Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water — a claim that's technically true but slightly misleading in skincare context. It's an excellent humectant that draws moisture to the skin, but works best in humid environments or when sealed with an occlusive.
