It is a polymer composed of dimers of glucuronic acid and N-Acetylglucosamine that is repeated to create long chains, in order to maintain the water content.
In the skin, intrinsic (chronological) and extrinsic aging (environmental factors, bad habits, diet) reduce endogenous synthesis and accelerate the degradation of existing molecules. Therefore, the decrease in hyaluronic acid leads to the appearance of wrinkles, the loss of firmness and the lack of luminosity.
Thanks to its ability to retain thousands of times its weight in water, hyaluronic acid promotes the exchange of nutrients and keeps tissues hydrated to preserve the cohesion and structure of the skin.
These functions are responsible for numerous benefits at the skin level such as the recovery of volume in the skin, the filling of wrinkles, the restoration of firmness and the inhibition of the formation of spots, achieving a remarkable improvement and rejuvenation of the skin.
