Guide to Using Hyaluronic Acid

By Dr Samridhi Sharma I Skin expert, FCL

What is Hyaluronic Acid & How it Works?

Hyaluronic acid is an essential molecule that contributes to 50% of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) which helps in providing firmness, maintenance, and production of collagen & elastin for skin health.
Did you know? Our body already makes hyaluronic acid but due to internal and external stressors, hyaluronic acid starts getting depleted from our body resulting in dullness, loose and saggy skin, fine lines, and wrinkles, and also contributes to poor skin maintenance. Hyaluronic acid when topically introduced into a skincare regimen can have multiple benefits acting as a powerful hydrator and humectant at the same time. This helps retain moisture and makes skin look plumpy and healthy from within thus giving it perfect radiance. It can be used in the form of moisturizers, toners, and serums to enhance the anti-inflammatory effect when applied directly to the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid acts as a supporting ingredient to so many other skincare actives which makes it unique.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

  2. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles Adding a hyaluronic acid serum to your daily regimen can help your skin have multiple anti-aging benefits. As we age the amount of skin damage our skin goes through is huge, Hyaluronic Acid acts as an antioxidant to protect the skin from the damaging molecules called free radicals thereby preventing the early signs of premature aging like saggy skin, dullness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
  3. Hyaluronic acid is safe for all skin types Did you know that hyaluronic acid can be used in the form of serum, toner, or moisturizer by anyone and everyone. It is safe for all skin types, even acne-prone skin as it helps in strengthening the skin barrier by hydrating the skin well. It is safe to be used during pregnancy and nursing as well.
