Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally produced by the body that’s found in bones, connective tissue, cartilage, hair follicles, and skin. As a humectant, it helps skin retain moisture.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that’s naturally present in high levels in the skin. It helps protect the skin from ultraviolet (UV) sun and other environmental damage.

Why they’re a team?

Dr. Dendy Engelman, Dermatologist, Manhattan Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, Director of Dermatologic Surgery, Metropolitan Hospital says “It’s not a coincidence. Hyaluronic acid helps keep skin moisturized, while vitamin C protects from sun damage and can help fade skin discoloration. Both ingredients can help reduce the signs of aging in skin, especially when they’re used together.”
