The One Ingredient Every Routine Needs: Hyaluronic Acid

Why Hydration Comes Before Everything Else

Most skin concerns, from fine lines to a dull complexion, get worse when the skin is dehydrated. Hyaluronic acid is one of the few ingredients that works for nearly every skin type because its job is simple: hold onto water.

At The 5th Elements, we often layer hyaluronic acid into facials and boosters because it makes every other product work better on properly hydrated skin.

• Holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water

• Plumps the appearance of fine lines

• Works for oily, dry, and combination skin

• Pairs well with almost any other active ingredient

A simple rule we give clients: if your skin feels tight a few hours after washing your face, it's asking for more hydration, not less product.
