What in the Hell is That?
Ever flip over a product to read the label and think...what is that? We break it down - minus the science lecture - so you actually know what's going on your face.
Hyaluronic Acid aka HA
Despite the scary-sounding name, hyaluronic acid is basically your skin’s built-in water magnet. It’s a sugar molecule your body naturally makes to keep things plump, cushioned, and hydrated. The catch? Like everything else that was once easy (metabolism, eyesight, remembering why you walked into a room 🙄), your skin makes less of it as you age. Topical hyaluronic acid steps in like a giant drink of water—helping skin look smoother, feel softer, and actually hold onto the moisture it gets.
