In any given bathroom cabinet, one can usually find an assortment of skincare steps promising benefits from A to Z—brightening, exfoliating, hydrating, wrinkle reducing—but the truth is, the most important skincare routine starts from the inside out. From what we eat to how much water we drink and how much sleep and exercise we get, our well-being shows in our skin. At Ritual, we pride ourselves on science-based supplements and efficacious ingredients, so when we thought about making a daily skin hydration supplement, we knew we had to make a game-changing one.*

Meet HyaCera™, a daily skin hydration supplement that puts the fiiiiiiine back into lines. A nested capsule made with two skin health supporting ingredients, Ceratiq® and Hyabest®. This once-daily capsule, vanilla-essenced, helps minimize wrinkles and hydrate skin from the inside out. Like all Ritual supplements, these ingredients are Made Traceable®, so you never have to worry about where our skin health supplement is coming from— although we can’t say the same about everything in the average routine.*

What Is HyaCera™?

If the name HyaCera™ isn’t ringing any bells, let us introduce you to our ingestible daily skin hydration supplement. The name (HyaCera™) comes from combining the names of the two individually clinically-studied ingredients, Hyabest® and Ceratiq®, which are two of the best clinically-studied ingredients shown to support moisturized skin after 90 days of daily use.* Here’s a quick rundown on each ingredient:

Ceratiq®: Making up the outer capsule of HyaCera™, Ceratiq® helps support the skin barrier function, promotes smooth skin, and supports full body hydration that goes beyond the face, and is made from a sustainably harvested plant oil extract.*

Hyabest®: The inner capsule of HyaCera™ is made from Hyabest®, a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid (a substance found in the body that supports skin hydration) to help support hydrated skin that glows.*

HyaCera™ Is Here to Enhance Our Skincare Routines*

In a world where a 7, 10, or 12 step skincare routine is commonplace, we’re here to support skin health support with a lot less work. If you’re feeling burnt out on an overcomplicated skincare routine, HyaCera™ could hardly make it any easier—you can take it morning or night, with or without food (might we suggest a bunch of grapes?), or even alongside your other daily supplements (like, for instance, Essential Multivitamin and Synbiotic+). You can also easily fold it into an existing skincare routine—we love to take the vanilla-essenced capsule in the evening with a cup of chamomile, a sheet mask, and some reality TV (or just while we wait for our moisturizer to sink in).*

We do recommend taking HyaCera™ daily, because like anything else in a skincare routine (or a fitness routine, or learning a new skill— you know we’re all about forming healthy habits), results take time and consistency. The key ingredients in our skin hydration supplement were shown to support hydrated skin after 90 days of daily use in clinical studies, so if you don’t see results immediately, keep at it! Implementing HyaCera™ into a daily Ritual (see what we did there?) can help simplify our skincare routine—while feeling good about what we’re putting into our body, too.*

Now that you know how our HyaCera™ works, you can get on your way to supporting moisturized, smooth, glowing skin from within. The science of skincare is so fascinating, and we at Ritual are committed to enhancing our skincare routine with science-based skincare ingredients that deliver on results. Now, go ahead and put the fiiiiiine back into lines!*
