In the relentless quest for perfect skin, two ingredients stand out for their exceptional properties: hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. These active ingredients, at the heart of skincare rituals, offer unique and complementary benefits to reveal skin's radiance and improve its texture. But how do you choose between these two star ingredients?

This article guides you through the essential differences and the perfect harmony they can create together, particularly through the Source and My Payot ranges from PAYOT, for a hydrating and energizing ritual.

What is the difference between vitamin C and hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid, A natural moisturizer, it is known for its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Naturally present in the skin, it plays a crucial role in skin hydration and elasticity. As we age, its concentration decreases, hence the importance of supplementing it with targeted skincare. Hyaluronic acid penetrates deep into the skin's layers, providing intense hydration and reducing the appearance of fine lines for visibly improved skin texture.

Vitamin C, Vitamin C, for its part, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against free radical damage, the main culprits of skin aging. As an anti-aging treatment, it also contributes to the production of collagen, vital for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Its most remarkable property remains its brightening effect: vitamin C evens out the complexion and revives the skin's radiance, making it an essential ingredient for combating dullness and pigment spots.

The Source & My Payot ritual: the energizing hydrating combo

To reveal your skin's natural beauty and meet its specific needs, PAYOT has designed two exceptional skincare lines: Source and My Payot. These ranges offer skincare rituals designed to deeply hydrate the skin while boosting its radiance.

PAYOT's Source range is enriched with hyaluronic acid, offering highly hydrating products that immerse the skin in a bath of hydration for an immediate plumping effect.

The Adaptogenic Moisturizing Cream from the Source range is the ideal treatment for normal to dry skin, providing deep hydration adapted to the challenges of each day. Composed of 95% natural ingredients, this cream is packed with the benefits of a duo of adaptogenic plants: Breton Seaweed and Reishi Mushroom. These components, combined with hyaluronic acid, give the cream exceptional moisturizing properties, capable of adapting to climatic variations and pollution. The skin thus benefits from 48 hours of hydration, adjusted according to the environment and the season.

The My Payot range enriched with vitamin C gives the skin a real boost, leaving the complexion fresh and luminous.

My Payot Stick Cream not only simplifies your daily skincare routine thanks to its ultra-convenient format, but also provides long-lasting hydration. Enriched with vitamin C and featuring a pearly orange finish, it illuminates the skin and gives a healthy glow, while providing a natural glow thanks to its pearlescent particles.


In addition, My Payot Vitamin C Serum is a treatment highly concentrated in vitamin C, it effectively fights signs of fatigue, brightens the complexion, and plumps the skin for a fresh and rested appearance.

By incorporating Source Adaptogenic Moisturizing Cream and products from the My Payot range into your routine, you'll give your skin the perfect combination of tailored hydration and radiance.

Their complementarity will boost the effects of the treatments on your skin
Combining hyaluronic acid and vitamin C in your PAYOT skincare routine can transform the appearance of your skin. The deep hydration provided by hyaluronic acid prepares the skin to receive the brightening and antioxidant benefits of vitamin C. Together, they work synergistically to:

Maximize hydration: Hyaluronic acid improves the skin's ability to retain water, which increases the effectiveness of the antioxidants contained in vitamin C, allowing optimal protection against external aggressions.

Improve skin texture: Intense hydration reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines, while vitamin C stimulates collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.

Brighten skin: These two ingredients fight dullness and pigment spots, for luminous, even-toned skin.

Incorporating products from the Source and My Payot ranges into your daily beauty routine guarantees healthy, glowing skin. Hyaluronic acid and vitamin C complement each other for plump, radiant skin.

The combination of these two miracle ingredients in PAYOT rituals promises you younger-looking, hydrated and radiantly beautiful skin.
