Hyaluronic Acid is a type of sugar naturally produced by the body. Found in high concentrations within the skin, Hyaluronic Acid is responsible for the skin’s plumpness and volume. It is also found in the fluid that surrounds the eyes and joints. Using hyaluronic acid skincare products is beneficial as the ingredient acts as a humectant, which means it can attract moisture and act like a sponge to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent non-comedogenic hydrating agent. However, with age, the skin’s natural production of this ingredient declines, which is why it’s important to topically supplement the skin with hyaluronic acid products. Explore the CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid range that includes hyaluronic acid creams and other skincare products essential for maintaining the skin’s moisture balance and achieving a smooth skin texture.

However, hyaluronic acid levels reduce over time, which lowers the skin’s ability to replenish moisture. This is where you need to use Hyaluronic Acid cream or lotion on your skin. Its regular application helps support and maintain skin health, and locks in moisture to keep the skin hydrated, plump and soft.
