Facial Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most successful ingredients in cosmetics and aesthetic medicine. And although some products sometimes become very popular and then decline or fade into the background, research has shown in recent years that the benefits of hyaluronic acid are not passing or the result of a fad, but are here to stay. The reason: it is one of the best ingredients for skin care and rejuvenation.
And everyone knows something about it, but do we really know what it is and what are its main benefits?
What is hyaluronic acid?
By way of definition, hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide of the glycosaminoglycan type. In other words: it is a type of sugar.
And the first thing to know is that it is found naturally in our body, especially in the skin. And that it acts to ensure its stability and keep it constantly protected and renewed.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our body, especially in the skin.
It is also present in other organisms or tissues of our body, such as, for example, heart valves, lung, aorta, skeletal tissue, prostate, umbilical cord, synovial fluid or vitreous humor.
In cells, hyaluronic acid is produced through the action of enzymes called hyaluronic acid synthetases, which are found in the inner part of the cell membrane.
Its properties are spectacular, as it has an impressive capacity to retain moisture: a single molecule can contain up to 1,000 times its own weight in water! Another interesting fact to prove its spectacular power: one gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six liters of water.
What are the benefits of facial hyaluronic acid for skin care?
Well-hydrated skin is firmer and has a more luminous glow. In contrast, dehydrated skin appears duller, lacks luster and appears looser. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge, capable of retaining large amounts of water in the skin, thus adding volume, reducing wrinkles and concealing expression lines and revitalizing the outer surface layers of the skin.
