You’ve probably heard the term “hyaluronic acid” floating around skincare these days. You might be thinking if it’s safe or not for your skin or if there are any hyaluronic acid side effects you should be aware of.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Though the word “acid” may sound scary in reference to something you put on your face, don’t worry, it doesn’t burn. Quite the opposite, in fact, hyaluronic for skin packs a ton of skin-boosting benefits, including mega moisture! It’s become an increasingly popular ingredient in serums and moisturizers for its superpower hydrating and anti-aging abilities.
I’m proud of my Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum – I hand-selected the natural ingredients, like Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, and offered a high amount of hyaluronic (20%). Here’s a link to check it out. My other favorite products with hyaluronic are the Bioelements Absolute Moisture, Dermalogica UltraSmoothing Eye Serum, and the Dermaquest Perfecting Primer. There’s even scientific research backing hyaluronic acid’s effectiveness.
Today, I’m delighted to bring you the top 26 things you need to know about hyaluronic so you can learn about what it is, what it does, and how it can help you!
What Does Hyaluronic Acid Do?
1. Hyaluronic acid (HA), or hyaluronan, is a carbohydrate molecule that is naturally occurring in our bodies. That’s right, it’s already in your skin!
2. HA provides lubrication to the connective tissues of our joints and skin and is an important part of our skin’s overall health.
3. HA is present in many areas of your body including your eyes, internal fluids, and connective tissue, but much of it is in your skin, which accounts for 50% of your body’s total HA level.
4. Even though it occurs naturally in our bodies, HA is a super popular skincare ingredient. Don’t worry, the type that’s in skincare isn’t taken from people; it’s replicated in a lab.
