What Exactly Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Hyaluronic Acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a type of molecule naturally found in the skin, connective tissue, and eyes. It plays a critical role in maintaining moisture levels due to its remarkable capacity to attract and retain water molecules. In skincare, Hyaluronic Acid is utilised for its ability to enhance hydration and improve skin elasticity.

This ingredient is synthesised for topical application to amplify the skin's hydration levels, thereby supporting the skin's natural protective barrier. Its lightweight and non-comedogenic nature make it suitable for various skincare formulations, from serums to creams.

What Happens When Hyaluronic Acid Touches Your Skin

Understanding the process helps you get better results at home and in the treatment room.

Hyaluronic Acid functions by binding to water molecules, significantly increasing the skin's moisture content. This hydrophilic nature allows it to attract and hold water in the skin's upper layers, ensuring continuous hydration.

By reinforcing the skin's moisture barrier, Hyaluronic Acid helps to smooth the appearance of fine lines and improves overall skin texture. It also aids in maintaining skin elasticity, leaving the skin feeling supple and resilient.

Why Our Therapists Reach for Hyaluronic Acid

When it comes to choosing actives for your treatment, our therapists are selective. Here's why Hyaluronic Acid earns its place.

Therapists cherish Hyaluronic Acid for its versatile hydrating properties that benefit all skin types. It serves as an essential component in treatments aimed at replenishing the skin's moisture levels, which is vital for maintaining a healthy, youthful complexion.

In a luxury spa environment, Hyaluronic Acid is often used in facial treatments to enhance the absorption of other active ingredients, thereby boosting the overall efficacy of skincare regimens. Its gentle, non-irritating nature makes it an ideal choice for even the most sensitive skin, ensuring a therapeutic experience that leaves clients with visibly plumper, more radiant skin.

The Insider Tip

Straight from the treatment room — something most guests don't know about Hyaluronic Acid.

For optimal results, apply Hyaluronic Acid to damp skin to maximise its moisture-binding capabilities. Layer it under a rich moisturiser to lock in hydration and enhance its plumping effects.

When incorporating Hyaluronic Acid into a skincare routine, consider using it alongside a gentle facial massage. This not only aids in product absorption but also promotes relaxation and enhances the overall spa experience.

Who Benefits Most from Hyaluronic Acid?

Not every ingredient is for everyone — here's who we see the best results with.

Hyaluronic Acid is a universal ingredient suitable for all skin types, particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin seeking enhanced hydration. It addresses concerns such as fine lines and loss of firmness by delivering intense moisture.

It also serves as an excellent hydrator for oily or combination skin types, as it hydrates without adding oiliness, making it a versatile addition to any skincare regimen.

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid in Your Routine

Getting the application right makes all the difference. Here's what our therapists suggest.

Application
Apply a few drops of Hyaluronic Acid serum to clean, damp skin, gently pressing it into the face and neck. Follow with a moisturiser to seal in the hydration.
When to Use
Hyaluronic Acid can be used both morning and evening. It is particularly beneficial during dry seasons or in air-conditioned environments where moisture levels are compromised.
Worth Knowing Before You Layer

While Hyaluronic Acid is generally compatible with most ingredients, avoid combining it with extremely low pH products that might destabilise its structure.
