As an esthetician, I’ve long recommended hyaluronic acid (HA) serums to clients. They’re easy to understand, familiar, and promise hydration. However, the question remains: Do you really need a separate hyaluronic acid serum? After reflecting on the evolution of skincare products and ingredients over the years, my answer has changed.
The Evolution of Skincare Ingredients
Years ago, I would have confidently told you that you needed a dedicated HA serum to maintain skin hydration. While it's true that our skin produces its own hyaluronic acid, the reality is that as we age, our natural production diminishes, and factors like harsh skincare products can strip our skin’s acid mantle. In a world of ever-evolving skincare, the necessity of a separate HA product has diminished.
Here’s why:
1. Hyaluronic Acid is Everywhere: Most modern skincare products already incorporate hyaluronic acid, from hydrating facial mists to moisturizers and even antioxidant serums. Why invest in a standalone serum when you can achieve similar hydration through products you’re likely already using?
2. Quality Matters: The market is flooded with hyaluronic acid serums, yet many fail to deliver. Some have molecular weights that prevent effective penetration into the skin, while others simply evaporate without providing lasting hydration. Unfortunately, they often leave you with the illusion of "glass skin" but without real benefits.
3. Better Alternatives Exist: There are alternative hydrating ingredients that can outperform hyaluronic acid, such as peptides, amino acids, beta glucan, aloe, panthenol, glycerin, and allantoin. These ingredients provide not only hydration but also nourishment and skin-soothing properties.
