Commonly Known As
Sodium Hyaluronate
What It Does
Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the skin and provides major hydration and retains moisture in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is also an antioxidant that fights against free radicals
Why It Works
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, meaning it is a naturally occurring substance that hydrates the skin. It is also a humectant that works to moisturize and hydrate skin by drawing in moisture from its surroundings and locking it in the skin. Hyaluronic acid works extremely well because of its ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water, keeping skin plump.
