Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid keeps collagen synthesis up, as well as retaining skin moisture in the harsh Australian sun, and is also one of the leading hydrating ingredients for skin, even for oily, sensitive, or breakout-prone skin.

Dermatologists have long sung the praises of Hyaluronic Acid. In fact in such circles Hyaluronic Acid is routinely reported as the moisturiser and humectant. For the uninitiated a humectant reduces loss of moisture, has excellent anti-wrinkle effects and promotes cell growth.

So what makes Hyaluronic Acid so effective? The answer lies in its ability to hydrate skin, a function of its unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules. Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. Given hydration is the foundation of any skin care regime Hyaluronic Acid is a highly recommended addition.
