Can It Really Help Your Skin?...

As we age moisture can drop off significantly, which makes the skin lose elasticity and expose the natural signs of aging on the skin. Topical, rather than injectable, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) plays a critical role in skin health with it's unique ability to hold in moisture. Hyaluronic Acid is also a "smart nutrient" as it can adjust its moisture absorption into your skin based on the humidity-relative to the season and climate.

According to the 1999 Journal of Investigative Technology, Hyaluronic Acid penetrates the skin so that the skin is able to absorb just the right amount of moisture. Unlike Collagen, HA is able to penetrate the skin's upper layers to improve and benefit the skin when applied topically. Elavonne, a skincare blog with over 20 years experience in developing researched based formulas to improve health says, "Hyaluronic Acid is a major component of skin, where it benefits tissue repair and protection." Hyaluronic Acid is IMPERATIVE to good skin health.

Is Botanical Hyaluronic Acid more safe and effective than the chemical version?

Yes! Clinical studies have shown it has a better effect on the skin than man-made Hyaluronic Acid in providing higher moisturizing, softening and overall improvement of skin complexion.

Where does Botanical Hyaluronic Acid come from?

Botanical hyaluronic acid is derived from a plant called Cassia Angustifolia (Senna alexandria).

Where does chemical Hyaluronic Acid come from?

Up until the late 1990’s, the only way of deriving Hyaluronic Acid was to get it from animal-based sources, such as rooster combs. No thank you!

Added Benefits of Botanical Hyaluronic Acid!

1. Deep Hydration
Botanical hyaluronic acid acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the environment and locking it into the skin. This results in lasting hydration that helps maintain a supple, well-moisturized complexion.

2. Natural Plumping Effect
By retaining water in the skin, it visibly plumps the surface—softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

3. Enhanced Skin Elasticity
With consistent hydration, the skin becomes more elastic and resilient. This boost in firmness supports a tighter, more lifted look over time.

4. Strengthens Skin Barrier
It reinforces the skin’s natural protective barrier, helping defend against environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays, which can lead to premature aging.

5. Visible, Long-Term Results
Regular use promotes improvements in skin texture and tone, revealing a more radiant, even, and healthy-looking complexion.

* Dr. Lucy products were designed to detect your skin's needs and then act on those detections. What do you mean by "detect" your skin care needs? Naturally potent, botanical ingredients such as botanical hyaluronic acid, can actually sense the weather conditions, then adjust to your own personal environmental needs whether it be the lack of moisture in the air or humectants.
