Hyaluronic acid is an incredible humectant, meaning it attracts and binds water - up to 1,000 times its weight! But here’s the catch: if there’s no water around for it to pull from the environment, it will pull it from your own skin, leading to dryness and irritation. Why it can back fire- 💦 HA acts like a sponge. 💧 In humid environments, it draws water from the air → plumping and hydrating your skin. 🌵 In dry climates or low humidity, there’s no water in the air to grab, so it pulls moisture

Laura Hayes on Instagram: "How they compare ⤵️ Hyaluronic acid is a humectant which means that it draws water into your skin. It’s a very effective humectant. However, IMO it’s a little overhyped. 💧Glycerin and polyglutamic acid do pretty much the same thing as HA, with PGA also inhibiting an enzyme (hyaluronidase) that breaks down your skin’s natural HA. Less hyaluronidase activity = more HA 💧N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) is required for your body to produce HA (it’s a HA precursor

Madison Prettyman on Instagram: "HA is a humectant that helps retain moisture and can bind to 1000 times its weight in water. This is an awesome ingredient to help keep your skin hydrated UNLESS there is no moisture in the air or in its surroundings to bind to. If you live in a super dry environment, HA might end up pulling water from deep in your epidermis, and can end up dehydrating your skin. I thinks it’s always better to be safe than sorry and spritz your face with water before application.

Hyaluronic acid is humectant, meaning it can draw in moisture to increase hydration and plumpness. A clinicaly study showed that using hyaluronic acid serum three times daily on lips was an effective treatment to increase lip fullness and hydration, and also improve lip texture and lip rosiness. Topical hyaluronic acid is a great subtle alternative to lip filler. #hyaluronicacid #plumplips #drylips #skincaretips #chappedlips
