What is Hyaluronic Acid?

There are waves of Asian skincare products that contain hyaluronic acid. We know it’s good for us, because otherwise why would companies heavily promote this ingredient? Below is what I gathered through some brief research: 
“Hyaluronic acid is a complex sugar, known as a glycosaminoglycan, and is found throughout the body. It is particularly prevalent in connective tissue, the synovial fluid around joints, the eyes, the heart, the intervertebral spinal disks and the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is also a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. Topically applied, hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin.  The protective barrier on the skin locks in moisture, which gives the skin a youthful appearance. As we age, skin moisture can drop significantly, which creates aging like effects on skin appearance as it loses its elasticity.” 

Review:

Anyone familiar with Japanese skincare would tell you this is one of the best selling beauty products in Japan, and it’s true. According to their website, one bottle is sold every two seconds, so that makes them easily the number one face lotion there. I can see why it’s so popular because it really is an amazing product. I use this every night after I shower and it makes my skin feel instantly hydrated. It’s a fragrance free, water-like substance that can be easily applied and absorbed onto skin. After using this product it makes my face feel smooth and moisturized. It does not feel sticky at all, because it absorbs quickly. This product is great for any skin type as it is fragrance, alcohol, and oil free.  I really can’t think of any cons for this product because that’s how much I love it
