Hyaluronic Acid Lotion

Hyaluronic Acid Lotion is an outstanding moisturizing formula for all skin types.

Due to its oil-free texture, it does not clog the pores but acts like a sponge and retains water within the skin, locking in the moisture that your skin usually looses.

As we become older our skin’s ability to retain moisture weakens, the result. . . our skin becomes dry and dehydrated.

Hyaluronic acid lotion helps to infuse the skin with moisture. With regular use the skin is able to establish a moisture balance. Moisture in the skin works to restore skin health which in turn helps to plump out the skin making the appearance of fine lines less visible, circulation is improved therefore encouraging skin cell development which in turn reduces dry patches, leaving the skin looking smoother, softer and more radiant.

How does HA work?
Hyaluronic Acids has been hailed as a wonder ingredient in skincare, but not all skincare products with HA as an active ingredient are the same. Many contain levels of Hyaluronic Acid that are too low to make any difference to the skin. It is also important for the Hyaluronic Acid to be of a low molecular weight so it can be easily absorbed deeper into the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid also helps the delivery of other anti-aging ingredients and nutrients into the skin, so it combines well with other moisturizing and facial rejuvenation products.

An active HA ingredient is also critical in providing nutrients and removing waste from cells that do not have a direct blood supply. If the amount of hyaluronic acid depletes, nutrients cannot be moved into these cells and waste cannot be eliminated from cells.

Tip:
A little of a Hyaluronic Acid Lotion or Serum goes a very long way so you only need a few drops. It can also be used on the delicate skin directly under the eyes. Apply to skin after cleansing. A HA treatment can be used under additional serums or other moisturizers to intensify their effects on the skin.

This product is great for sensitive skin with no problems but if you do have sensitive skin, a patch test is advised before trying any new products.

HA is also a product that you can use directly after a chemical peel; in fact it enhances the results as it can penetrate deeper in to the skin.
If you have oily skin and are worried about emerging symptoms of aging then this product is an excellent choice because it is totally oil free.

Even oily skin can become dry and dehydrated, so simply apply under your usual moisturizer for added benefits and see fine lines and wrinkles start to fade.
