@thebeautydoctrine: 💧 You put hyaluronic acid ON your skin. But what happens when you take it? Part 2 of supplements that may do more for your skin than another skincare product. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our skin and plays an important role in hydration and the extracellular matrix. We are very familiar with using it topically, but oral hyaluronic acid has also been studied for its effects on skin. And this is where it gets interesting. I’m taking Ritual HyaCera, which combines: 120 mg sodium hyaluronate
350 mg wheat oil extract The finished HyaCera formula was studied in a 12 week randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial involving 63 healthy adults ages 26 to 64. Researchers measured actual skin parameters including crow’s feet wrinkles, skin smoothness, hydration and elasticity. The HyaCera group showed significantly greater improvement in crow’s feet wrinkles and facial skin smoothness compared with placebo, with significant differences appearing by week 8 and continuing through week 12. But I never want to rely on one brand funded product study alone. A separate 2025 systematic review and meta analysis identified 7 randomized controlled trials of oral hyaluronic acid supplementation. The pooled analysis found statistically significant improvements in: 💧 Skin hydration
✨ Skin elasticity
〰️ Wrinkle depth The authors also found that results for firmness, wrinkle volume and transepidermal water loss were NOT statistically significant, and they specifically called for larger, more robust trials. That distinction matters. The evidence is promising. It is not permission to claim that swallowing hyaluronic acid magically replaces topical skincare, sunscreen, adequate protein, essential fats, sleep or everything else your skin needs. It does, however, challenge the idea that skincare only happens on the surface. Your skin is a living organ. Functional Beauty supports it from the outside AND the inside. Beauty is health. ✨ SCIENTIFIC REFERENCES: Grier Welch AM, Young Vance A, Sharafi M, et al.
