Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant composed of disaccharide (sugar) chains found in every tissue of the human body. It is present in high concentrations within the skin and in the fluids around the eyes and joints. Hyaluronic acid serums that contain this powerful natural humectant provide long-lasting hydration to improve the look of skin texture and plumpness.

Hyaluronic acid serums can also include other beneficial ingredients for the skin, such as vitamin B5 (found in SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel), soothing botanicals (Phyto Corrective Gel), exfoliating ingredients (Retexturizing Activator), and skin-brightening kojic acid (Phyto +). These ingredients combine the benefits of hyaluronic acid for skin hydration while targeting additional skin concerns.

Featuring the body's natural hydrator, hyaluronic acid serums are excellent moisturizers when applied topically. This powerful natural humectant provides long-lasting hydration to improve the look and feel of skin texture. When formulated with additional ingredients that target specific skin concerns such as sensitivity, rough surface texture, and skin discoloration, serums with hyaluronic acid can provide hydration along with extra skin benefits.

Aging skin can experience moisture loss that causes a decrease in firmness, plumpness, and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid serums are formulated with a fundamental molecule that helps maintain the skin’s moisture content due to its unique capability to attract and retain water. The benefits of serums with hyaluronic acid include long-lasting hydration that helps skin look younger and feel smoother, firmer, and appear plumper.

As the skin ages, the hyaluronic acid found in the body begins to slowly diminish or lose its function, contributing to dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles, rough patches, and a loss of firmness. Depending on the serum and your skin type, hyaluronic acid serums can provide a multitude of benefits to the skin. Adding serums with hyaluronic acid to your daily skincare regimen will not only provide hydration to the skin, but can also help improve skin texture and give skin a more plump appearance. SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier is formulated with high concentrations of pure hyaluronic acid and is proven to amplify skin’s hyaluronic acid levels by 30% to improve skin’s texture and provide long-lasting hydration.

A SkinCeuticals skincare professional can recommend the ideal hyaluronic acid serums for your skin type and unique skin concerns.

Those with oily skin often erroneously think they should avoid extra hydration to prevent clogged pores. Oil-free, non-comedogenic hyaluronic acid serums help maintain skin moisture levels without leaving a sticky, tacky feel or clogging the pores. SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel is a lightweight moisturizing serum that features hyaluronic acid for skin hydration. It attracts moisture and provides long-lasting hydration that’s ideal for oily skin.

SkinCeuticals hyaluronic acid serums are non-comedogenic, which means they will not clog pores or contribute to acne. Those with blemish-prone skin can safely use hyaluronic acid for skin hydration without worry.

Hyaluronic acid serums should be applied once or twice daily for optimal hydration. If using hyaluronic acid for skin hydration in the morning, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum sunscreen. If using a retinol at night, be sure to use hyaluronic acid serums after your retinol application.

Those with oily or blemish-prone skin can use hyaluronic acid serums on their own as a stand-alone moisturizer. Those with drier skin can layer serums with hyaluronic acid with other moisturizers for extra hydration.

Absolutely, and serums with hyaluronic acid can help replenish skin moisture to offset the dryness associated with retinol. Whether using retinol to improve visible signs of skin aging or to prevent clogged pores that contribute to acne, hyaluronic acid serums are a valuable addition to any skincare regimen that includes retinol.
