When people think about skin health, it’s often framed as a cosmetic issue — something to manage with creams, serums or aesthetic treatments. But this view overlooks an important biological fact.
Your skin is the largest organ in the human body.
It plays a vital role in protecting against environmental stressors, regulating hydration, supporting immune defence and maintaining tissue integrity. Changes in skin health are often linked to broader physiological changes that occur as we age.
Seen this way, skin health isn’t separate from overall health — it’s closely connected.
One of the most important functions of healthy skin is its ability to retain water. Well-hydrated skin is more resilient, elastic and effective as a barrier. As we age, however, the skin’s capacity to maintain hydration naturally declines.
This decline isn’t just cosmetic. Reduced hydration affects tissue structure, elasticity and repair — processes that are relevant to both appearance and function.
A key molecule involved in maintaining skin hydration is hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, joints and connective tissue. Its primary role is water retention — it can bind large amounts of water, helping tissues stay hydrated and flexible.
Over time, natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease. This has led researchers to explore whether oral hyaluronic acid supplementation can help support skin hydration and tissue health from the inside out.
While hyaluronic acid has long been used topically, interest in oral supplementation has grown in recent years.
A 2025 meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials found that oral hyaluronic acid supplementation was associated with improvements in skin hydration, elasticity and texture when taken consistently. These findings suggest that hyaluronic acid can support skin health systemically, not just at the surface.
Importantly, these benefits appear to develop gradually — reinforcing the idea that skin health is part of long-term tissue support rather than a quick cosmetic fix.
Skin is living tissue. It requires adequate hydration, structural support and nutrients to function normally. Supporting skin internally aligns with a broader approach to healthy ageing, where the goal is to maintain normal biological processes as the body changes over time.
This is the thinking behind Hyaluronic+ with low-dose microvitamin from MyVitality.
The formulation places hyaluronic acid at the centre, supported by carefully selected micronutrients that contribute to normal skin and connective tissue maintenance — without excessive dosing.

When hydration and tissue integrity improve internally, it often shows externally. Smoother texture, improved elasticity and a healthier appearance are common outcomes — and there’s nothing vain about appreciating that.
But the real value lies in understanding that supporting skin health is part of supporting overall health.
Hyaluronic+ is designed for people who want to take an evidence-informed, long-term approach to ageing — supporting skin, joints and connective tissue as part of overall wellbeing.
Because when you treat skin like the organ it is, the results tend to speak for themselves.
