Ionized water is heavily marketed for skincare benefits. Here's what the science actually says about ionized water and whether it lives up to the hype.
Ionized water, also called alkaline water, has gained popularity as a skincare solution. Manufacturers claim it can improve hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote a youthful glow. But does the evidence support these claims?
What the Research Shows
While some studies suggest ionized water has antioxidant properties, most dermatologists agree that what matters most for skin health is consistent hydration, sun protection, and targeted treatments.
