Hyaluronic Acid and Sun: Can They Be Combined?

Hyaluronic Acid and Sun: Can They Be Combined?

Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its moisturizing and plumping power. Widely present in serums and creams, it often forms part of our skincare routine all year round. But with the arrival of warmer weather, a question frequently arises: can we continue to use hyaluronic acid when exposed to the sun?

Hyaluronic acid, a moisturizing active ingredient… with no sun risk

Unlike exfoliating acids (such as AHAs or BHAs), hyaluronic acid is not photosensitizing. This means it doesn't make the skin more sensitive to UV rays. On the contrary, it can even be a valuable ally in summer: it helps the skin retain water, compensates for moisture loss due to heat and sun, and helps maintain supple, plump, and comfortable skin.

Which form of hyaluronic acid for summer?

In cosmetics: serums or creams based on hyaluronic acid are perfect for summer. Opt for light, non-greasy textures that absorb quickly.

Good practices to adopt in the sun

• Apply a hyaluronic acid product to clean, slightly damp skin to optimize its moisturizing power.
• Always protect your skin with an SPF 30 to 50, especially if you have had recent injections.
• Hydrate well: drinking water remains essential for plump skin, especially in hot weather.

Hyaluronic acid and sun are perfectly compatible. Non-photosensitizing, it provides the skin with all the hydration it needs to face summer aggressions. Integrated into an adapted routine and combined with effective sun protection, it becomes a choice ally for maintaining beautiful skin all summer long.
