Far from a newcomer in cosmetics and medicine, hyaluronic acid has been a flagship active ingredient for years. Discover the reasons behind the enduring success of this naturally occurring molecule in the body.
Did you know? The key molecule for combating wrinkles, hyaluronic acid, was discovered in 1934 in the vitreous humor of the bull's eye.
Hyaluronic acid is found in many body fluids and tissues: around joints, in muscles, the eyeball, and especially in the dermis and epidermis of the skin.
This combination of a uronic acid and an amino glycan is naturally produced by the body, but production declines by 6% every ten years. Over time, the body loses its ability to maintain hyaluronic acid levels, reducing its water-retention capacity.
Initially sourced from animals, hyaluronic acid is now synthesized in labs through bacterial fermentation.
Often compared to a sponge, hyaluronic acid retains water in tissues—up to 1,000 times its weight! It binds with water to fill intercellular spaces, naturally plumping the dermis.
As a potent humectant, it boosts skin tone, supports natural regeneration, aids healing, and offers antioxidant protection against UV rays.
Commonly found in creams and serums, hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin's surface easily, replenishing natural levels.
Cosmetics with hyaluronic acid microspheres ensure deep penetration. Always check molecule size before adding to your routine.
Food supplements provide it in capsules, or get it from everyday foods like:
Some opt for facial injections for targeted wrinkle treatment.
Featured in anti-aging products, it's renowned for mature skin, penetrating layers to improve tone and fill wrinkles.
Yet, it's ideal for all skin types—especially dehydrated skin seeking softness and glow. For oily skin, it regulates sebum; choose lightweight creams or gels.
