What is hyaluronic acid?What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it’s a substance that retains moisture. It naturally occurs in our body, particularly in our skin and eyes. However, with age, it's levels decline naturally, similar to collagen and elastin.
With our skin constantly exposed to environmental stressors and daily life, reaching for a hyaluronic acid-rich product is a simple, yet highly efficacious way to care for your skin.

How to use hyaluronic acid
No matter at which stage you use hyaluronic acid, keep these tips in mind:

When to use hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine
When to use hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine
Knowing the best time to incorporate hyaluronic acid into your routine can be the difference between a good skincare routine, and an optimal one for your skin type and goals.
Below, we discuss ideal practices for adding hyaluronic acid into your morning and evening routines.
Morning Skincare Routine
After your morning cleanse while your skin is still damp, apply toner and then a hyaluronic acid serum. We love the Skin Repair™ Hydrating Serum, which uses a plant-based hyaluronic acid* to instantly refresh and replenish skin.
Make sure you apply moisturiser and SPF afterwards, to seal in the hydration all day long while protecting skin against the sun’s UV rays.
Evening Skincare Routine
In the evenings, hyaluronic acid can help support overnight skin recovery.
The Skin Repair™ Hydrating Night Cream contains a blend of plant-based hyaluronic acid alongside snow mushroom, niacinamide and 4 o’clock flower; together, this formula hydrates, soothes and promotes night-time skin renewal.
When applied at the end of your go-to evening routine, this hyaluronic acid moisturiser hydrates and moisturises skin all night long.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hyaluronic AcidFrequently Asked Questions About Hyaluronic Acid
Can you use too much hyaluronic acid?
Yes, you can use too much hyaluronic acid. This ingredient works by drawing in moisture from your environment, which is why it’s recommended you apply onto damp skin. But, if it’s overused, it may pull moisture from deeper layers of the skin instead, which can lead to dryness.
Our solution? Use only once or twice a day; for example, as a serum* in the morning, and as a night cream.
What to look for in a hyaluronic acid product
Hyaluronic acid also works fantastically with other ingredients. Try to examine your skin type and goals to understand what ingredients will pair best with hyaluronic acid. For example, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, paired together in our Skin Repair™ Night Cream, help hydrate while brightening the look of skin tone.
At Liz Earle, we believe in using ingredients sourced from the natural world in our skincare. Our plant-based hyaluronic acid is derived from wheat.
