What is hyaluronic acid?

First things first: What is hyaluronic acid exactly? Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally found in our skin, joints and connective tissue that has a varied set of functions depending on where you decide to focus your attention. Its many purposes are what make hyaluronic acid such an asset to the skin care and aesthetic world.

The skin

When found in the skin, hyaluronic acid functions as a hydrating agent that will give your skin elasticity and a youthful look. It does this by binding and retaining water molecules deep within the layers of your skin.

The joints

When found in the joints, hyaluronic acid helps with the lubrication of the space between your bones, so they are less likely to grind against each other and cause pain.

The connective tissue

When found in the connective tissue, hyaluronic acid will cushion the cells of living tissues, helping to keep them hydrated.

What can hyaluronic acid do for your skin?

Thanks to hyaluronic acid’s mild nature, it boasts a high water retention capacity, making it a perfect moisturizer and acting almost like a natural water reservoir within your skin.

However, our natural supply of hyaluronic acid is not endless. As we age, our skin changes, and hyaluronic acid production naturally decreases. That’s why there are so many products that help retain your skin’s hydration, like those containing hyaluronic acid. These products can be an amazing way to help return that hydration to your skin.

Regularly using hyaluronic acid in your skin care routine will help:

● Restore volume to your face

● Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

● Promote skin tightness and elasticity

● Support collagen and elastin in the skin

● Improve your skin’s overall hydration

● Retain water in the skin for a longer period of time

Who should use hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is an incredible asset to all skin care routines, not only those for people with dry skin. It should be a key ingredient in everybody’s routine, seeing as it works for almost all skin types (sensitive and oily too).

Your hyaluronic acid-focused skin care routine

Knowing what hyaluronic acid does for your skin and how to use it are two different things. Hyaluronic acid can be found in many different formulations, the most common being serums, moisturizers and eye creams. Let’s explore how you can implement hyaluronic acid in your everyday skin care routine with some of ISDIN’s top skin care products.

1) Start with fresh skin

There’s no better way to start your day—and finish it—than with a thorough cleanse. It’s the first step to a good skin care routine, and it’s super important never to miss it.

ISDIN Isdinceutics Essential Cleansing Oil deep cleans your skin to remove stubborn makeup, excess sebum and waterproof sunscreen without stripping your skin. You can deep-clean your skin while ensuring total hydration for soft, glowing skin that's ready for hyaluronic acid application.

2) Apply eye cream with hyaluronic acid

A hydrating eye cream with hyaluronic acid such as ISDIN Isdinceutics K-OX Eyes Vitamin K Eye Cream offers a firming effect that will leave your eye area feeling smoother and rejuvenated. It also helps protect your skin from moisture loss and helps combat dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and crow’s feet.

3) Add a hyaluronic acid serum

Nothing’s better than combining products that work well together, like adding a hyaluronic acid serum after a good cleanse and eye cream. Using serums after cleansing ensures the moisture penetrates deep within your skin, helping to really keep you hydrated from the inside out.

The ISDIN Isdinceutics Hyaluronic Concentrate Serum is a lightweight hydrating water-gel formulated with a mix of hyaluronic acids. Ideal for both morning and evening use, it hydrates, plumps and smooths your skin, leaving a beautiful satin finish. You will look radiant all year round.

4) Seal moisture with a hyaluronic acid cream

A hyaluronic acid moisturizer will seal in all the moisture from your serum while also creating an occlusive layer to keep your skin well-protected from the outside elements.

The ISDIN Isdinceutics Age Contour Firming and Rejuvenating Cream is a luxurious and rejuvenating cream specially formulated to protect, plump and hydrate your skin. The combination of hyaluronic acid and carnosine helps keep your skin tight and elastic, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on your face and redefining the neck and jawline for a more youthful look.

5) Don’t forget sunscreen

Applying a high SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen is an essential step you should never miss in your morning skin care routine, even if you’re inside all day.

ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Ultralight Emulsion Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ is a super-lightweight mineral SPF 50+ sunscreen, providing thorough protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Specially formulated with vitamin E, it helps boost the skin’s natural defenses, protecting you against environmental damage and the visible signs of aging. With a perfect, non-greasy finish, you’ll barely notice it’s there, making it the perfect sunscreen for everyday use.
