Hyaluronic Acid: Miracle molecule from Mother Nature
To understand why hyaluronic acid (also called hyaluronate) is truly a skincare wonder, you need to understand what it is, where it comes from, and how it works.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, which is a polysaccharide. It is a molecule with a gel consistency that exists to hold water.
It exists naturally in our bodies, is found in our joints (to keep them mobile), our eyes (to keep them moist) and up to 50% is in our skin, keeping our skin hydrated and supple.
Hyaluronic acid gained its reputation as an anti-aging wonder when a journalist visited the Japanese village of Yuzuri Hari, intent on discovering why its inhabitants continued to have youthful faces, as well as being active and mobile, even at the age of 80 and 90.
It turned out that their soy- and tofu-rich diets encouraged their cells to make more hyaluronic acid, keeping them young and fit for longer.
How does it work?
It is estimated that each of us naturally carries between 15 - 17 g of hyaluronic acid, with up to 30% being renewed daily. It offers slightly different benefits depending on where it occurs in our bodies.
The proven benefits at a glance:
- Stimulating collagen production
- Protecting joints and nerves
- Antibacterial
- Anti-inflammatory
- Heals wounds
- Sun damage recovery
- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines through hydration
- Prevents dehydration
- Stimulates an even complexion
- Stimulates the drainage and renewal of damaged skin cells
- Provides immediately visible results
- Suitable for all skin types
- Prevents scars
- Completely safe
- Can prevent skin damage caused by free radicals
Unfortunately, as we age, the quality and quantity of hyaluronic acid decreases. By the time you're in your mid-40s, you'll have less than 40% of the amount you had in your teens.
Why choose hyaluronic acid in skin care
As anyone who drinks too much alcohol can testify, dehydrated skin is dull, tired, sallow and often shows fine lines very quickly.
Conversely, well-hydrated skin looks more even, firmer, fine lines are filled and the complexion is even.
Hyaluronic Acid's superpower is its spongy ability to hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water - so if your skin has more Hyaluronic Acid, it can be up to 1000 times more hydrated.
Source of eternal youth
Hyaluronic acid is one of the best ingredients in anti-wrinkle creams. Why? Simply because hyaluronic acid combines two important qualities: it hydrates and fills wrinkles.
In addition, hyaluronic acid also stimulates the drainage and renewal of damaged skin cells.
An important advantage of hyaluronic acid over other ingredients is that it produces visible results almost immediately.
It gives the face a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
This hydration takes place from within.
The result? A rapid, significant improvement in your skin. You will soon see that fine lines and wrinkles diminish.
It doesn't matter whether you have acne-prone oily skin, normal or dry skin. An anti-wrinkle cream with hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types.
