Hyaluronic Acid and Hydration: The Foundation of Healthy-Looking Skin

Hydration is the foundation every other skincare step is built on. Skin that's well hydrated looks plumper, smoother and more radiant — and copes better with active ingredients. At the centre of modern hydration is hyaluronic acid, the humectant that gives skin its dewy bounce.

Why hydration matters so much

Dehydrated skin looks dull and shows fine “dehydration lines” that plump away once moisture returns. A hydrated, comfortable skin barrier also tolerates actives better and looks healthier overall.

How hyaluronic acid works

Hyaluronic acid holds up to a thousand times its weight in water, drawing moisture into skin to plump and smooth. Apply it to damp skin and seal with a moisturiser so it pulls water in rather than out.
