Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that is naturally found in your skin as well as the connective tissue in your body. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the human body. It acts as a cushioning and lubrication agent for our joints, nerves, hair, skin, and eyes. Hyaluronic acid's main uses and benefits are keeping skin moist and lubricated. Hyaluronic acid can draw moisture from air and keep your skin moist, holding almost 1000 times its own weight in water. So, it is not only a moisturizer, it has the ability to hold extra moisture. Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Studies have proven that hyaluronic acid is amazingly good at bonding with water molecules, making it a key factor in retaining skin moisture. Lack of moisture is one of the main culprits of aging skin, which is why this ingredient—which attracts moisture to your skin—is a must-have when it comes to repairing your skin’s moisture barrier.
Retains moisture: Hyaluronic acid helps replenish and hold cell moisture, leading to hydrated, plump skin. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles: Since dehydrated skin is one of the main causes of wrinkles, hyaluronic acid replenishes lost moisture and helps reduce the appearance of any fine lines. Fast absorbing: Unlike some skincare products, hyaluronic acid quickly absorbs into the skin, meaning you lose less product. Non-irritating: For the most part, hyaluronic acid is non-irritating and safe for use with all skin types.
