How to choose
How hyaluronic acid works
On the skin, hyaluronic acid holds moisture in the upper layers. Formulas often combine several molecular sizes, from a light film on the surface to smaller fragments.
Apply to slightly damp skin
Use a hyaluronic serum or toner straight after cleansing, then seal it in with a moisturiser so the water does not simply evaporate.
Hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate?
Both appear on labels. Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form and is common in water-based formulas. Both are counted on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Is hyaluronic acid suitable for sensitive skin?
Generally yes; it is one of the most widely tolerated ingredients. Check the rest of the formula for fragrance or other ingredients you react to.
Can I use it with retinol or acids?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is a useful hydrating partner for stronger active ingredients.
Is it an acid like AHA?
No. Despite the name, hyaluronic acid does not exfoliate.
