Hyaluronic acid has become one of the star ingredients in facial care, and for good reason. It's known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water , making it a powerful and deeply hydrating agent.
What is hyaluronic acid and why is it so popular?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that occurs naturally in our skin, but its production decreases over time. Using it in cosmetics helps to:
- Improve hydration.
- Fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
- Add volume and elasticity.
- To leave the skin looking juicy and fresh.
What does a serum with hyaluronic acid do for the skin?
Hyaluronic acid serums penetrate deep layers of the skin, providing:
- Intense and long-lasting hydration.
- Texture improvement.
- Reduction of signs of dehydration and fatigue.
- Enhancement of the effect of other products in the routine.
How to use a serum correctly (step by step)
- Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser.
- Apply a toner if you use one, to balance the pH.
- With slightly damp skin , apply 2 to 4 drops of the serum.
- Press gently with your fingertips until absorbed.
- Seal in a moisturizer and always, in the morning, sunscreen .
✨ SarahKeer tip : If you apply it to a very dry face, it could absorb moisture from your skin instead of from the air. Moisture is key!
Who is it ideal for, and who should avoid it?
- Ideal for: dry, combination, mature, dehydrated, dull skin.
- Avoid: very few contraindications. If there are specific allergies or very sensitive skin, opt for hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formulas.
How to choose the best serum for your skin
- Dry or mature skin: look for formulas with high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid + ceramides.
- Combination or oily skin: light gel-type textures, oil-free, combined with niacinamide.
- Sensitive skin: alcohol-free, fragrance-free, with aloe vera or centella asiatica.
Expert advice from SarahKeer
- Apply the serum with gentle taps, without rubbing.
- To enhance its effects, combine it with vitamin C in the morning.
- Never forget sunscreen: moisturizing + protecting is the perfect anti-aging formula.
