FAQ

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, primarily found in the skin, connective tissues, and eyes. It's a type of glycosaminoglycan, which is a key component of the extracellular matrix that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. In skincare formulations, it can be derived naturally and synthetically and is well renowned for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an exceptional humectant.

But wait, it gets better! Our 3D Hyaluronic Serum features the active ingredient Hylasome which holds 5000 times its weight in water. It boasts a three-dimensional approach to hydration which targets the skin at three depths, making it one of the best hyaluronic acids on the market. Think of them like a big drink of water for your skin, keeping it looking plump, firm, dewy and fresh.

What are the benefits of using hyaluronic acid skin care?

When applied topically, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the environment into the skin, helping to hydrate and plump the skin's surface. This can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve the skin's overall texture and elasticity.

Are hyaluronic acid skin care products suitable for all skin types?

Hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, as it's lightweight, non-comedogenic, and generally well-tolerated. It's a versatile ingredient commonly found in moisturisers, serums, masks, and other skincare products aimed at providing hydration and promoting a healthy, youthful complexion.

Who should be using hyaluronic acid skin care products?

Hyaluronic acid skincare products can benefit a wide range of skins, thanks to their versatile and hydrating properties. Here's who might consider incorporating hyaluronic acid into their skincare routine:

• Dry Skin Types - Individuals with dry skin often struggle with dehydration and flakiness. Hyaluronic acid can help attract and retain moisture in the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and improving the skin's texture and suppleness. Our 3D Hyaluronic Serum is the best hyaluronic acid for dry skin as it covers three molecular weights (high, medium and low) which works on moisturisation in the epidermis of the skin.

• Mature Skin - As we age, our skin's natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease, leading to a loss of firmness, elasticity, and moisture. Hyaluronic acid skincare products can help replenish and restore hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Our 3D Hyaluronic Serum is the best hyaluronic acid for mature skin as it covers three molecular weights (high, medium and low) which is anti-aging, prevents tissue degradation that results in wrinkles, and stimulates the synthesis of pro-collagen.

• Sensitive Skin - Hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin types, as it's lightweight, non-irritating, and non-comedogenic. It provides gentle hydration without causing irritation or clogging pores, making it suitable for those with sensitive or reactive skin.

• Oily and Acne-Prone Skin - Despite having oily or acne-prone skin, individuals still need hydration to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid skin care can provide lightweight, non-greasy hydration without exacerbating oiliness or causing breakouts.

• Combination Skin - Hyaluronic acid skin care products are suitable for combination skin types, as it hydrates dry areas without making oily areas feel greasy. It helps balance the skin's moisture levels, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and balanced.

• Anyone Concerned with Hydration - Even if you don't have specific skin concerns like dryness or aging, hyaluronic acid skin care can still be beneficial for maintaining optimal hydration levels in the skin. It's a versatile ingredient that can benefit virtually anyone looking to boost moisture and maintain a healthy complexion.

Overall, hyaluronic acid skincare products are versatile and suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. Whether you're dealing with dryness, aging, sensitivity, or simply want to maintain hydrated and healthy skin, incorporating hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine can be beneficial.

Is Hyaluronic Acid good for a damaged skin barrier?

Yes, hyaluronic acid can be beneficial for damaged skin barriers. When the skin barrier is compromised, it can lead to symptoms such as dryness, irritation, redness, and increased sensitivity. Incorporating hyaluronic acid skin care into your routine can help hydrate and plump the skin, which supports the skin’s natural barrier function.

Hyaluronic acid skin care products usually have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate discomfort and irritation associated with a damaged skin barrier. It can help calm redness, reduce itching, and promote overall skin comfort while the barrier heals. It is also generally well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive and damaged skin. The lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for use on compromised skin without further aggravating irritation or causing breakouts.

Our 3D Hyaluronic Serum is the best hyaluronic acid for damaged skin barrier as it covers three molecular weights (high, medium and low) which is anti-inflammatory, would healing and anti-microbial while deeply adding moisturisation in the epidermis which is essential for skin barrier repair.

How should I incorporate hyaluronic acid skin care products into my routine?

Incorporating hyaluronic acid skincare into your routine is relatively straightforward and can be customised based on your skin type and concerns. Start by cleansing the skin with your favourite O cleanser, then apply your corrector serums including hyaluronic acid, layering from thinnest to thickest consistency. Follow up with your O hydrator to seal in the hydration and eye care products if using any. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen during daytime!

When should I start using hyaluronic acid skin care?

Using hyaluronic acid skin care can benefit your skin at any age or stage. However, the ideal time to incorporate hyaluronic acid products depends on your skin's specific needs and concerns. We generally recommend using hyaluronic acid skin care products at the first sign of skin dehydration and dryness, as a preventative measure and when addressing aging concerns. Your skin may also benefit from using hyaluronic skin care during seasonal changes and before in-clinic treatments to ensure optimum cell response. Ultimately, there's no specific age or timeframe for introducing hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine. Listen to your skin's needs, observe any changes or concerns, make sure you’re using the best hyaluronic acid for your skin and adjust your routine accordingly.

Does hyaluronic acid pair well with other skincare actives?

Yes, hyaluronic acid skin care pairs well with many other skincare actives and ingredients. Its lightweight, hydrating properties make it versatile and compatible with a wide range of skincare products. Here are some skincare actives that hyaluronic acid pairs well with:

• Vitamin C - Vitamin C is an antioxidant that brightens the skin and helps protect against environmental damage. When used alongside hyaluronic acid skin care products, it can provide additional skin-brightening benefits while hydrating and plumping the skin.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - Niacinamide is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. When combined with hyaluronic acid skin care, it can help improve the skin's barrier function, reduce redness, and minimise the appearance of pores.

• Retinoids (Retinol, Retinoic Ester, Retinaldehyde) - Retinoids are a type of vitamin A derivative that promotes skin cell turnover and collagen production. While retinoids can be drying or irritating to the skin, hyaluronic acid skin care products can help mitigate these side effects by providing hydration and supporting the skin's moisture barrier.

• Peptides - Peptides are amino acids that help stimulate collagen synthesis and improve skin elasticity. When paired with hyaluronic acid skin care, peptides can enhance the skin's firmness and hydration, promoting a more youthful complexion.

• Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) - Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and BHAs like glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. Hyaluronic acid skin care can help replenish moisture lost during exfoliation, preventing dryness and irritation.

It's essential to layer skincare actives in the correct order and to pay attention to any potential interactions or sensitivities. Start slowly when incorporating new products into your routine and listen to your skin's needs to determine the best combination of skincare actives for your individual concerns.
