About this deal
Skin health (especially dryness, scarring, stiffness and skin diseases like scleroderma and actinic keratosis). However, that’s not to say that oily and acne-prone skin types should steer clear. As Somerville tells her clients, oily skin still needs hydration – just in a lightweight form. "Hyaluronic acid is perfect because it feels weightless on the skin and is water-based, not oil-based." It helps keep things hydrated. Hyaluronic acid is very good at retaining water. A quarter-teaspoon of hyaluronic acid holds about one and a half gallons of water. That’s why hyaluronic acid is often used for treating dry eyes. It’s also used in moisturizing creams, lotions, ointments and serums.
Diane Madfes, MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City specializing in dermatology and dermatologic surgery.Hyaluronic acid also comes in handy as you age. Mature skin is prone to lower levels of hyaluronic acid – and hence, hydration – so using a potent serum (or even a daily cream) will help to promote healthier, more balanced skin. Generally, an oil-based age-fighting hand moisturizer has a base of jojoba oil, rosehip seed oil, grape seed oil, argan oil, or avocado oil. These oils not only replenish and repair your hands but at the same time, they also balance the saturation of sebum and natural oil under your skin so that it is healthy and glowy than ever before. Aside from cell regeneration, retinol also increases the collagen production by several notches to not only make your hands look firmer and more elastic but also to actively eliminate crepey skin and prominent veins and present you with a set of smoother and younger-looking hands.

If your skin falls into the sensitivity camp, don't worry – hyaluronic acid is a gentle ingredient that can be used on conditions like rosacea and even acne. Moreover, as it has anti-inflammatory properties, beeswax helps to form a protective barrier between your skin and the environment so that your hands do not age due to environmental factors. It also has a non-comedogenic feature which adds to its age-fighting benefits. The must-have features in a nutshell
