There are two words that the beauty industry has been completely inundated with these past few years; “Hyaluronic Acid”. We’ve seen hyaluronic acid mentioned as an ingredient in almost all anti-aging ranges, but why? The short answer is it hydrates. Here’s the long answer; Hyaluronic Acid can retain over 1,000 times its weight in water within the cells of skin, making it not only an excellent moisturizer, but a firming, plumping, wrinkle erasing agent.  In fact, no other biological substance can retain as much water as hyaluronic acid, and this effectively keeps your skin feeling soft, smooth and firm. Bad news is as we age, our level of hyaluronic acid, just like other manufacturers of protective agent within our body, also declines and it is estimated that by the time we reach our mid-40’s, the synthesis of hyaluronic acid is roughly half of the amount required by the body.

Enters the product I’ve been testing out; Fountain The Hyaluronic Molecule aka the Fountain of Youth. I’ve been using a lot of products containing Hyaluronic Acid but all of them are topical products (i.e they are applied to the skin), so the concept of Fountain Hyaluronic Molecule as a beauty supplement that you take orally everyday is very intriqueing. We all know that looking after ourselves on the inside can reflect how we look on the outside, so the concept of a liquid Hyaluronic Molecule supplement seems to make 100% perfect sense.

Fountain Hyaluronic Molecule is a concentrated beauty supplement that claims to keep your skin looking plump, glowing and happy from within. It contains 130mg of hyaluronic molecules per two teaspoon serving (which is the prescribed daily intake), allowing the ingredient to be absorbed more easily and able to work from the inside out. Not only does hyaluronic acid benefit your skin, it also helps keep your joints supple and lubricate the eyes to give them a brighter, youthful appearance.

In terms of how it tastes, Fountain Hyaluronic Molecule is flavoured with ginger (an absorbing aid) and has a jelly-like texture, both of which I don’t find unpleasant to stomach. Unlike any other liquid supplements or medicines, this is much easier to take than I expected and I’ve been taking it every single day without fail for almost a month now (and I’m just about to finish the bottle).

In terms of effectiveness I have to say it’s not one of those products where you see results overnight or within a couple of weeks. I do notice that my skin is definitely less dry and my makeup has been applying really well, whereas at this time of year my skin would normally be freaking out and dried up by now and this hasn’t happened. I have another full bottle ready so I will go through another one and see if I can notice any dramatic changes after 2 months. I will probably post an update on twitter or facebook or instagram so keep your eyes peeled for that (if you haven’t subscribed to my social medias you really should :)

Let me know if you think this is an interesting concept and whether you would give it a try?
