Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a powerhouse humectant, a type of molecule that draws in and retains moisture. It is found naturally throughout our bodies, especially in the skin, where it acts like a sponge to keep everything hydrated, plump, and supple. Its remarkable ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water makes it one of the most effective and popular hydrating ingredients in skincare.
When applied to the skin, Hyaluronic Acid provides an immediate surge of moisture, helping to alleviate dryness and dehydration. This plumping effect also works to temporarily soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, dewier complexion. By keeping the skin well-hydrated, it also plays a crucial role in supporting a healthy, resilient skin barrier.
To get the most out of this super-hydrator, application is key. Because it works by pulling in moisture, it should always be applied to damp skin and immediately sealed in with a moisturizer. This gives the HA a reservoir of water to draw from. At sylvaia, we focus on the science of application to ensure you unlock the full potential of every ingredient in your routine.
