There’s a lot of buzz around hyaluronic acid (HA). It’s one of the most popular ingredients in skincare products, and for good reason. HA can boost hydration, make your skin look plump, and soften fine lines and wrinkles. It can also improve skin texture. Let’s take a closer look at hyaluronic acid and how it can work for you. 

## What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid isn’t just found in skincare products. It’s already in your skin! HA is a naturally occurring substance that helps your body retain moisture. This hydrating substance is found mostly in your skin, along with a few other areas including your joints, connective tissue, and eyes. The natural HA in your skin gives you that dewy look, and helps your skin maintain volume and hydration. It’s your body’s solution for glowing, healthy skin. 

## What Happens to Hyaluronic Acid as We Age?
You’re probably familiar with many of the signs of aging. You may start to notice fine lines and wrinkles, more delicate skin, and loss of volume. Over time, your body produces less collagen, less elastin, and you guessed it, less hyaluronic acid. You’ll start to lose that plump look, and the glow may start to fade. You’re more likely to experience dehydrated and dry skin, rough texture, or sunken cheeks.

## Using Hyaluronic Acid in Skincare Products
One way to combat this loss of HA is to use skincare products with hyaluronic acid. If you have sensitive skin, find a product that’s fragrance-free and safe for gentle skin. The hyaluronic acid itself is safe on sensitive skin. 

Do you have mature skin or especially dry skin? You’ll notice a huge benefit when you switch to hyaluronic acid products! That’s because your body may not be making enough HA, so boosting this hydrating substance can make all the difference. 

## What Are the Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid can help you fall in love with your skin all over again. Some of the benefits include:

- Increasing hydration for glowing, radiant skin
- Helping the skin retain moisture and stay hydrated
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoothing skin texture
- Giving skin a fuller, plumper look

If you’re ready to get all the benefits of HA, look for a moisturizer that contains HA, or find an HA serum. Apply the moisturizer after you cleanse your face to optimize absorption. If you’re using a serum, apply the serum after your cleanse and before moisturizing. 

## Dermal Fillers Use Hyaluronic Acid
Looking for a long-term solution? One way to boost your body’s hyaluronic acid is with dermal fillers. Fillers can restore volume and give you the plump look you’ve been chasing. One of the most important ingredients in fillers is hyaluronic acid. When fillers are injected under the skin, the HA helps your skin retain moisture, plumping the skin and giving you a youthful glow.
