Absolutely! Hyaluronic Acid is highly versatile and acts as a soothing base. It pairs perfectly with Vitamin C in the morning to brighten and protect, or with Retinol at night to help minimize the dryness or irritation often associated with active anti-aging ingredients.
Hyaluronic Acid is a powerhouse for mature skin because it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. By “plumping” the skin cells with moisture, it immediately reduces the appearance of fine lines and dehydration wrinkles, giving the face a smoother, more youthful glow.
Yes. Because Hyaluronic Acid is a lightweight, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) hydrator, it is ideal for oily skin. It provides the water-based moisture your skin needs without adding heavy oils that can lead to breakouts, helping to balance your natural sebum production.
For maximum hydration, always apply our Hyaluronic Acid cream to damp skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a “humectant,” meaning it pulls moisture into the skin. If your skin is damp, it draws that water inward; if your skin is bone-dry, it can actually pull moisture out of your deeper skin layers, leaving you feeling tighter.
At Lab and Leaf, we focus on effective absorption. Sodium Hyaluronate is a salt form of HA with a much smaller molecular size. This allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin than standard Hyaluronic Acid, which often just sits on the surface. Our cream is formulated to ensure hydration at multiple levels.
