If there’s one skin-care ingredient that puts you in the fast lane to hydrated skin, it’s hyaluronic acid. You’ll find it as an active ingredient in seemingly every skin-care product category under the sun — [serums](https://www.everydayhealth.com/beauty-toolbox/which-serum-is-right-for-your-skin-concern/), cleansers, moisturizers, and more. There’s a reason it’s ubiquitous: Not only does hyaluronic acid do a killer job when it comes to moisturizing the skin, but it minimizes signs of aging, since plump, hydrated skin makes fine lines and wrinkles less visible.

Here’s a scientific guide that touches on the basics of hyaluronic acid.

## What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Technically, it’s a group of sugar molecules called polysaccharides, [according to research](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3960342/). These molecules work to cushion and lubricate, and they’re found naturally in the body’s connective tissues, notes the [Cleveland Clinic](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/skin-care-ingredients-explained/).

Over time, your body’s stores of hyaluronic acid decline. Age is one reason, [research](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8157393/) shows, but environmental factors — such as smoking and air pollution — also accelerate this process, [according to another study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4110621/). That’s the bad news.

The good news is that topical products that feature hyaluronic acid, whether as part of the ingredients list in a moisturizer or as the star of a serum, can help rebuild those depleted stores, says [Bonnie Gasquet, MD](https://studiohealth.net/about/), an internal medicine physician at Studio Health medical center in Belle Chasse, Louisiana.

“Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds to water molecules and increases the water content of the skin,” says [Shari Marchbein, MD](https://drsharimarchbein.com/), a board-certified dermatologist in private practice in New York City. It can absorb more than 1,000 times its weight in water, Dr. Marchbein says.

## What Are the Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid?

The key benefit of hyaluronic acid is hydration and that unbelievable ability to retain moisture. To understand how important moisture is for the skin, you have to first know that dehydrated skin — when the top layer of skin doesn’t have enough water — appears dry, rough, and flaky, Marchbein says.

It’s not just a matter of aesthetics. [Dry skin](https://www.everydayhealth.com/beauty-pictures/7-surprising-causes-of-dry-skin.aspx) can be dangerous. “Poorly hydrated skin is unable to maintain an appropriately intact skin barrier, leaving the skin more vulnerable to damage from external and environmental sources,” Marchbein says. When the skin barrier is not intact, it can let bacteria in, which can lead to infection, [according to a study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4225502/)*.* Compromised skin barriers can play a role in many skin conditions, including dry skin, [atopic dermatitis](https://www.everydayhealth.com/eczema/guide/), [rosacea](https://www.everydayhealth.com/rosacea/), and acne, [per research](https://www.walshmedicalmedia.com/open-access/repairing-a-compromised-skin-barrier-in-dermatitis-2155-6121.1000187.pdf)*.*

Hydrated skin, then, is what you want. “Skin hydration is important because hydrated skin looks more plump, healthier, and more vibrant,” Marchbein says. It looks younger, too, if that’s one of your goals. [According to research](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3583886/)*,* skin aging is associated with loss of skin moisture, and hyaluronic acid is the key ingredient when it comes to combating or reversing these signs. “Because of its water-pulling qualities, hyaluronic acid can refine and age-rewind in those dry, sunken, or ‘crepe’ areas,” Dr. Gasquet says. [One study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27221554/) found that over-the-counter anti-wrinkle creams containing hyaluronic acid decreased the depth of wrinkles around the lips and eyes by 10 to 20 percent over a three-month period. Skin tightness also improved by 13 to 30 percent.

Gasquet recommends applying products with hyaluronic acid [during the winter](https://www.everydayhealth.com/skin-beauty/how-to-tweak-your-skin-care-routine-for-winter-depending-on-your-skin-type/) especially, when the skin tends to be at its driest. But even those who aren’t battling dryness will want to add hyaluronic acid to their skin-care routine. [Kenneth Rothaus, MD](https://www.rothausmd.com/about-plastic-surgery-practice-nyc/plastic-surgeon/), a board-certified plastic surgeon with Rothaus Plastic Surgery in New York City, says it’s responsible for giving the skin a healthy glow. Marchbein recommends a hyaluronic-packed moisturizer for people of all ages. “It is never too early to start a good skin-care routine,” she says.

