Customers are raving about this affordable hyaluronic acid face cream - and it's available in Boots

'Hyaluronic acid' may sound a little daunting, but it's actually an incredibly smoothing and plumping skincare ingredient and a must-have for any anti-ageing beauty routine.
A common beauty industry buzzword, much like retinol and glycolic acids, hyaluronic acid is the hero ingredient of many of the beauty products stocked on shelves - but what actually is it?
Hyaluronic acid can actually be found within our own skin cells, but it depletes as we get older. Levels dip due to the ageing process, but they’re also affected by environmental conditions, such as exposure to extreme temperatures and pollution. Opting for a serum or moisturiser containing hyaluronic acid is a fast track to smoother, softer, more youthful skin.
