BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID
DISCOVER HOW IT CAN ENHANCE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
It’s one of the hottest beauty trends at the moment, but hyaluronic acid is still a complete mystery to some of us. So, what exactly is it? And how does it work? Learn about the benefits of this spotlight ingredient and discover how it enriches our iconic Vitamin E skincare range.
WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?
Though it sounds scary – an acid near our face? No thank you – hyaluronic acid is a super gentle molecule that helps your skin retain water. It’s produced naturally by your skin cells and acts like a sponge that soaks up and locks in skin moisture. It’s basically a tall glass of water for your skin – one molecule can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water.* Pretty cool, huh?
By adding hyaluronic acid into beauty products, we can enhance the hydration process and give our skin a moisture boost.
So, how do we add it into our beauty products? We use 100% natural-origin hyaluronic acid which is purified before being infused into some of our products.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID?
BOOSTS SKIN’S MOISTURE
Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its unique ability to retain water moisture and hydrate the skin. By adding it into your skincare routine, you’re helping that hydration process, giving your skin even more valuable, rejuvenating moisture. And it works on all skin types – even oily – as hyaluronic acid brings balance to skin’s water-oil levels.
HELPS FORM A PROTECTIVE BARRIER
As we age, our skin’s natural protective barrier weakens and leaves our skin vulnerable to pollution and other environmental factors. But hyaluronic acid is known for helping to boost the skin’s hydration content which, in turn, helps to keep skin looking plump with moisture.
PLUMPS SKIN WITH MOISTURE
Hydration is key when it comes to helping skin look plumper. Not only does it absorb moisture that’s physically put onto your skin, but it also absorbs moisture from the air too. As your skin retains extra moisture, it’s left looking firmer. Any signs of fatigue don’t stand a chance against a fresh, hydrated complexion.
SOFTENS & SMOOTHS
And, of course, hyaluronic acid leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Working in the same way as it does to help tighten your skin’s texture, it ensures your skin is full of fresh moisture, which results in a silky finish (your foundation is going to glide onto your skin wonderfully!).

CAN YOU USE HYALURONIC ACID EVERY DAY?
Absolutely. Try using a serum or moisturiser enriched with hyaluronic acid, like our Vitamin E Moisture Day Cream. That way, you won’t have to add any new steps into your routine. And you’ll be helping to maintain your skin’s natural moisture barrier and helping to protect it against daily environmental aggressors, all while hydrating skin.
CAN YOU USE HYALURONIC ACID WITH VITAMIN C?
These two skincare heroes, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, pair perfectly together. You could try using a product that combines the two, but they tend to be more effective when used separately because they’re best absorbed at different pH levels. Try using our Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum beneath our Vitamin E Moisture Day Cream for a double whammy of radiance-reviving and hydration-boosting.
WHAT SKIN TYPE CAN USE HYALURONIC ACID?
Hyaluronic acid is generally very gentle and can be used on all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin. Our Vitamin E moisturisers are enriched with hyaluronic acid and designed to suit every skin type and concern, so there’s bound to be a formula that suits you.
