Have you heard of Hyaluronic Acid? If you're not familiar with this skin care ingredient, you're probably thinking it's a peel? Well, it's actually an incredibly powerful ingredient that has nothing to do with exfoliating. It's the key to super hydrated, plumped, glowy skin!
Hyaluronic Acid is a natural compound - we're all born with in our bodies and like most of the good stuff, it decreases with age. Hyaluronic Acid is found in our joints, muscles and in our skin - it's kind of the CRC of the body - without it we'd become brittle and dry.
As an ingredient, the easiest way to describe Hyaluronic Acid is that it is a 'dermal filler'. It's most magical property is that it can absorb and hold 1000 times its weight in water. By holding lots of water, it fills out wrinkles.
An equally impressive quality is that it preserves collagen, which in turn firms and plumps up the skin.
With all this talk of Hyaluronic Acid, you might have guessed...our next Trial Team features products containing this mighty ingredient.
Introducing the new Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Melon range!
The Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Melon Smoothing Milky Cleanser is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Watermelon to remove impurities and make up for smooth, bouncier and hydrated skin. It's designed for dehydrated skin and to targetted fine lines.
The Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Melon Replumping Serum Cream combines 3 products into 1 simple step. It offers 24 hours of moisture, with the intensive results of a serum; as well as the protection of broad spectrum SPF 15! The lightweight formula is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Watermelon to replump dehydrated skin and fine lines.
I've used other creams with hyaluronic acid before (like the Neutrogena Hydroboost which I adore) so I would love to trial this new offering from Garnier. My skin tends to get dry in winter and I would love to see smoother, more hydrated skin
