What is hyaluronic acid?
The hydrating humectant that holds 1000× its weight in water. Used correctly, it's a gamechanger. Used wrong, it can dehydrate.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally found in skin that binds and holds water. Topical HA draws moisture into the skin's upper layers.
The biggest mistake: applying to dry skin in dry air. In low humidity, HA can pull moisture from deeper skin out to the surface, dehydrating you.
Always apply to damp skin, seal with moisturiser immediately.

Molecular weight affects function
Low molecular weight penetrates deeper. High molecular weight hydrates surface.
Best products include multiple weights (listed as 'multi-weight' or 'multi-molecular').
