Best Hyaluronic Acid Serum in India: Intense Hydration Guide
Plump up dehydrated skin. We compare the best hyaluronic acid serums in India, explaining how to use them without drying your skin.
The Chemistry: Multi-Molecular Weight Hydration
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a powerful humectant capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It works by pulling moisture into the outer layers of the skin, instantly plumping up fine lines and making the skin look juicy and refreshed.
To work effectively, a serum should contain multiple molecular weights of HA. High molecular weights sit on the surface to prevent moisture loss, while low molecular weights penetrate deeper to hydrate cell layers.
The Critical Rule: Always Apply on Damp Skin
Hyaluronic acid is a moisture magnet. If you apply it to a completely dry face in a dry room, it will draw moisture out from the deeper layers of your skin, leaving it more dehydrated than before. Always mist your face with water before and after applying your HA serum.
