When it comes to achieving radiant, plump, and youthful-looking skin, hydration is non-negotiable. No matter your skin type—oily, dry, or combination—maintaining moisture balance is the cornerstone of healthy skin. Among all hydrating ingredients, one stands above the rest: hyaluronic acid (HA).
At Pt78 Skin and Body, we believe hyaluronic acid is not just a skincare trend but a timeless essential. Backed by science and trusted by dermatologists worldwide, HA has earned its place in every effective skincare routine. In this article, we’ll explore what makes it so powerful, why it’s vital for Australians in particular, and which SkinCeuticals and Pt78 formulas deliver optimal hydration.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found in the skin that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It works like a sponge, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin’s surface layers.
As we age, natural HA levels decline, leading to dullness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and Australia’s often harsh climate only accelerate this decline. This is why supplementing your routine with a topical HA serum is one of the best things you can do for your skin.
Key Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid
Immediate hydration – Provides plumpness and glow.
Improved skin barrier – Protects against environmental stressors.
Reduced fine lines – Hydrated skin looks smoother and firmer.
Compatible with all skin types – Lightweight, non-irritating, and works well alongside other actives.
Boosts other products – Enhances absorption of serums and moisturisers layered on top.

How to Incorporate Hyaluronic Acid into Your Routine
Cleanse first – Start with a gentle cleanser like SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser or Pt78 Cream Cleanser to prepare your skin.
Apply serum on damp skin – This helps HA attract more water for deeper hydration.
Layer a moisturiser – Seal in hydration with SkinCeuticals Emollience or Pt78 Moisture+.
Don’t skip sunscreen – Finish your morning routine with SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF50 to protect your results.
Boost weekly – Treat your skin to a hydration mask like SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Mask for an extra dose of moisture.
Hyaluronic Acid in Australia: Why It Matters More
Australia’s unique climate—often hot, dry, and UV-intense—means skin loses moisture more quickly. Air conditioning, heating, and even swimming in saltwater or chlorinated pools can strip hydration further.
For Australians, hyaluronic acid isn’t just a luxury, it’s a daily necessity. Serums like Pt78 Brighten B and SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Serum deliver lightweight yet effective solutions that suit all skin types and climates.

Hydration is the backbone of any great skincare routine, and hyaluronic acid is the most effective way to achieve it. Whether you prefer the clinical strength and reputation of SkinCeuticals or the naturally derived, vegan formulations of Pt78 Skin and Body, there’s a perfect HA product for your skin.
