In the quench of skincare, I am on my way to finding the right products that deliver on their promises. After trying out various serums like Foxtale Hyaluronic Serum and Lakme Dew Drama Serum, one product that has been grabbing my attention is Dr. Sheth’s Haldi and Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Last time I was about to buy Dr. Sheth’s sunscreen and instead, I bought Foxtale Dewy sunscreen. So, I thought to give this brand a try as many bloggers and influencers are raving about their products. This serum, formulated with potent ingredients like turmeric (haldi) and hyaluronic acid, addresses various skin concerns while providing hydration and nourishment. And that is what tempted me the most, the ingredients. Let’s dig deeper into how this hyaluronic acid serum works on dry skin.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, that attracts and holds onto the moisture. When applied to the skin, it forms a barrier on the skin’s surface, preventing moisture loss and providing a deep hydration boost. These molecules can hold up to 1000 times their weight in water, making it a powerhouse for plumping up dehydrated skin.
Hyaluronic Acid and molecular weight:
It has varying weights, determining how deep it can penetrate the skin’s layers. Depending on their molecular weight, hyaluronic acid can be roughly divided into High molecular weight (HMW), Medium molecular weight (MMW), and Low molecular weight. We won’t be able to get into much detail, but if you want to read more about this, please check Skin Library.
