Do your research on skin care products, and you’re likely to come across hyaluronic acid. In fact, it’s become one of the most buzzed-about ingredients in skin care over the last few years—and you can find it in everything from moisturizers to serums to eye creams. Keep reading to learn what makes hyaluronic acid so popular, along with how you can incorporate one of our best hyaluronic acid moisturizers into your skin care routine.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HYALURONIC ACID

If you’re feeling out of the loop when it comes to hyaluronic acid, let us fix that really quick. The fact you’re most likely to hear tossed around about this popular (and dermatologist-recommended) ingredient is that it’s capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water—and it’s true. Pretty neat, right? Of course, that little statistic isn’t the only reason for all the HA love. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, hyaluronic acid can help soothe dry skin, while the National Institute of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) states that hyaluronic acid can be used to treat wrinkles and skin elasticity. An anti-aging and moisturizing powerhouse all in one!

OUR BEST HYALURONIC ACID MOISTURIZERS

Moving on to what you really want to know…where you can find skin care products formulated with HA. Enter our best moisturizers with hyaluronic acid. 

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power™ Anti-Aging Moisturizer: As skin ages, you may notice that wrinkles and rough texture are becoming more noticeable. This anti-aging moisturizer, formulated with hyaluronic acid and patented Pro-Xylane, provides long-lasting hydration and immediately makes skin look more radiant. This beloved moisturizer is trusted by women all across the United States—as evidenced by the recent #RevitaliftChallenge where over 10,000 women tried the day cream, saw results in just one week, and when polled afterward, shared they trusted the product and would continue to use it. To try it for yourself, smooth the moisturizer over your face, neck, and jawline until thoroughly absorbed.

If hydration is your top priority, you may want to consider a moisturizer formulated with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera water—and we just so happen to know three that fit the bill!

The L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius line offers three lightweight moisturizers, each of which is designed for a different skin type. To use any of the following moisturizers, start by cleansing your skin. (Need a facial cleanser recommendation? Read our article, How to Find the Right Clay Cleanser for Your Skin Type). Then, smooth your moisturizer of choice over your face and neck while your skin is still damp to help lock in hydration.

L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care – Normal/Oily Skin: In normal and oily skin, external factors such as pollution, UV rays, and excessive cleansing can damage skin’s moisture barrier, causing loss of moisture and an increase in oil production. As a result, your complexion can start to look overly shiny. This water-based moisturizer helps reduce the appearance of excess shine and has a matte finish.

L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care – Normal/Dry Skin: Normal and dry skin faces external factors such as pollution and UV rays that can damage the skin’s moisture barrier, increasing loss of moisture and causing it to become drier. As a result, skin’s surface loses its glow, becoming dull-looking. This water-based moisturizer envelops skin with moisture, improving the look of radiance.

L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care – Extra Dry Skin: Your skin has a very fragile moisture barrier that can be easily damaged by external factors such as pollution and UV rays. Skin consequently loses its ability to retain moisture, becoming easily dehydrated, feeling tight and uncomfortable. This water-based moisturizer envelops skin with moisture, providing comfort.

OUR BEST HYALURONIC ACID SERUM

As we mentioned just a bit ago, hyaluronic acid face creams aren’t the only way for you to work the popular ingredient into your skin care routine. In fact, if you want to take your moisturizing and anti-aging routines to a new level, you may want to consider using multiple skin care products with hyaluronic acid.

Our suggestion for the next addition to your routine? A hyaluronic acid serum! Apply the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Derm Intensives 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum—a derm-validated 1.5% pure hyaluronic acid serum—in-between your cleansing and moisturizing steps. This 1.5% concentration is key since, according to the NCBI, only a very low molecular weight of hyaluronic acid is able to penetrate the skin. The lightweight serum, which is free of fragrance, mineral oil, synthetic dye, and parabens, replenishes moisture for plumped, youthfully supple skin with a bounce. After just two weeks, you can expect fine lines and wrinkles to be visibly reduced. 

OUR BEST HYALURONIC ACID AMPOULES

While serums are a great way to boost your skin with moisture, it may come time to take things up a few notches. Serum ampoules have been sold at European apothecaries for decades as potent anti-aging treatments. We’re fans of the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.9% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Replumping Ampoules. Formulated with our highest concentration of hyaluronic acid, this derm-approved ampoule works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, visibly plump your skin, and enhances moisture-retention for hydration—all in seven days. With continued use, your skin will sport a smooth, supple, and radiant finish. The ampoules are also free of parabens, minerals, and dyes.

To use, tap the top of the ampoule, crack off the top and massage the serum inside onto your face, neck, and décolletage in an upward motion. Use the top to plug the vial for a second use.
