The appeal of HA lies in its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. As a humectant; this ingredient draws water from the surrounding environment into the top stratum corneum of the skin; However, you need to apply a moisturizer to lock it in, otherwise the HA will be sucked back out, causing the skin to dry out and not benefit from this ingredient.
