HA is a moisture binder, which means it will attach itself to the water in the cells making them "plump." 

How Does This Benefit My Skin?

Since skin aging is associated with the loss of moisture, many claim that Hyaluronic Acid helps to reduce signs of aging–due to its unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules. 

Hyaluronic Acid offers intense hydration that smoothes and plumps your skin to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

How Should I Incorporate Products Containing HA into My Routine?

You should be using Hyaluronic Acid after you cleanse, and before you apply any moisturizing creams or oils. 

Since the purpose of HA is to lock moisture into your skin, applying your moisturizer after the Hyaluronic Acid will maximize your absorption and results.
