Our favourite hyaluronic acid skincare products

In my humble opinion, hyaluronic acid is a skincare staple, and you cannot change my mind. The hydrating ingredient, which occurs naturally in the skin, is also found in serums, sheet masks and moisturisers and is best known for its plumping properties. There’s a reason it’s so widely used and loved.

Whether your skin is sensitive, dry, dehydrated or oily, hyaluronic acid does not discriminate and works well with every skin type. So if you’re complexion can do with a bit of a moisture boost, check out our favourite hyaluronic acid products below.

As part of your skincare routine, combine with your favourite moisturiser, serum or topical skincare beauty treatment to support your skincare regime. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