## The 3 Types of Hyaluronic Acid: How They Differ

There are three types of hyaluronic acid:

1. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is hyaluronic acid that has been broken down into elements small enough to penetrate the skin, Gasquet says. It’s moisturizing, but not the most moisturizing option, so it’s best for people who have oily or combination skin, since these skin types want to avoid over-moisturizing.
2. Sodium hyaluronate goes deeper into the skin and delivers even better results, though the effects aren’t very long lasting, Gasquet says. “Sodium hyaluronate is best for people who have normal skin because it will allow moisture to seep in, but you don’t really need a heavy-duty, long-lasting effect.” This is the ingredient you’ll likely find in serums.
3. Sodium acetylated hyaluronate has the benefits of [sodium hyaluronate](https://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/supartz-fx) but with longer-lasting results. It’s best for people who need moisture, such as those with [dry skin](https://www.everydayhealth.com/beauty-pictures/7-surprising-causes-of-dry-skin.aspx), those who live in dry climates, or those looking for a product for the dry winter months.

There’s also ingestible hyaluronic acid, which is a capsule filled with the active ingredient. The idea is that by taking a supplement, levels of the hyaluronic acid will be steady, and the effects will last, [according to one study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5522662/). And it appears to work: The researchers found that participants who took 120 milligrams (mg) of hyaluronic acid per day for 12 weeks improved their skin wrinkles and their overall skin condition. However, more research needs to be conducted on oral hyaluronic acid.

## Does Hyaluronic Acid Have Any Side Effects to Note?

Hyaluronic acid is generally safe for all skin types and doesn’t typically lead to any adverse reactions when applied topically, Marchbein says. “Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in our skin, and as a result, one should not expect any problems,” Dr. Rothaus says. “When patients complain of rashes or other problems related to hyaluronic acid–containing products, it is often a result of a problem with another ingredient, such as one of the preservatives.” Preservatives extend the life of a product, but some, including [parabens](https://www.everydayhealth.com/healthy-living/parabens/guide/), formaldehyde-releases, and isothiazolinones, can lead to irritation, according to [DermNet](https://dermnetnz.org/topics/contact-allergy-to-preservatives).

Marchbein points out that hyaluronic acid is also found in a large number of injectable fillers, and while the ingredient itself is safe, the procedure can be risky and should be performed by a doctor certified by the American Board of Dermatology or the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

## Using Hyaluronic Acid: What to Look for in a Topical Product

Name a skin-care category, and there’s probably a product featuring hyaluronic acid. You’ll find the ingredient in numerous products, including:

* Serums
* Sheet masks
* Eye creams
* Moisturizers
* Cleansers
* Lip treatments

Before you purchase a topical product, follow these steps:

### Check for Allergens and Vitamin C

Watch out for any ingredients you’re allergic to or that have caused you irritation in the past, Gasquet says.

Look for a hyaluronic acid product that also lists vitamin C as an ingredient. The two ingredients work together to boost effectiveness, according to the [Cleveland Clinic](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/skin-care-ingredients-explained/).

RELATED: [Everything You Need to Know About Vitamin C Serums](https://www.everydayhealth.com/skin-beauty/what-are-benefits-risks-vitamin-c-serums/)

### Look for Its Molecular Weight

When you’re searching for a product, check to see if its molecular weight is listed. It isn’t always, but it’s worth looking for because it can give you a clue as to how effective the product will be. Acids with lower molecular weights (50 kilodaltons versus 2,000, for instance) can more easily penetrate the skin and have been shown to be more effective at fighting wrinkles, according to [one study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/)*.* That study found that even a 0.1 percent concentration of hyaluronic acid led to increased hydration and elasticity, though most products will have 1 or 2 percent.

### See if Alcohol Is Listed

Alcohol can counteract the ingredient’s moisturizing benefits. “Isopropyl alcohol is very drying and can leave skin vulnerable to cracking, allowing skin break and possibly irritants and bacteria to enter where they do not belong,” Gasquet says. “In addition, the ‘drying effect’ can cause the cells to become less plump, the complete reverse effect of what we want.” She says to look at where alcohol appears on the ingredients list. Ingredients are listed in order of concentration, so if it’s one of the first six ingredients, the product may be drying, Gasquet says.

### Avoid Fragrance

[Nazanin Saedi, MD](https://plymouthmeetingdermatology.com/our-practice/nazanin-saedi-md/), the department cochair of the Laser and Aesthetics Surgery Center at Dermatology Associates of Plymouth Meeting in Pennsylvania, says products with added fragrance can cause irritation or breakouts in people with sensitive skin, so it’s best to steer clear. Fragrance can also lead to [contact dermatitis,](https://www.everydayhealth.com/eczema/symptoms/contact-dermatitis-triggers-may-surprise-you/) which is a skin rash that can appear minutes to days after contact with a trigger, says [Cleveland Clinic](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/6173-contact-dermatitis).

### Don’t Shy Away From Water

Often, you’ll see that water is the first ingredient on your hyaluronic acid product. It may seem like a useless ingredient, as if it’s diluting the product, but it actually helps make the hyaluronic acid more effective. “Having a more water-based product — rather than a cream, oil, or gel — will allow the product to penetrate the skin more easily,” Gasquet says.
