If your skin has ever felt tight, flaky, dull, or just off, chances are it’s crying out for hydration — and not the kind that comes from chugging another litre of water.
Enter Hyaluronic Acid: the gold-standard skincare ingredient that’s become a non-negotiable in any routine worth its salt. But despite being everywhere, it’s still widely misunderstood.
Let’s break down the science behind Hyaluronic Acid (HA), why your skin can’t get enough of it, and how it works hand-in-hand with ingredients like Silver Chitoderm® to keep your skin calm, clear, and glowier than your favourite Instagram filter.
Despite the slightly terrifying name, Hyaluronic Acid is actually a sugar molecule that’s found naturally in your body — especially in your skin, connective tissues, and eyes. Its superpower? Holding water. Lots of it.
Just one gram of HA can hold up to six litres of water. Yes, six. It's basically your skin’s built-in sponge, helping it stay plump, juicy, and resilient.
The problem? As we age, and thanks to environmental stressors like sun exposure and pollution, your natural stores of HA start to dip. Cue dryness, dullness, fine lines, and general skin tantrums.
When applied topically (like in serums or moisturisers), Hyaluronic Acid sits on or penetrates into the upper layers of your skin where it acts like a magnet, attracting and holding moisture.
Here’s what it does:
Draws in hydration from the environment or deeper skin layers
Creates a protective barrier that locks moisture in
Improves skin elasticity and firmness
Smooths fine lines by plumping from within
Think of it like a temporary filler — minus the needle. It doesn’t just make your skin feel better now, it also helps improve your skin’s long-term ability to retain moisture.
Hyaluronic Acid works within minutes to give skin that plumped, dewy look — without any grease or heaviness.
Because it reinforces your skin’s natural barrier, HA can calm down redness and help prevent further flare-ups — especially when paired with Silver Chitoderm®, which supports healing and antimicrobial protection.
Regular use leads to noticeably smoother skin. Think: fewer flakes, less roughness, more glow.
From oily to sensitive, blemish-prone to dry — HA plays nice with everyone. No stinging, no clogged pores, no drama.
Hydrated skin = more effective skincare. When your moisture barrier is healthy, all your other actives (like niacinamide, vitamin C or retinoids) work better too.
Yes, there’s a right way. Because while HA is a hero ingredient, it’s not magic unless you use it properly.
Hyaluronic Acid needs moisture to work. Applying it to bone-dry skin? You’ll get the opposite of plump.
Always follow your HA serum with a moisturiser to seal it in. Otherwise, it might pull water out of your skin, not into it.
Once in the morning. Once at night. That’s it. HA doesn’t need a complicated routine to work wonders.
