This water-loving molecule is actually found naturally in your skin. A humectant — meaning that it helps preserve or retain moisture — Hyaluronic Acid is a trusted skincare ingredient in hydrating formulas. In fact, one molecule of Hyaluronic Acid can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water!
Hyaluronic Acid was first used in skincare in the 1960s, but was incorporated into a large assortment of cosmetic and skincare formulas starting in the 1990s. It’s easily one of the most popular hydrating ingredients in skincare, thanks to its ability to work in a wide variety of formulas and with an array of other skin-healthy ingredients and extracts. At Kiehl’s, you can find Hyaluronic Acid in everything from our eye serums to our hair conditioners. Keep reading to learn more about this versatile ingredient, how it works, and how best to add Hyaluronic Acid into your skincare routine.
Hyaluronic Acid helps replenish skin to boost hydration and improve skin’s elasticity. Since it is already naturally occurring in skin, it is highly compatible with skin making it a trusted and effective skincare ingredient. As you age, Hyaluronic Acid levels decrease and adding a moisturizer or face serum with Hyaluronic Acid can help plump and hydrate skin.
As a humectant, Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture into the skin and helps maintain moisture levels to visibly smooth and plump skin for ultimate hydration. In addition to boosting hydration, Hyaluronic Acid benefits skin by helping to:
Skin loses moisture and Hyaluronic Acid with age which can cause skin to become dehydrated. When skin is dry or dehydrated, fine lines, wrinkles and rough texture are often more visible. Using hydrating products with Hyaluronic Acid can help visibly improve lines and wrinkles for smoother, younger-looking skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate is actually a form of Hyaluronic Acid. Like Hyaluronic Acid, it works as a moisturizing agent within skincare formulas to help replenish, hydrate and refine skin’s texture. Kiehl’s also formulates some products with Sodium Hyaluronate Filling Spheres which are actually dehydrated molecules which contain Hyaluronic Acid. These spheres rehydrate and absorb water within skin’s surface to help plump and smooth.
Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid is a form of Hyaluronic Acid that is in tiny pieces that are more easily able to penetrate the surface layers of skin.
Every product with Hyaluronic Acid is different so it is important to look for formulas for your skin type and skin needs. Hyaluronic Acid by itself is a lightweight molecule so it can be an effective ingredient in formulas for oily skin . While oily skin may feel greasy, it can actually be dehydrated (lacking in water) and need the moisture boost of a lightweight hydrator. Products with Hyaluronic Acid are often beloved by dry and dehydrated skin types who benefit from hydrating and moisturizing formulas to plump and smooth skin with moisture.
The name "Hyaluronic Acid" comes from the Greek word, "Hyalos" which means "glass." "Uronic" is a term for a sugar that is found in the molecule.
