Beyond the label
Hydration, without the guesswork.
Hyaluronic acid is a moisturizing ingredient. Your skin type, the product’s texture and the rest of its formula matter too.

A few things to know
01What does hyaluronic acid do in skincare?
Hyaluronic acid helps hold water and supports skin hydration. It appears in many moisturizers and serums; the complete formula determines how a product feels and performs.
02Why are products with sodium hyaluronate included?
Sodium hyaluronate is a salt form of hyaluronic acid used in skincare. This selection includes recorded forms such as sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. Check each product’s full label for its exact formulation.
03Should I choose a serum or a moisturizer?
Choose the texture and routine that suit you. A serum is an additional step; a moisturizer combines moisturizing ingredients in one formula. You do not need both just because both contain hyaluronic acid.
04How should I use my product?
Follow the directions on the individual product label. Introduce one new product at a time and stop using it if irritation occurs. Hyaluronic acid does not replace sunscreen in your daytime routine.
