FAQs

What is hyaluronic acid, and what role does it play in skincare?

Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding ingredient that helps keep the skin plump and hydrated. It's crucial for maintaining skin's moisture levels and is often used in serums for its ability to improve skin hydration and texture.

How does hyaluronic acid serum benefit the skin?

Hyaluronic acid serums attract moisture to the skin's surface, reducing dryness and the appearance of fine lines. Regular use leads to a more hydrated, firm and youthful-looking complexion.

Are there any specific advantages of using hyaluronic acid serums in Australia's climate?

Given our varied climate, from arid regions to humid coastal areas, using products infused with hyaluronic acid in Australia helps in maintaining hydration levels, protecting the skin from dehydration and environmental aggressors.

Can hyaluronic acid be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin?

Yes, hyaluronic acid is gentle and beneficial for all skin types. Its hydrating properties are particularly advantageous for sensitive skin, helping to soothe and reduce the 
visible signs of irritation.

How often should hyaluronic acid serums be incorporated into a skincare routine?

Incorporating a hyaluronic acid serum twice daily, in the morning and evening, before moisturising can significantly improve skin hydration and overall healthy-looking skin.

Are there any potential side effects or precautions to consider when using hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is typically well-tolerated by most skin types. However, it's always recommended to conduct a patch test before introducing a new product to your skincare routine.

Can hyaluronic acid help with anti-ageing and reducing fine lines and wrinkles?

Absolutely, hyaluronic acid for skin can help reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles by boosting skin hydration and elasticity, contributing to a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

What are the differences between various hyaluronic acid formulations available in Australia?

In Australia, hyaluronic acid serums may vary in concentration and molecular size, affecting their penetration and effectiveness. Some formulations might also include additional ingredients like vitamin C or peptides for enhanced benefits.

Is hyaluronic acid suitable for blemish-prone skin, and does it help with acne scars?

Hyaluronic acid is non-comedogenic and suitable for blemish-prone skin. Its hydrating properties can support the skin's healing process, potentially improving the appearance of acne scars.

Are there any recommended products to use alongside hyaluronic acid for skincare?

To enhance the benefits of hyaluronic acid for your skin, pair it with products that support hydration and skin protection. In the morning, use a quality SPF to safeguard your skin from UV damage. For a complete skincare routine, consider adding a gentle cleanser and a moisturiser that suits your skin type. In the evening, follow hyaluronic acid with a nourishing night cream to lock in hydration.

Can I use hyaluronic acid with other skincare actives?

Yes, hyaluronic acid pairs well with other skincare actives like retinol, peptides and vitamin C. It works as a hydrating base, helping to alleviate potential dryness from more potent actives like retinol. Applying hyaluronic acid before these actives can help enhance their absorption and improve overall skin moisture levels.

How long does it take to see results from using skincare products with hyaluronic acid?

You may start noticing improved hydration and a plumper complexion within a few days of using hyaluronic acid. Consistent use over several months is typically required for more significant results, such as enhancing and improving skin texture and tone.

How should I layer my skincare when using hyaluronic acid?

Apply hyaluronic acid on the skin after cleansing or toning and before heavier serums, moisturisers or oils. This process allows hyaluronic acid to draw in moisture and enhance the absorption of subsequent products. In the morning, follow with SPF to protect your skin; in the evening, you can layer a richer treatment or oil for additional hydration.

When should I introduce hyaluronic acid into my skincare routine?

Introduce hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine at any age, especially if you’re experiencing dryness, dehydration or the appearance of fine lines. It’s suitable for daily use, both morning and night, and can be beneficial year-round for maintaining optimal hydration and skin elasticity.

Is hyaluronic acid suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?

Hyaluronic acid is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It’s a gentle, non-irritating ingredient that provides hydration without the risk of unwanted side effects. However, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider before introducing new skincare products during these periods.

What concentration of hyaluronic acid do your products contain?

Our hyaluronic acid skincare products vary in concentration to suit different needs. For example, our serums typically contain a balanced concentration designed to offer deep hydration without overwhelming the skin. We carefully formulate each product to ensure it delivers optimal hydration, with some formulations incorporating multiple molecular weights of hyaluronic acid for enhanced penetration and effectiveness.

How should I store skincare products with hyaluronic acid?

To maintain their potency, store hyaluronic acid-based products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures. Keep the product’s lid tightly closed when not in use for best results.
