Is hyaluronic acid good for our skin?

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate, is a gooey, slippery substance that your body produces naturally. Scientists have found hyaluronic acid throughout the body, especially in eyes, joints and skin.

Hyaluronic acid can help hydrate and plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid is becoming an incredibly popular ingredient in serums and moisturizers due to its amazing hydrating and anti-aging properties. You may be concerned about the word "acid," but there is nothing to worry about because this acid does not burn or harm your skin at all. Did you know that Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule that already naturally occurs in our bodies? That's right; it's already in your body.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is present in many areas of your body including your eyes, internal fluids, and connective tissue, but much of it is in your skin. It is actually an important part of our skin health because it provides necessary lubrication to the connective tissues of our joints and skin. There's about 50% of HA content in our bodies. Although HA is one of the most popular skin care product ingredients, don't ever worry thinking that the type of HA in skin care products is taken from people, LOL! It is replicated by health experts in a lab.

The function of hyaluronic acid is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist.

Moisturization:

HA is amazing for every skin type, there are no exceptions.
It provides with lasting moisturization results to the skin.
HA works as a humectant.
HA is too large to penetrate the skin, it lodges in the surface of the skin and works so that the skin can absorb the hydration for complete.

Anti-Aging

HA diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.
By having your skin well hydrated, it helps to firm the skin surface and to improve the skin tone.
It rejuvenates the skin by providing a youthful look.

Protection

It keeps the skin protective barrier strong in order to avoid damages or infections to go through.
It has anti-inflammatory properties that help to heal scars, burns and other conditions faster.
It is an antioxidant that helps to fight against UV damages.

Molecular weight and functionality of hyaluronic acid

The functionality of hyaluronic acid depends on its molecular weight.

An extremely low molecular weight (20-100 kDa) is able to penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis, allowing it to perform a restorative, regenerating and anti-aging activity, increasing the elasticity of the skin and reducing the depth of wrinkles.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid (1800-3000 kDa), on the other hand, has a filming and moisturizing action thanks to its high capacity to retain water. Creates a protective film on the stratum corneum which allows a decrease in TEWL (Trans Epidermidal Water Loss) of the skin.

We also recommend using HA after a session of chemical peeling or laser skin tightening because it helps to recover better and reach the desired results faster. It is a skin care product ingredient that provides multiple benefits to the skin. Babies are born with lots of HA that is why their skin is so soft! You should definitely incorporate products that contain this ingredient to your skincare routine.
