Hyaluronic Acid: Smart hydration that holds 1000x its weight in water – DIME® Beauty Skip to content

 A humectant powerhouse that draws moisture into skin, plumps fine lines and boosts the performance of other products — without oil or heaviness.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most effective hydrators in skincare, capable of holding up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. In DIME formulas, hyaluronic acid (often listed in multiple molecular weights) soaks in easily, quickly recharges water levels and helps restore skin's suppleness. Because it's a hydrophilic humectant that draws water from the air, hyaluronic acid steadily replenishes hydration over time.

The power of multiple molecular weights

Not all hyaluronic acid is created equal. DIME formulas often feature two different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, each serving a specific purpose:

High molecular weight:

  • Sits on the skin's surface, forming a breathable moisture barrier.
  • Provides immediate plumpness and smoothness.
  • Helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Low molecular weight :

  • Penetrates deeper into skin layers.
  • Delivers hydration where it's needed most.
  • Supports long-term suppleness and elasticity.

By combining both, DIME's skincare formulas deliver surface-level dewiness and deep-layer hydration in one step.

What makes DIME's approach different

Hyaluronic acid acts as a carrier for other ingredients, which means it boosts the performance of products when used together. We formulate with clean beauty standards, pairing hyaluronic acid with complementary hydrators like squalane, barrier supporters like ceramides and actives like vitamin C or niacinamide.

How to use hyaluronic acid

Application is key:

  • Apply hyaluronic acid to damp skin
  • Follow with a moisturizer to seal in hydration

Morning routine:

  • Layer hyaluronic acid serum after cleansing, before vitamin C or niacinamide
  • Seal with a lightweight moisturizer and SPF

Evening routine:

  • Apply after cleansing, before actives like bakuchiol 
  • Seal with a richer moisturizer containing ceramides or squalane

Quick FAQs

Ceramides vs hyaluronic acid — do I need both?

They do different jobs: hyaluronic acid pulls in water for hydration, while ceramides help lock it in and support the barrier. Used together, they’re a strong skincare combination.

How to layer hyaluronic acid with other active skincare ingredients?

Hyaluronic acid pairs beautifully with vitamin C, niacinamide, bakuchiol, ceramides and squalane.

Can hyaluronic acid dry out my skin?

Only if applied to completely dry skin in a very dry environment. Always apply to damp skin and seal with a moisturizer.

What's the difference between high vs low molecular weight hyaluronic acid?

High molecular weight sits on the surface for immediate plumpness. Low molecular weight penetrates deeper for long-term hydration. Both together deliver comprehensive moisture.
