ELI5- What is the purpose of Hyaluronic Acid in Skincare?

277 viewsOther

I’ve been using hyaluronic acid for a while, but I genuinely can’t remember what it does. I think it’s supposed to clear blackheads or something like that, but I think it’s also making my skin dry, and I can’t grasp what else it does.

Hyaluronic acid exists naturally within our skin. It’s essential for skin and wound healing (amongst other things). Acne is an infection, and the skin has to repair & regenerate itself. So adding extra outside the body HA onto our skin can help speed that process up. But, like anything, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. You don’t want your skin regenerating too much or too fast.
