Hyaluronic Acid - How does it work?

Hyaluronic Acid - How does it work?

January 04, 2023

Another popular skincare ingredient is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic Acid is a long chain of sugar molecules that can be found naturally in the body. It plays a crucial role in keeping tissues lubricated and moist. It also has potential ability to help heal wounds and burns.

 

But it’s also so much more than that.

 

What does hyaluronic acid do and how does it work?

Hyaluronic acid binds the water molecules and creates a gel-like substance that helps keep the skin hydrated. It is extremely effective in moisturizer because it can hold 1000 times its weight in water.

 

This ingredient also works by filling in the space between collagen and elastin fibers which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This plumps the skin and gives you a more youthful appearance.
