I was recently working on the skincare section of my shop, adding category sections for popular ingredients like Vitamin C, Bakuchiol and Niacinamide, because so many customers ask for products with these actives. But when it came to Hyaluronic Acid, it was in so many products that a dedicated section would be far too overwhelming, so instead I thought this guide might be more helpful.

The reason Hyaluronic Acid shows up in so many formulas is because it is such a powerful hydrator, known for its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It does a beautiful job of plumping and smoothing the skin for that bouncy, hydrated look. As we age, our natural levels decline, which is why topical skincare and supplements can both play a role in supporting hydration. Here is a look at the best natural hyaluronic acid options I have found across skincare and wellness.

Topical hyaluronic acid

While we usually talk about hyaluronic acid for the face, it is just as useful for hair. Before getting into the skincare, this is one of my favourite ways to use it for smoother, frizz-free hair.

Vanessa Megan Anti-Frizz Smoothing Serum with Hyaluronic Acid

A lightweight leave-in serum for all hair types, Vanessa Megan Anti-Frizz Smoothing Serum with Hyaluronic Acid brings the hydrating benefits of hyaluronic acid into hair care. It helps tame frizz and smooth flyaways without weighing the hair down or leaving a greasy finish. Silica-rich bamboo extract enhances shine, hyaluronic acid supports moisture retention, and rice peptides help strengthen and improve manageability. It works beautifully on wet or dry hair and comes packaged in a glass bottle.

100% Pure Rose Hyaluronic Acid Serum

A hydrating serum for sensitive, dry and dehydrated skin, 100% Pure Rose Hyaluronic Acid Serum combines hyaluronic acid with beta glucan to support the skin barrier and sodium PCA to attract and retain moisture. Rose hydrosol tones and refreshes, while chamomile and calendula help calm the skin. The lightweight gel absorbs quickly without residue, making it ideal under moisturiser or on its own for a plump, hydrated complexion.

Vanessa Megan Collagen Boosting Gel Hyaluronic Acid Serum

A plumping gel serum for dehydrated and mature skin, Vanessa Megan Collagen Boosting Gel Hyaluronic Acid Serum uses hyaluronic acid to draw moisture into the skin while supporting the delivery of nutrients within the upper layers. Australian botanicals like kangaroo paw and banksia provide antioxidant support and help improve the look of elasticity. It also doubles as a makeup primer for a smooth, hydrated base.

Black Chicken Remedies Hyaluronic Acid Gel

A lightweight hydrating gel for dehydrated and dull skin, Black Chicken Remedies Hyaluronic Acid Gel combines plant-based hyaluronic acid with chamomile water and witch hazel to calm and balance. It also includes a blend of essential oils to refresh the skin. The fast-absorbing texture hydrates without heaviness, leaving a natural glow and helping soften the appearance of fine lines.

MooGoo Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide Active Serum

A hydrating serum for all skin types including oily and blemish-prone, MooGoo Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide Active Serum uses two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate at the surface while supporting deeper moisture levels. It helps plump the skin and soften the look of fine lines, while niacinamide helps balance oil production and support a healthy skin barrier. It has a silky texture and absorbs easily.

Metamorphosis Awaken Hyaluronic Acid Prep Spritz

A hydrating facial mist for perimenopausal and menopausal skin, Metamorphosis Awaken Hyaluronic Acid Prep Spritz combines hyaluronic acid with wild yam and botanical extracts to help hydrate, soften and improve the look of elasticity. It works as a prep step before serums, a midday hydration boost, or a dewy base under moisturiser.

Vanessa Megan Silver and Hyaluronic Acid Collagen Boosting Sheet Mask

An intensive hydrating treatment for all skin types, Vanessa Megan Silver and Hyaluronic Acid Collagen Boosting Sheet Mask combines hyaluronic acid with colloidal silver and Australian botanicals to leave the skin looking smooth, calm and plump. It comes in a pack of three and is perfect for at-home treatments.

Biode Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid

A hydrating night cream for all skin types, Biode Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid combines hyaluronic acid with zinc-rich pumpkin seed oil and mineral-rich marine algae to support overnight hydration and improve the look of skin elasticity. It helps replenish the moisture barrier, leaving the skin feeling smoother and more resilient by morning.

Hyaluronic acid supplements

Topical hyaluronic acid works at the surface of the skin, while supplements support hydration from within. The two approaches work well together, with skincare providing immediate hydration and supplements supporting longer-term skin moisture levels.

Melrose Collagen Daily Glow + Hyaluronic Acid

A daily collagen and hyaluronic acid powder, Melrose Collagen Daily Glow + Hyaluronic Acid provides hydrolysed collagen peptides alongside hyaluronic acid to support skin hydration and structure. Astaxanthin and a blend of antioxidant-rich berries help support overall skin health from within.

The Age Hack HLA Hyaluronic Acid Capsules

A daily hyaluronic acid supplement for skin hydration, Age Hack HLA Capsules provide pure sodium hyaluronate to support hydration from within and improve the appearance of skin smoothness and elasticity. It is a simple, clean formula with no fillers.
