Hydration

Hyaluronic Acid

The hydration powerhouse

A naturally occurring molecule in the body capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. In skincare, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the environment into the skin, delivering immediate plumpness and long-lasting hydration without adding oiliness. Suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone.

The Problem

Many people with oily or acne-prone skin avoid moisturising for fear of breakouts — leading to dehydrated skin that paradoxically overproduces oil to compensate. Finding hydration that won't clog pores or trigger acne is a persistent challenge.

The Solution

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant — it pulls water into the skin from the environment rather than sitting on the surface like occlusive moisturisers. It hydrates without any oil or film, making it the ideal hydration source for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Paired with niacinamide in Larupa's serum, it balances sebum while maintaining skin hydration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hyaluronic acid good for oily skin?+
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is a water-based humectant with no oil content, making it ideal for oily skin. It hydrates without adding shine or clogging pores. Properly hydrated skin also produces less compensatory sebum, reducing overall oiliness over time.
Can hyaluronic acid cause breakouts?+
No. Hyaluronic acid is non-comedogenic and one of the most universally tolerated skincare ingredients. It does not contain any pore-clogging components and is safe for acne-prone skin.
How quickly does hyaluronic acid work?+
The plumping and hydration effect of hyaluronic acid is visible almost immediately after application. The skin feels softer and looks more dewy within minutes. Long-term improvements in texture and fine lines develop over weeks of consistent use.
Which Larupa product contains hyaluronic acid?+
Larupa's 10% Niacinamide Face Serum with Zinc includes hyaluronic acid to ensure the skin stays hydrated while niacinamide and zinc PCA control oiliness — a balanced approach that treats acne without drying the skin.

Safety note: One of the safest skincare ingredients. Non-comedogenic and non-irritating for all skin types.
