Hyaluronic
Acid (HA) is the cushiony substance found throughout the body, which
keeps joints supple and skin plump-and yes, like everything else it
diminishes with age. Babies are born with a high level of HA, but with
age, most significantly after 40 it faded away. "It's like a sister to
collagen," Gross says, "But whereas you can stimulate collagen
production, you can't really stimulate hyaluronic acid production-you
can only replenish it." Derms love HA due to it's unsurpassed ability to
hydrate and add volume, it can hold up to 1000 times it's weight in
water. HA's only downside is it's large molecule size that hindered
absorption, but new formulas penetrate deeper and are ultra plumping.
Not the newest or most hip ingredient out there, HA is tried and truly
good for hydration and younger looking skin. Applied topically it not
only improves hydration and elasticity, but also free radical damage.
And an added bonus, HA is appropriate for all skin types.
