Hyaluronic acid is the magical ingredient that has many of us clambering for more. I recently reviewed SkinPep’s Hydra Boost Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum which is full of it and previously, Indeed Labs’ Hydraluron Moisture Jelly.
If it works for you (as it does for me), then you will be pleased to know Hand Chemistry has a big bottle of its Hyaluronic Concentrate* which isn’t just for the face but for the body as well. It’s so easy to neglect the rest of the skin surface area in favour of the visage, possibly because the body especially is not exposed the way Amber Rose let’s it ALL hang out. *rolls eyes*
Nobody wants scaly hands like Madonna (ick!) which is why Hand Chemistry’s marvellous medicine for the skin is wonderfully formulated with a 19% marine hyaluronic complex which includes a 99.5% pure hyaluronic acid. This helps to ensure total hydration of the hands and body from beneath the skin’s surface. Now this is the part where it gets a little too scientific and technical for me but I have done my best to break it down.
Also thrown in the mix is something called tremella fuciformis, a mushroom derivative that forms a flexible hydration film over the skin, whilst providing antioxidant protection and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The concentrate also contains red marina algae which increases cell turnover, as well as tamarind to hydrate your skin below the surface. Tamarind? That’s the stuff mum drizzles over when she makes deliciously sinful yoghurt snacks like this.
Any hoo! The result is your skin looks plumper, firmer and smoother – exactly the same way as the face products work – and coupled with your favourite hand cream makes for extremely baby soft hands.
Hand Chemistry’s bottle comes with a fantastic pump which disposes the right amount to cover both hands (or one pump per arm). Non-perfumed and absorbent like water, your skin feels refreshed and soft.
I keep this on my desk as I’m forever pampering my hands, probably because I have no choice but to see them all the time as I’m always typing. After a few days use (twice a day), my hands were definitely softer and smoother – I was wondering if they were MY hands actually.
Hand Chemistry’s Hyaluronic Concentrate is usually £27.99 but is currently on offer in Boots for £20.77.
