Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a carbohydrate occurring naturally throughout the human body. It has a stiff viscous quality similar to jello. It can be used both inside and on the skin to produce remarkable results. Hyaluronic acid is capable of holding up to 1,000 times its own weight in water, which boosts moisture levels and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid has been shown to maintain hydration, improve elasticity and protect against free radical damage. In the skin, hyaluronic acid is responsible for capturing water, in turn maintaining the smoothness and plumpness of the skin. When hyaluronic acid is depleted, skin can become dehydrated and lose elasticity, which accentuates lines and furrows. Hyaluronic Acid can be found as an ingredient in many products, or on it's own as a concentrated 100% Hyaluronic Acid serum. Dermatologists also inject it into the skin for faster results.
