How to apply a Hyaluronic Acid serum?

How to properly apply your serum for optimal hydration?

Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its exceptional moisturizing properties, which help plump the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. However, to get the most out of it, it is essential to know how to apply it correctly. Here is a complete guide to properly apply your hyaluronic acid serum and maximize its benefits.

1. Prepare your skin before applying the serum

Before applying your hyaluronic acid serum, make sure your skin is clean and slightly damp. Here are the preparation steps:

• Cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove impurities, excess sebum, and makeup.
• Toner (optional): If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing to balance the skin's pH and remove any remaining traces of dirt.

Clean skin allows for better product absorption.

2. Apply the serum to damp skin

One of the key points to maximize the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid is to apply it to slightly damp skin. Why? Because HA is a hydrophilic molecule, meaning it attracts moisture. By applying your serum to damp skin, you give it a source of water it can capture and retain.

• Technique: After washing your face, leave it slightly damp or spray a little thermal water or mist. Then, place a few drops of serum (2 to 3 are enough) on your fingertips.
• Gentle massage: Gently apply to your face by lightly tapping with your fingertips, without rubbing. Use circular motions to spread the serum evenly, focusing on areas where you have wrinkles or increased dryness (forehead, eye contour, cheeks, etc.).

3. Seal in hydration with a moisturizer

After applying your serum, wait a few seconds for it to penetrate the skin, then apply a cream suited to your skin type.

• Tip: Choose a moisturizer containing occlusive agents like ceramides, vegetable oils, or butters to strengthen the skin barrier and maintain moisture.

4. Don't forget sunscreen during the day

If you apply your hyaluronic acid serum in the morning, remember to finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). This will protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays and prevent the skin from drying out due to the sun.

5. Combine with other active ingredients

Hyaluronic acid combines well with many other active ingredients to offer a complete and effective routine. Here are some examples:

• Vitamin C: For maximum radiance, apply a vitamin C serum in the morning before your hyaluronic acid serum.
• Retinol: In the evening, hyaluronic acid can help compensate for the potentially drying effects of retinol, while boosting its anti-aging effects.
• Niacinamide: This soothing vitamin complements the moisturizing action of HA, while improving skin texture and reducing redness.

French Filler Hyaluronic Acid Serum

H-filler serum is a concentrate of active ingredients developed by healthcare professionals from aesthetic medicine, to treat signs of skin aging and restore comfort to the skin.

At the heart of aesthetic procedures, Hyaluronic Acid plays a key role in anti-aging prevention and treatment. It is with this in mind that the French Filler laboratory chose to integrate a combination of Hyaluronic Acids of different molecular weights into its formula.

High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid

Surface action on the epidermis.

Large molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, it does not penetrate the skin barrier, it remains on the surface where it forms a protective veil against dehydration.

Maintains a good level of hydration - Fills and plumps wrinkles and fine lines

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid

Deep action in skin tissues.

Hyaluronic acid in micromolecules, it passes the skin barrier and penetrates deeply.

It acts in the deep layers of the epidermis where it retains water for better hydration. This penetration helps reactivate collagen production and the synthesis of new natural Hyaluronic acid molecules, thus preventing skin sagging.
