Hyaluronic acid is a wildly popular skincare buzzword. That’s because this ingredient has a powerful ability: it’s able to hold 1000 times its weight in water, making it fantastic for hydration and suppleness. Dr. Vicki Belo explained it in her Facebook Live session with Grace Lee and Ryan Bang: “Oiliness is next to ugliness, right? But we want water. ‘Pag nakita niyo ‘yung mga bata, ang ganda ng skin nila. Hindi sila oily. Marami silang water sa mukha. So ‘yung hyaluronic acid, may mask na from Paris that soaks your face in hyaluronic acid. This then absorbs 1000 times its weight in water, so sobrang hydrated ‘yung face.”

Dr. Hayden Kho further explains it in layman’s terms: “Kaya ka nagkaka-glow is because pinupuno natin ng hyaluronic acid ‘yung skin. Now, if you shine light on a dark surface, ina-absorb ng dark ‘yung light. Pero ‘pag white, nire-reflect ‘yung light. The hyaluronic acid is a water molecule that acts like a mirror. So ‘pag pinuno mo ‘yung skin mo ng hyaluronic acid, ‘pag tumama ‘yung light, nagba-bounce ‘yung light, kaya nagkakaroon ng glow,” he explained in the Facebook Live session. Amazing, right?

Naturally, this means the ingredient is widely available in drugstore skincare products. But if you’re looking for a step up—that is, if you’re looking for a rich, luxurious hyaluronic acid infusion—then we just might have something for you.

The FillMed Hyaluronic Youth Mask is unlike your typical sheet mask. This soothing bio-cellulose mask is packed with three ingredients, and we’ll break them down for you: hyaluronic acid (obvs), collagen, and aloe vera. When put all together, these ingredients nourish, soothe, and restore dry, irritated skin. Just pick a weekend night to wind down and try the mask, and after 25-30 minutes, remove the mask and notice visibly plumped skin! 

Over time, and as you use the mask more often, you’ll notice even more dramatic changes. A clinical study found that after 15 minutes of us, subjects enjoyed +27% hydration. And after eight applications, subjects were found to have had 19% less wrinkle volume, and a 16% decrease in wrinkle depth! We told you this wasn’t an ordinary sheet mask!

How often should you use the mask? Well, they aren’t meant for everyday use. In an interview with The Philippine Tatler, Dr. Belo mentioned that she uses this mask two times a week. She mentions that twice a week is enough, as over-hydrating can cause you to break out.
