Deeply Hydrates & Plumps Skin ā Apply to Damp Skin Daily
A 2% Hyaluronic Acid serum that draws moisture into skin cells and holds it there for lasting hydration and plumpness. Apply to slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing for maximum effect ā works from day one.
"My skin feels plump and hydrated all day. Absolutely love this serum." ā Sadia
Skin Type: All skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin ā Hyaluronic Acid adds hydration without oil or heaviness.
Targets: Dryness, dehydration, skin tightness, and moisture loss caused by Pakistan's hard water, heat and active ingredient use.
Suited to: Ages 16+.
No introduction period required. Safe for immediate twice-daily use from day one ā no gradual build-up needed.
Important technique note: Always apply to slightly damp skin, not dry skin. This is the single most important factor in how effectively this serum works ā see How to Use for details.
Consult your doctor before use if: you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as general precaution before introducing any new active ā though Hyaluronic Acid is widely considered one of the lowest-risk ingredients in skincare.
SkinFactor's 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a leave-on hydration treatment designed for dehydrated skin in Pakistan's climate. Where a moisturiser adds hydration to the skin surface, hyaluronic acid works deeper ā drawing water from lower skin layers into the surface cells and holding it there, maintaining the moisture levels that keep the skin barrier functioning correctly.
Why dehydration is a specific problem in Pakistan:
Hard water across Punjab and most of the country leaves mineral deposits on the skin after washing, disrupting surface pH and accelerating moisture loss. Pakistan's extreme heat increases transepidermal water loss ā water evaporates from the skin faster than the barrier can retain it. Air conditioning removes ambient humidity. And active ingredients ā salicylic acid, kojic acid, glycolic acid ā all exfoliate the surface, temporarily increasing moisture loss in the process. The result is dehydration that affects oily and acne-prone skin just as frequently as dry skin.
Why 2% is the working concentration:
Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1000 times its weight in water. At 2% ā the concentration in this serum ā it delivers meaningful humectant activity rather than the trace amounts found in formulations where it appears as a supporting ingredient rather than a primary active. The formula also includes Vitamin B5 (panthenol) for barrier repair and Sodium PCA ā a natural moisturising factor that occurs in healthy skin ā to support sustained hydration between applications.
How to use:
Apply to slightly damp skin after cleansing ā while the skin is still slightly moist from washing. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture from available water sources; applying to damp skin gives it immediate moisture to draw from and hold at the surface. Follow with SkinFactor's 10% Ceramide Complex Cream to seal the hydration in. Used together, the HA serum draws moisture in and the ceramide cream prevents it from evaporating ā the most complete approach to barrier hydration available in a two-step routine.
Suitable for all skin types
including oily and acne-prone ā hyaluronic acid adds no oil or heaviness, only water content. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free.

STEP 1
Cleanse your face as normal. Do not towel-dry completely ā leave skin slightly damp.
STEP 2
Apply a pea-sized amount of Hyaluronic Acid Serum to your still-damp face and neck. This is the most important step ā Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture from available water sources, so applying it to damp skin gives it surface moisture to pull in and hold. Applying to fully dry skin, especially in a dry or air-conditioned environment, can cause it to draw moisture from deeper skin layers instead.
STEP 3
Gently press and smooth over the face and neck until absorbed.
STEP 4
Follow immediately with 10% Ceramide Complex Cream to seal the hydration in. Applying the serum alone without sealing it allows the moisture to evaporate rather than stay locked in.
STEP 5
In the morning, finish with SPF 50 Sunscreen.
When to Use: Morning and evening, every day. No introduction period needed ā safe for immediate twice-daily use.
Common mistake to avoid: Applying this serum to completely dry skin. In Pakistan's hot, dry, or air-conditioned environments, Hyaluronic Acid on dry skin can pull moisture from deeper layers instead of holding surface moisture ā leaving skin more dehydrated, not less. Always apply within seconds of cleansing while skin is still damp.
Tip: This serum is compatible with every other active ingredient in the SkinFactor range and can be layered with Salicylic Acid, Kojic Acid, Vitamin C, Niacinamide or Retinol without any interaction concerns ā it is often used specifically to offset the dryness these stronger actives can cause.
Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture into skin immediately ā the only active in this range with results you can see within minutes.

| Timeframe | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Within minutes | Skin feels plumper immediately, provided it's applied to damp skin. |
| Days 1-3 | Visibly reduced tightness with consistent use. |
| Week 1-2 | Sustained hydration becomes the new baseline. |
| What Affects Results | Always apply to damp skin and seal with moisturiser immediately ā dry-skin application reduces effectiveness significantly. |
