Hyaluronic Acid
How does Hyaluronic Acid work?
Hyaluronic acid is an effective anti-aging skincare product that helps skin retain moisture and minimize the onset of wrinkles. The highest-quality skincare and makeup products contain hyaluronic acid. Here’s a closer look at the benefits of hyaluronic acid serum as a skincare enhancer:
Deep Penetration
Hyaluronic acid serum deeply penetrates the skin and provides effective and satisfying results that last longer than conventional products.
Skin Tone
Hyaluronic acid serum helps skin retain moisture and reduce inflammation. It also firms the skin, evens out skin tone and helps provide a youthful look.
Moisturizing
Since hyaluronic acid holds moisture well--holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water--it is a commonly used component in moisturizers. In these moisturizers, it functions not only to deliver water to the skin, but also to hold it there. As a large molecule, it doesn't permeate deep into the skin, but instead stays near the surface where it moisturizes the skin surface layers.
Wrinkles
The loss of natural hyaluronic acid is one of the causes of wrinkles, so the idea of putting HA back into the skin to repair wrinkles makes sense. Hyaluronic acid fillers are useful for reducing or removing wrinkles. By reducing wrinkles, hyaluronic acid fillers make the skin look younger and increase skin tone, making it look smooth and supple.
Reactive Nutrients
Hyaluronic acid is a reactive nutrient—it adjusts the amount of moisture it absorbs based on weather conditions. It responds differently based on humidity and temperature, thus useful year-round.
Helps with Sun Protection
The sun’s rays damage the skin, which is why it’s important to take proper precautions with sunscreen, sunglasses and hats when you’re out in the sun for extended hours. Hyaluronic acid helps protect the skin from these potentially dangerous rays.
A Collagen Producer
Collagen is the most abundant and one of the most important proteins found in the human body. Its role is to support skin elasticity and boost the amount of collagen in the body, which in turn keeps your skin looking younger. The more collagen your body produces, the less wrinkling and lines you’re likely to see on the skin.
