Hyaluronic acid for sagging skin: how to use it and what to expect

Let's be honest about what Hyaluronic acid can really do, and what it can't.

What is Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is the skin's natural humectant, able to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.

How Hyaluronic acid helps for sagging skin

Sagging occurs when the skin's support structure weakens and the contour blurs. In this scenario Hyaluronic acid works with purpose — hyaluronic acid is the skin's natural humectant, able to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for sagging skin.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply hyaluronic acid to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Apply to damp skin and seal with a moisturiser, otherwise in dry climates it can pull water from deeper layers. Collagen stimulation and device-based methods work best in combination.
