Face Creams & Moisturisers with Hyaluronic Acid
(15)
Hyaluronic acid is one of skincare's most effective hydrators, a humectant that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water to keep skin plump, smooth and comfortable. Your skin faces constant challenges, from sun, heat and dry air to stress, fatigue and the natural ageing process, all of which can leave it dehydrated. Clarins hyaluronic acid moisturisers, serums and creams are formulated with plant extracts and double hyaluronic acid to attract moisture into the skin and help hold it there for lasting hydration. Created in France and suitable for all skin types, the Hydra-Essentiel [HA²] range helps reveal a fresher, plumper and more radiant complexion every day.

Any questions?
Our experts have the answers.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that occurs naturally in the skin and eyes, where it binds and holds water. It can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which is what makes it such a powerful hydrating ingredient in skincare. The Clarins Hydra-Essentiel [HA²] range combines the power of plants with double hyaluronic acid to rehydrate thirsty skin and help keep that moisture locked in for all-day comfort.
What role does hyaluronic acid play in skincare?
Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in keeping skin hydrated, plump and supple by attracting and retaining moisture in the upper layers of the skin. As we age and face environmental factors such as sun and dry air, the skin's natural hyaluronic acid levels and moisture balance can decline over time. Using skincare with hyaluronic acid helps support the skin's hydration, so if your skin feels tight, dull or dehydrated, a face cream or serum with hyaluronic acid is worth considering.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid?
The main benefit of hyaluronic acid is deep, lasting hydration, which helps skin look plumper and smoother and softens the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness. Hyaluronic acid is a key component that gives skin its structure and helps maintain a plump, hydrated look. Key benefits include:
- Helps hydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Supports the look of skin elasticity and bounce through hydration
- Helps maintain a comfortable, balanced moisture level for all skin types
Which skin types is hyaluronic acid suitable for?
Hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types, including oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin, because it hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy. It occurs naturally in the body, so it is gentle and well tolerated by most people. This is why the Hydra-Essentiel [HA²] range offers a choice of textures, from lighter gels for oilier skin to richer creams for drier skin.
How do you use hyaluronic acid for best results?
For best results, apply hyaluronic acid to slightly damp skin so it has water to bind to, then layer a moisturiser on top to seal that hydration in. It can be used morning and night, and layers well under other products, including sunscreen in your daytime routine. Applying it consistently is what keeps skin looking plump and hydrated over time.
