What is Hyaluronic Acid and why do we need it?

Hyaluronic acid.  Just the word acid sounds concerning doesn’t it, yet there are so many different acids in beauty products these days…salicylic…..gylcolic……alpha hydroxy….. So what makes hyaluronic acid (HA) so important?

HA is currently one of the most commonly talked about beauty ingredients because of its incredible ability to hold up to 1,000x its weight in water, making it a great choice for anyone wanting to give their skin a serious boost of moisture; whatever your skin type or age. It’s also something that your body makes naturally to keep your skin plump, firm and moisturised, so when its applied in a cream or serum its chemical composition absorbs easily into your skin.

As we age our skins ability to produce its own hyaluronic acid reduces, leading to dry skin and fine lines over time. Hyaluronic acid serums and creams are therefore particularly amazing for dry and mature complexions or indeed anyone wanting to plump away fine lines and wrinkles.

If you’re looking for a product packed with HA, you can’t go wrong with Fillerina Replenishment Treatments, they can replenish the moisture that aging skin lacks, improving the appearance of fine lines and making the skin look smoother. The treatments work by combining 6-8 different sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules, each of these which are absorbed into different layers of the skin and the best thing about hyaluronic acid is that it can be used on all skin types, even sensitive and acne- and rosacea-prone skin.

As if this wasn’t enough, HA has many other benefits if taken as a supplement as well; it can speed up the healing of wounds and help to relieve joint pain and dry eye (a symptom of too much screen time).

All in all, hyaluronic acid really is a powerhouse for your skin & body!
