Six Hyaluronic Serums For A Quick Hydration Fix

16 November 2017

First things first, hyaluronic acid is a beauty hero. You can read a more in-depth report on it in Vogue's Skincare Alphabet, but the main thing to know is that it is a clear, sticky substance which occurs naturally in the body and - upon application to the skin - plumps and hydrates skin, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles without the use of oils, silicones or butters. Hyaluronic acid is used in everything from face masks to foundations, but the best way to ensure you're getting your fix is via a good hyaluronic serum designed to provide an instant layer of hydration each morning. Since hyaluronic serums are lightweight and instantly absorbed they work well on all skin types, plus they create a great base for make-up. What's not to love? See six of the best here.
