Very hydrating and anti-aging, hyaluronic acid has become an essential active ingredient in skin care. But how to choose it well?
Hyaluronic acid has recently been making a big splash in the skincare world, and for good reason. A true miracle product for beauty and youth of the skin, hyaluronic acid has become an essential active ingredient in the fight against skin aging. But what exactly is hyaluronic acid, and how does it work? Understanding these questions can help you choose the product that is best for your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our body and concentrated mainly in the dermis, which has the function of hydrating and maintaining the suppleness of the skin. He is able to retain up to 1000 times its weight in water! He helps maintain an optimal level of hydration in the dermis and fills the space between tissues to give a smooth and plump appearance to the skin. This is why it is considered “the cement of the skin”.
You will have understood, hyaluronic acid keeps water in the heart of the cells for continuous hydration, and re-densifies the internal structure of the skin, to give it volume and a plump appearance.
However, hyaluronic acid decreases with age which can lead to dry skin and wrinkles.
You should know that there are different hyaluronic acid molecules which are distinguished mainly by their molecular weight.
- Hyaluronic acid high molecular weight forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to protect it from dehydration, but does not act deeply. It is suitable for young skin.
- Hyaluronic acid de low molecular weight is small which allows it to penetrate the deep tissues of the skin and act in the dermis, for an anti-aging action. The molecule will fill with water and stimulate the activity of fibroblasts (support cells) for a smoothing and filling effect.
To deeply hydrate the skin and act on the signs of aging, we will always favor a low molecular weight, more qualitative hyaluronic acid.
