If every kind of skin-friendly acids had a Marvel superhero archetype to them, then hyaluronic acid is kind of the underdog (Squirrel Girl?).
It doesn’t sound as sexy as glycolic acid (he’s really buff but can’t control his powers) nor does it sound as wham-bam-thank-you-mam as citric acid. However, what it does is it functions as the group’s cheerleader — namely how it agrees with everyone and is beneficial in boosting everybody’s power (we believe that it’s called a wall in gamer terms).
The benefits of adding hyaluronic acid into your grooming routine for the already initiated, don’t just start and end with preserving hydration and plumping the skin. It’s a polymer that your body naturally produces and uses in the skin, eyes and joints. For the former, it strengthens and fortifies the hydrolipic barrier and that’s what keeps moisture locked in and keeps bacteria out.
Adding to its position as a powerhouse ingredient, it contains a super smart ability to regulate said moisture within the cells, so as not to drown it.
