Product Details

By its nature, hyaluronic acid retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1,000 times its weight. This helps to attract and maintain water within the extracellular space, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density. Hyaluronic acid is also involved with the transport of essential nutrients to the skin's viable cells. Hyaluronic acid provides volume, helping to contribute to the skin's overall appearance.
As you age, your skin tissue becomes dehydrated and the collagen is broken down as you age. Skin is exposed to environmental pollutants and the sun's ultraviolet rays so cells gradually lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid. Studies have shown that older skin typically has lower levels of hyaluronic acid than younger skin. Elastin fibres lose their elastic structure, resulting in a loss of skin volume and the formation of the facial wrinkles that are common characteristics of aged skin.
