What is hyaluronic acid ?

Its properties

The term “Hyaluronic acid” comes from the Greek “hualos”, meaning “glass” “transparent”.

Hyaluronic acid has a particularity: it is already a natural molecule present in everybody’s anatomy, especially in the skin but also in the muscles and bone structure. Therefore, it is already an essential element for skin protection and care.

Hyaluronic acid has many properties. It acts as a molecular sponge, capable of absorbing up to 1,000 times its weight in water enabling the skin to stay dense, elastic and plump. Being a real anti-oxydant, it has a protective action for the skin against sun radiations, enabling the cell communication of the epidermis. Its healing action also allows natural collagen production stimulation as collagen helps to fight the signs of aging skin.

Its benefits

Hyaluronic acid piles up many benefits for the skin combining a triple action. Its etymology speaks for itself, it acts as a real protective screen for the skin against micro-traumas such as light scars. It also has a moisturizer action as it traps the water molecules, thus keeping the skin hydrated enough and eliminating the excess water which can cause skin swelling.

Finally, it has a reconstructive action as it participates in skin regeneration.

What does this triple action show directly on the skin? Well, to keep it short, the benefits of hyaluronic acid are precious for youth preservation of the skin as well as for its brightness and epiderm’s beauty. This essential ingredient ensures the skin to appear young, moisturized and protected from any external trauma.

The necessity to apply hyaluronic acid for an aging skin

Unfortunately, hyaluronic acid diminishes in quantity and efficiency with age. An aging skin produces less natural hyaluronic acid enabling the signs of age to appear more obviously, especially around the eyes, taking the shape of wrinkles or crow’s feet. It is thus important to compensate this lack of natural moisturizer with an external product holding hyaluronic acid properties.

Hyaluronic acid, when its natural production is not enough anymore, is produced by bio-fermentation in laboratories. Lactic bacterias come together. Then they are purified and dehydrated to become powder. Finally, the powder is combined with water to form a textured gel.

This alternative hyaluronic acid is very popular in the cosmetic field and enables women, young or not, to prevent the signs of an aging skin and keep a smooth and plump skin.

To sum up, hyaluronic acid is an essential ingredient for cosmetic products aiming to keep a young and smooth skin. In this way, our Revitalizing Eye Cream will bring you the best benefits for your skincare routine.
