• How does hyaluronic acid benefit my skin?
One of the main characteristics of aged skin is the loss of hydration, leading to a loss of firmness, volume, and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid is a fundamental molecule involved in maintaining skin hydration due to its unique ability to attract and retain water. Therefore, the topical application of hyaluronic acid can provide long-lasting hydration, leaving the skin softer, firmer, and plumper.
• Is Hyaluronic Acid good for oily skin?
When it comes to oily skin, it may seem like a good idea to avoid moisturizing for fear of clogging pores. However, the opposite is true. Depletion of essential skin moisture can lead to overcompensation and increased oil production. However, many traditional moisturizing ingredients can feel sticky or heavy on oily skin. It is important to look for oil-free and non-comedogenic formulas that help retain moisture levels in the skin. Hyaluronic Acid has a unique capacity to attract and retain moisture in the skin, effectively providing long-lasting hydration without clogging pores.
• When in your routine should you apply the Hyaluronic Acid serum?
The Hydrating Serum should be applied after cleansing on clean, damp skin. Wait for 30 to 60 seconds, then follow with other treatments or serums.
• Why is this the first step after cleansing?
It is more effectively absorbed on damp skin, so it is best applied as the first step after cleansing when the skin is still damp. It also acts as a hydration veil before applying any potentially sensitizing products. It allows any subsequent products to be more effectively absorbed. The Hydrating Serum can soothe the skin after cleansing and balance the skin's pH levels.
• Can the Hydrating Serum be used with other products?
Yes, the Hydrating Serum works well with all other products. In fact, it can help the products applied after it to function better.
• How long does it take to see results?
Products may take up to six weeks to show complete results, due to the time it takes for skin cells to renew and for the effects of any product to surface. Consistency is key, so apply it regularly even if you don't see immediate effects. It can be very tempting to increase the amount or use of some products in an attempt to see faster results, however, do not exceed the recommended usage, as this could lead to irritation and sensitivity.
• Is this product vegan?
Yes! The Hydrating Serum does not contain animal derivatives.
• Is it safe for use during pregnancy or lactation?
Yes! You can use it safely during pregnancy or lactation.
