Time to read 2 min
If you have oily skin, you may feel hesitant about adding more hydration to your skincare routine. However, excess oil and sebum may actually be a sign that your skin is suffering from dehydration.
Enter hyaluronic acid—a hero ingredient praised for its lightweight, oil-free hydration and skin-plumping benefits.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HYALURONIC ACID
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a moisture-binding molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It hydrates your skin without adding oil, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types. We use this wonder ingredient in a number of our multitasking products to combat the signs of ageing and tired skin. Formulated for all skin types, our ranges can be used by anyone, regardless of their skin concerns.
Why Hyaluronic Acid Works for Oily Skin
•Lightweight & Oil-Free–Delivers hydration without making skin greasy.
•Balances Oil Production–Keeps skin hydrated so it produces less excess oil.
•Doesn’t Clog Pores–Non-comedogenic and safe for breakout-prone skin.
•Soothes Irritation–Calms inflammation from acne or environmental stressors
How To Use It
If you’re looking to introduce hyaluronic acid into your routine, we’d recommend our Anti-Wrinkle range, formulated with scientifically proven ingredients including Niacinamide and Lactic Acid to promote a radiant complexion while fading the appearance of pigmentation.
The hero ingredient featured in each product is Hyalusphere - a smaller molecular derivative of hyaluronic acid for rapid absorption and hydration. It plumps the skin from within and works to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments target signs of ageing, enhance skin elasticity, and promote a youthful complexion for all skin types.
Here is the routine we’d recommend
1. Cleanse your skin with our Anti-Wrinkle Foaming Facial Wash to remove impurities and dead skin cells morning and evening.
2. Apply our Anti-Wrinkle Concentrated Brightening Serum. Designed for daily use, this regime booster enhances the skin's condition and improves hydration levels.
3. Target fine lines and brighten the under-eye area with our Advanced Brightening Eye Defence Cream SPF20. Powered by Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and plant-based peptide Haloxyl™, this hydrating formula helps to minimise the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles for a smoother, more refined eye area.
4. Complete your routine with the Anti-Wrinkle Brightening Day Cream SPF25. A rich, nourishing formula that plumps the skin from within, helping blur static and dynamic wrinkles, whilst Niacinamide helps fade areas of persistent pigmentation.
5. Repeat in the evening, swapping the Day Cream for our Anti-Wrinkle Brightening Night Cream. This overnight formula contains a blend of active ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Lactic Acid and Rosehip Seed Oil that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage, hormonal pigmentation, and accelerated ageing.
If you’ve got oily skin and you’ve been worried about adding hyaluronic acid into your regime, fear not - this cult ingredient delivers hydration where your skin needs it most, without adding shine or clogging pores.
