Why is hyaluronic acid so popular in skincare products? 

Super Anti-Aging Dual Serum by Dr. Barbara Sturm 

1/6

The two formulations in this serum blend seamlessly to give the ultimate anti-aging result. The first phase is hyaluronic acid-based and delivers intense hydration. The three weights of hyaluronic acid – low, medium and high – work together to help your skin maintain moisture and plump it too. In phase two, an oil-soluble serum renews your skin barrier and boosts your skin’s natural collagen and elastin reservoir. Your skin will look and feel firmer, smoother and fresher, with fine lines and wrinkles visibly reduced.

Hyaluronic acid and grape water are the two hero ingredients in Caudalie’s new VinoHydra collection. Hydration is the aim here and this is achieved through three moisturisers in the collection. Deep Hydration Moisturiser ($45) is recommended for dry or sensitive skin, with a natural formula made up of hyaluronic acid, organic grape water and organic shea butter that boosts hydration by 94%. 
If you have combination skin, the Gel Moisturiser ($45) is formulated with soothing aloe vera, with a gel texture that melts into your skin, leaving it more supple and hydrated. And women with normal skin can try the Sorbert Cream Moisturiser ($45), which features chamomile to calm and soothe fragile skin and reduce redness.
