Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is found in our skin; it is a moisture-retaining factor, and there are not many better active ingredients when it comes to water retention. In fact, it is a sugar molecule, a glycosaminoglycan, which is a natural moisturizing element in our skin. What makes it a true superstar ingredient is its ability to hold up to a thousand times its own weight in moisture, which is essential for dehydrated, moisture-deficient mature skin, as well as for young skin!
If you are looking for just a little extra (or even additional) hydration, or if you have oily skin, you definitely can't go wrong with hyaluronic acid.
In the case of oily skin, often hyaluronic acid alone is sufficient, either instead of a moisturizer or just during the day, under sunscreen. It plumps, hydrates, and results in firmer skin.
Even better, it not only has moisturizing effects but also enhances the strength of the skin's protective barrier, and it can even fight free radicals, in addition to having anti-inflammatory properties.
Small and large molecular weight. Why is it important?
The molecular weight of hyaluronic acid is typically distinguished, as it consists of continuously repeating polymers. Therefore, if the molecular weight is medium, these units repeat less frequently. The smaller the molecular weight, the deeper it can be absorbed into the skin. For this reason, it is worth considering if you are about to purchase hyaluronic acid. The larger the molecular weight, the more likely it is to hydrate the surface, which is perfect for young or pubescent skin, as there is generally only a surface-level water deficiency present.
