What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule that occurs naturally in our body, particularly in the skin, joints, and eyes. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which means it's a substance that retains moisture. It can be found in hydrating and anti-aging serums, masks, and face moisturizers. This miracle molecule will keep your skin hydrated, plump, and balanced. Hyaluronic is great for all skin types as it hydrates dry skin, balances oily/combo skin, soothes sensitive skin, and plumps aging skin. There's evidence that hyaluronic acid helps with soft tissue growth, supporting your body's ability to produce more collagen and elastin.
The Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid:
Provides lasting hydration while balancing oil-water content in the skin.
Brings instant hydration and soothing relief to dry skin.
Plumps skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Restores skin's elasticity and bounce.
Speeds healing time and reduces scarring.
-Treats eczema and reduces inflammation.
HA ingredients to look for in your skincare products
Hyaluronic Acid Ingredients to Look For in Skincare Products
Not all hyaluronic acid is created equal. When checking ingredient labels, keep an eye out for these powerful forms of HA—each designed to penetrate and hydrate at different levels of the skin:
Sodium Hyaluronate: A salt form of hyaluronic acid with a smaller molecular size that allows for deeper skin penetration and intense hydration.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: HA broken down into smaller fragments to improve absorption and boost surface hydration—great for plumping and smoothing fine lines.
Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate: A modified version of HA that provides long-lasting hydration and helps reinforce the skin’s barrier function.
Lock in hydration and balance oily skin with our Ultra Hydro Gel
Bring moisture back to dry and aging skin with Glymed's Ultra Hydro Gel with 10% Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate). A best seller at Bisous Esthetics! This hydrating serum has an ultra-light formula that melts into the skin, leaving it soft and deeply hydrated. As we age, our body's production of hyaluronic acid decreases, making hyaluronic acid an essential ingredient to include in your daily skincare ritual.
Repair & restore aging skin with Hydrinity's Patented Hyaluronic Serum
Hydrinity skincare stands out because it combines advanced medical-grade technology with deep hydration and barrier-repairing ingredients—making it especially restorative for compromised, aging, or post-procedure skin. Hydrinity uses a patented form of low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which penetrates deeply to hydrate while also creating a moisture-locking layer on the skin’s surface. This dual-action approach gives both instant and long-term hydration. Hydrinity's HPT-6 peptide complex supports rapid skin regeneration, collagen production, and cellular repair. This makes Hydrinity especially beneficial for post-treatment recovery (peels, nano-needling, laser) compromised skin, finne lines, dullness, and texture issues
