Naturally occurs in our skin and when applied topically helps to plump, and hydrate. Hyaluronic acid also reduces inflammation, prevents water loss and boosts skin’s elasticity, minimising the look of fine lines.
The Verdict: Hyaluronic acid absolutely hydrates and plumps the skin. Whenever you read a blog about the benefits of hyaluronic acid it will contain the very marketable claim that hyaluronic acid holds 1000 times its weight in water. What does that actually mean? Hyaluronic acid is a small molecule so as to how much added water it causes the skin to retain, I am unsure? Does it even matter? All that you need to know it that it does hydrate and plump the skin. You are buying a serum or a moisturiser not a chamois.
