Hyaluronic Acid for Skin: What It Does and How to Use It
Hyaluronic Acid pulls water into your skin and holds it there, so skin looks plumper and feels softer. It adds moisture, not oil, so it suits every skin type, including oily skin.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
It is a substance your skin already makes. In skincare it works as a humectant: it attracts water to the top layer of skin, which is why skin looks smoother and fresher after using it.
