Dry hands and wrinkles don't necessarily require creams! A must-know hyaluronic acid moisturizing and anti-aging guide for Hong Kong residents.

Dr. Eric Berg shared a super practical and scientific skincare secret: hyaluronic acid isn't just for external moisturizing; it can also be supplemented internally to improve dry, wrinkled, and aging skin . The following is a complete summary:

Why are commercially available moisturizers ineffective?

Most contain alcohol → which can actually make skin drier.
Applying repeatedly every day only provides temporary surface hydration .
After absorption, it enters the bloodstream and is ultimately metabolized by the liver, which may cause a burden.

What is hyaluronic acid? Why is it so important?

characteristic	illustrate
Naturally present in skin, joints, and eyes	Every cell produces
Each gram can absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water.	Super moisturizing power
Supports wound healing and sunburn repair	Sufficient Vitamin A is required.
The older you are , the lower the content.	Only 20% remaining at age 80

Example: A 45- year-old has approximately 14g of hyaluronic acid → an 80- year-old has only 3.6g left.

Hyaluronic acid supplementation methods

1. Oral supplements

Absorption rate of approximately 2.5% → sufficient to replenish lost nutrients.
Recommended dosage: 200 mg daily
Do not overdose (e.g., 3000–4000 mg ) → may cause edema or intestinal obstruction .

2. Topical serum (alcohol-free)

How to use:

Wet hands/face first
Apply 2-3 drops of hyaluronic acid serum
Apply evenly → 1–2 times daily

Recommended choices: alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and with simple ingredients.

Natural skincare pairing suggestions

Element	effect
Vitamin A	Helps generate hyaluronic acid → Improves dry eyes and dry skin
Vitamin E	Antioxidant and skin barrier repair
Coconut oil/beef tallow	Deeply moisturizes and has natural antibacterial properties.
Healthy Ketogenic Diet	Sugar reduction and anti-inflammation → Supporting the skin's intrinsic repair capabilities

In conclusion: Stop relying on moisturizers that "dry immediately after application"; understanding how to replenish hyaluronic acid is the key to true anti-aging.

Hong Kong people lead busy lives, constantly use air conditioning, and consume high-sugar diets. Dry skin isn't just an external problem; it reflects internal depletion . Starting today, a hyaluronic acid supplement, an alcohol-free serum, and a healthy diet will lay a solid foundation for your skin!

Don't be misled by the myth that "more application equals moisturizing." True health comes from knowing how to hydrate, reduce inflammation, and repair!
