Hyaluronic acid is one of the most loved and used active ingredients in modern skincare, and for good reason: it is a fundamental ally in keeping skin hydrated, plump, and radiant.
But how does it really work? And how can you incorporate it into your daily routine?
What is hyaluronic acid and how does it work on the skin?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our bodies, capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This makes it a highly hydrating active ingredient, capable of:
- Plump up the skin thanks to its ability to retain moisture
- Soothe and calm stressed or reddened skin
- Fill fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Strengthen the skin barrier , preventing transdermal water loss
Depending on its molecular weight, hyaluronic acid can act at different levels:
- High molecular weight : creates a surface film that retains moisture
- Low molecular weight : penetrates deeper, plumping from within
Benefits of hyaluronic acid for different skin types
- Dry Skin : Hyaluronic acid is a must-have for dry skin, as it helps retain moisture and prevent flaking. Combine with ceramides for a more intense barrier effect.
- Combination/Oily Skin : Combination and oily skin types also benefit from hyaluronic acid, as it hydrates without leaving a greasy feeling. Choose gel or low-molecular-weight formulas to avoid weighing down the skin.
- Sensitive skin : Thanks to its soothing properties, hyaluronic acid is ideal for reducing redness and irritation. Opt for products with few ingredients and no fragrance to avoid reactions.
How to use hyaluronic acid on your face in your skincare routine?
To get the most out of its benefits, it's important to apply it to damp skin and then seal in hydration with a cream . Ideally, apply it after toner and before face cream.

The perfect combo: what to pair it with?
Hyaluronic acid is super versatile and pairs well with almost any active ingredient. The best combinations are:
- Niacinamide : for a brightening + hydrating effect
- Ceramides : strengthen the skin barrier
- Panthenol and Centella Asiatica : enhanced soothing effect
- Peptides : for a boost of elasticity and tone
