We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: When it comes to skincare, hydration is key. And we’re not just talking about your mama’s old-school cold cream. Trade in your outdated topical treatments for science-backed versions containing hyaluronic acid. What is hyaluronic acid and why are our trusted estheticians so gung-ho? We have answers.
Naturally found in the body, and when applied to the dermis, this thirst-quenching element creates fullness and locks in moisture (this is key as we age and lose elasticity). With product options in the forms of creams, serums, masks, cover-ups—you’ve got this “fountain of youth” thing down pat. Send hydration levels into overdrive with these clinically tested medicine cabinet requisites.
