- How does hyaluronic acid benefit the skin?
One of the main characteristics of aging skin is the loss of hydration, which leads to a loss of firmness, volume, and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid is a key molecule involved in maintaining skin hydration due to its unique ability to attract and retain water. Topical application of hyaluronic acid can provide lasting hydration and help make the skin softer, firmer, and more voluminous.
- Is Hyaluronic Acid suitable for oily skin?
When it comes to oily skin, it may seem like a good idea to avoid hydration for fear of clogging pores. However, the opposite is true. Essential moisture depletion in the skin can cause it to overcompensate and produce even more oil. 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 in the skin. Hyaluronic Acid has a unique ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin, effectively providing lasting hydration without clogging pores.
- When should Water Gel be applied in your routine?
Water Gel should be applied after cleansing on clean, damp skin. Wait 30 to 60 seconds, then apply other treatments.
- 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 while the skin is still damp. It also acts as a hydration veil before applying any products that may sensitize the skin. It allows any subsequently applied product to be absorbed more effectively. Water Gel can soothe the skin after cleansing and balance the skin's pH levels.
- Can Water Gel be used with other products?
Yes, Water Gel works well with all other products. In fact, it can help the products applied thereafter work better as it aids their absorption.
- How long does it take to see results?
Products may take up to six weeks to show full results, due to the time it takes for skin cells to renew and for the effects of any product to reach the surface. Consistency is key, so apply regularly even if you do not see immediate effects. It can be very tempting to increase the amount or use of some products to try to see results more quickly; however, do not exceed the recommended usage as this could lead to irritation and sensitivity.
Yes! Water Gel does not contain animal derivatives.
- Is it safe for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Yes! It can be safely used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
