A hyaluronic acid serum does more than just hydrate – it helps plump and firm your skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. If your skin feels dry or lacks elasticity, this powerhouse ingredient is bound to be beneficial.
Vanessa Megan has the right skincare products, including our own Collagen Boosting Gel Hyaluronic Acid Serum, that can help restore that fresh, plump appearance of youth. With regular use, you’ll notice smoother skin that stays hydrated all day long.
#1: Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
Hyaluronic acid, often called a ‘moisture magnet’, can bind to and hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it a highly effective ingredient for hydration. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture from both the deeper layers of the skin and the environment. It also forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture thus, our Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps maintain moisture levels and keeps skin plump and hydrated throughout the day.
For those with dry skin, hyaluronic acid is especially helpful in restoring moisture and improving elasticity. It also helps counteract dryness in harsh cold or dry climates. To maximise its benefits, it’s best paired with a lightweight moisturiser to lock in hydration. With regular use, it enhances skin texture, smoothness and elasticity.
#2: Hyaluronic acid boosts collagen production for firmer skin.
The Collagen Boosting Gel Hyaluronic Acid Serum supports your skin's natural collagen production, which is vital for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity. As collagen production slows with age, skin can lose firmness and develop wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps counter these effects by promoting collagen synthesis, improving skin texture and enhancing overall firmness.
When applied, our Collagen Boosting Gel Hyaluronic Acid Serum binds to collagen fibres, creating a supportive mesh that strengthens skin and boosts elasticity. Don’t let its name fool you, Hyaluronic Acid is great for those with sensitive skin as it is gentle enough to provide hydration without irritation.
Regular use can also help slow signs of premature ageing through collagen support and by protecting against factors like UV exposure and pollution. For optimal results, combine our Collagen Boosting Gel Hyaluronic Acid Serum with our Super C + Bearberry Illuminating Face Serum as this combination can further promote collagen formation, helping achieve smoother, more radiant skin.
#3: It’s a natural component of your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, joints and eyes that acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture into the skin. Its natural compatibility with the body makes it less likely to cause irritation compared to synthetic ingredients.
As we age, the body produces less hyaluronic acid, leading to drier, thinner skin prone to wrinkles. Adding an anti-ageing serum to your skincare routine helps restore moisture, contributing to a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Beyond hydration, a Hyaluronic Acid Serum supports the skin’s barrier, helping it retain water and protect against environmental factors like pollution and UV damage, making it essential for maintaining healthy skin over time.
#4: Hyaluronic acid works well with other skincare ingredients.
It pairs effectively with other active ingredients, enhancing their benefits by improving moisture retention and skin absorption. As mentioned, it works well with Vitamin C, helping antioxidants penetrate deeper, reducing oxidative damage and supporting collagen production for a brighter, firmer complexion.
For those wondering how to use hyaluronic acid, it’s best applied after cleansing and before using a heavier face moisturiser, cream or oil to lock in moisture. When used with retinol, hyaluronic acid provides hydration that helps minimise irritation from retinol’s anti-ageing effects. It also complements peptides, which boost plumpness and improve skin texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is hyaluronic acid serum, and what does it do?
Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating skincare ingredient that helps attract and bind moisture to the skin. This can reduce the appearance of fine lines, smooth the skin and support a plump, healthy look. It also supports collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.
Is hyaluronic acid serum suitable for all skin types?
Hyaluronic acid works well for all skin types, including sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin. Occurring naturally in the body, it is generally non-irritating and suitable for most users. Its lightweight formulation is ideal for oily skin, as hydration is provided without clogging pores. For those with dry or combination skin, it can be layered with other products for extra nourishment.
What is the best time of day to use hyaluronic acid serum?
You can apply hyaluronic acid serum in the morning and evening. In the morning, use it before your moisturiser and sunscreen to lock in moisture and create a smooth base for makeup. At night, apply it after cleansing to help your skin absorb and retain moisture as you sleep. For best results, apply it to damp skin to maximise absorption and avoid dehydration.
