According to my dermatologist, hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in the skin.
It helps to bind water to collagen, trapping it in the skin, so that skin can appear plumper and dewier.
In layman’s terms, it’s an ingredient that our body already produces—and a must-have to keep mature skin looking hydrated.
Supplementing hyaluronic acid through moisturizers and serums can help by creating a barrier that retains water in the skin.
Formulated with watermelon extract and centella asiatica to smooth the appearance of fine lines, it can be applied all over the face and targeted on dry patches as needed.
It’s tough to beat the price of The Ordinary’s serum, but you aren’t sacrificing quality.
