HYALURONIC ACID: THE BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

It is one of the most addressed topics in the cosmetic field, but few people know what Hyaluronic Acid is and what it is really used for. Hyaluronic Acid is a molecule naturally produced by our body and synthesized by fibroblasts. Present in high concentration in the skin layer, this polymer is responsible for the firmness and volume of the skin, with multiple properties.
It has the ability to absorb water in quantities up to 1000 times its own weight, acting as a cushion capable of binding a large number of water molecules, allowing the skin to be more hydrated, elastic and toned.

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID USED FOR?

By nature, our skin contains Hyaluronic Acid: the younger the skin, the higher the amount of Hyaluronic Acid within it, which keeps it hydrated. Over time, its levels decrease, thus decreasing the skin's ability to remain hydrated and firm. This leads to the formation of wrinkles, making it important to integrate Hyaluronic Acid into skincare products.
Hyaluronic acid is known for its moisturizing properties and its ability to intervene on skin aging. It is mainly used in products for the face, body and food supplements, particularly for mature and dehydrated skin. Due to its safety, it can also be used by those who suffer from sensitive skin. From the age of 25, the use of creams or serums with Hyaluronic Acid is recommended to prevent skin aging and maintain healthy and radiant skin.

HOW MANY TYPES OF HYALURONIC ACID ARE THERE?

In cosmetic products, there are often different terms relating to the molecular weight of Hyaluronic Acid which can generate confusion. Molecular weight indicates the size of the molecule: the larger the molecule, the greater its molecular weight, and vice versa.

Why do we care about molecular weight?

Molecular weight determines the ability of Hyaluronic Acid to penetrate the skin:

• High molecular weight hyaluronic acid: forms an invisible film on the skin surface, blocking water evaporation and counteracting dehydration.
• Medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid: penetrates through the skin, providing the water necessary to preserve turgor and firmness.
• Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid: reaches the subcutaneous layers, stimulating the production of collagen and plumping the skin.

WHICH HYALURONIC ACID TO CHOOSE?

For mature skin, it is preferable to use products with low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid for deep hydration. For young skin, a high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid is sufficient to prevent surface water loss. Products that combine different molecular weights are particularly effective.
