Combining them means working on two levels rather than one — an immediate smoothing effect, and water retention that holds for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSodium PCA, less well known and very useful.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is part of what is called the natural moisturising factor, a set of molecules the skin makes itself to hold water in the outer layer. Supplying it through a product amounts to completing an existing mechanism rather than adding a foreign one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Morning and evening after your toner, before your cream. A few drops are enough: pat rather than spread. Applied on skin that is still damp, it works markedly better — humectants need available water in order to capture it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs a course.\u003c\/strong\u003e On visibly dehydrated skin — dull complexion, fine lines that appeared all at once, tightness in the evening — it can be used on its own for one to two weeks, morning and evening, before going back to your usual routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does not do.\u003c\/strong\u003e A humectant supplies no lipids: on dry skin, which lacks fats and not only water, it goes before a cream, never instead of one.

Its molecule is larger than that of glycolic acid, so it penetrates more slowly — which reduces the risk of irritation at a comparable concentration. It also has a property the other AHAs lack: it is a humectant, holding water at the same time as it exfoliates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat a chemical exfoliation does.\u003c\/strong\u003e It loosens the bonds between dead surface cells, which then come away on their own.
