Hyaluronic acid (also known as hyaluron) holds on to moisture in your skin, eyes, and joints keeping them soft and hydrated. It prevents skin tightness, boosts elasticity, and reduces scarring. Hyaluronic Acid helps with holding collagen and elastin fibers in the proper configuration, but as we age, hyaluronic acid found on the collagen and elastin fibers lessen in overall quantity which may contribute to fine lines and wrinkle formation.
You will find the most moisturising, skin protecting and anti-aging skincare products to contain Hyaluronic Acid as it is so effective in replenishing moisture in the skin. When we increase the hydration in the skin, this will slow down the wrinkle formation in the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is used to hold and maintain the elasticity in the skin.
Did you know that a wrinkle or fold in the skin is also called a rhytide, wrinkles are a sign of the ageing process. These lines can be accentuated from sleeping positions, loss of body mass, habitual facial expressions, ageing, sun damage, smoking, and poor hydration. As the skin loses its elasticity and fat contents, decreases collagen and elastin that causes the skin to be thinner and less smooth in appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid is also a post-biotic which is a naturally occurring ingredient caused by the breakdown of the skin's microbiome. It assists in rebuilding your own unique microbiome.
