bones well lubricated. When the joints are lubricated, the bones are less likely to grind against each other and cause uncomfortable pain. Hyaluronic acid supplements are very helpful for people suffering from osteoarthritis, a type of degenerative joint disease caused by wear and tear on the joints over time.
