3. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a hydration hero for all skin types, capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This ingredient draws moisture from the environment into your skin, leaving it looking plump, smooth, and refreshed. Compared to other humectants like glycerin, hyaluronic acid stands out for its lightweight feel and ability to deliver deep hydration without greasiness. For best results, apply it on damp skin and follow with a moisturizer to lock in all that precious moisture.
