What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid, often abbreviated as HA, is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. It's a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture, making it a fantastic skincare ingredient. In its natural form, HA helps maintain skin hydration and lubrication while also promoting healthy collagen production.
However, as we age, our skin's natural HA production decreases, leading to dryness, fine lines, and a loss of skin elasticity. This is where skincare products with HA come to the rescue, helping to replenish and retain moisture in the skin.
The Hyaluronic Acid Duo and Trio
Low, Medium, and High Molecular Weight HA
Low Molecular Weight HA (LMW-HA): LMW-HA has smaller molecules, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin. It provides immediate hydration and helps plump the skin from within. LMW-HA can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production. It's an excellent choice for those with dry or dehydrated skin, as it offers intense hydration.
Medium Molecular Weight HA (MMW-HA): MMW-HA falls in between LMW-HA and HMW-HA in terms of molecular size. It provides both deep hydration and surface moisture retention. MMW-HA supports overall skin health and helps balance moisture levels.
High Molecular Weight HA (HMW-HA): HMW-HA has larger molecules that sit on the skin's surface, forming a protective barrier. It locks in moisture, preventing water loss and maintaining hydration levels. HMW-HA is suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive skin, as it provides a soothing and hydrating effect without clogging pores.
