The Power Duo: Combining Hyaluronic Acid And Vitamin C

One hydrates, one brightens, and both are excellent for your skin. Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C are two iconic ingredients. What happens when you combine the two? And which should you apply first? In this guide, we’ll cover how to successfully layer Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamin C for knockout results.

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for your skin?

Your body produces Hyaluronic Acid naturally, to lubricate your joints, eyes, and skin. That means when you apply it to your face, it soaks into skin to lock in moisture while improving elasticity and tone. In short, Hyaluronic Acid prevents dryness and all the irritation that comes with it.

Hyaluronic Acid production ramps down as we age, so it’s more important than ever to replenish your stores with the right treatments.

What does Vitamin C do for your skin?

Vitamin C is a handy little antioxidant that fights free radicals, pollutants, and toxins. Vitamin C helps reduce pigmentation, lightening and brightening for an even skin tone. You can give your skin a brightening boost with a choice of creams, cleansers and serums in our Vitamin C range by L'Oréal Paris.  

Can I use Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamin C?

Now the big question: can you combine Hyaluronic Acid with Vitamin C? Yes! In fact, this dynamic duo works better together to banish dull, dry skin for good. While Vitamin C protects skin against free radicals, Hyaluronic Acid works hard to hydrate each skin cell from within. Together, they tackle the visible signs of ageing, minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

There’s another reason why you should combine Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, especially if you have sensitive skin. For some, Vitamin C can make your skin feel dry and irritated. By adding soothing Hyaluronic Acid into the mix, you create a moisture barrier that protects skin from this irritation.

Discover Revitalift range with Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid

Ready to explore the benefits of using Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid together? Get started with the Revitalift range from L'Oréal Paris. It includes clinically proven, targeted treatments that put the two ingredients at their core.

Up to 80% of skin ageing is caused by UV rays, so don’t skimp on the sun protection. Revitalift SPF 50 + Vitamin C Daily Invisible Fluid not only blocks UV rays – it’s enriched with Vitamin C to prevent photo-ageing, along with Hyaluronic Acid to replenish moisture.  

For a potent dose of Vitamin C, try our 12% Pure Vitamin C Face Brightening Serum. It guards against ageing by visibly reducing pores and smoothing the appearance of fine lines. The formula also includes Hyaluronic Acid to re-plump and hydrate, while making it gentle enough for sensitive skin.

And if you want an even more concentrated Hyaluronic Acid treatment, why not try our Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Wrinkle Serum? Enriched with micro-epidermic Hyaluronic Acid, it penetrates through the skin cell surface to plump up skin cells.

How to use Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C together.

Using Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C is easy when they come in the same formula. If you’re using separate serums, however, you might be wondering whether to apply Hyaluronic Acid before or after Vitamin C. Here are a few tips for how to use Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C serum most effectively.

  • Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C can both be applied day and/or night as part of your routine.
  • If you have dry or sensitive skin, apply Hyaluronic Acid first for a protective layer of moisture.
  • Apply the thinnest formulation first. For example, apply a concentrated Vitamin C serum before a Hyaluronic Acid moisturiser.
  • No matter the order, wait a few minutes between layers to give your product time to soak in.
  • After applying your serums, seal them in with a day moisturiser or night cream.

The path to a better-looking complexion often involves combining Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C. Gentle Hyaluronic Acid provides deep hydration, while Vitamin C targets dull skin and protects it from environmental damage. It’s well worth incorporating both into your routine. Browse our Revitalift Clinical Range to maximise the benefits, correcting the signs of ageing for skin that glows.
