Far from being a newcomer to the world of cosmetics and medicine, hyaluronic acid has been a flagship active ingredient for many years. Back to all the reasons that explain the success of this molecule naturally present in the body!
Did you know ? The essential molecule for fighting wrinkles, hyaluronic acid, has been known since 1934. It was discovered in the vitreous humor of the bull's eye.
Hyaluronic acid is present in many body fluids and tissues:around the joints, in the muscles, in the eyeball and above all, in the dermis and epidermis of the skin.
This combination of a uronic acid and an amino glycan is naturally produced by the body, but its production drops by 6% every ten years. Over time, the body loses its ability to maintain its concentration of hyaluronic acid. Its ability to retain water therefore also decreases.
Initially extracted from animal sources, hyaluronic acid can now be synthesized in the laboratory via a bacterial fermentation process.
Sometimes likened to a sponge, hyaluronic acid is able to retain water in the tissues. This molecule can fix up to 1000 times its weight in water! It combines with water and thus fills the intercellular spaces, naturally smoothing the dermis.
As a powerful moisturizing agent, hyaluronic acid also improves skin tone and promotes its natural regeneration.
It can also help with healing of the skin and even plays a role in protecting against UV rays thanks to its antioxidant action.
Hyaluronic acid is very often used in the form of care, such as creams or serums. Applied to the face, it can easily penetrate the surface of the skin and replenish the levels naturally present in the body.
Cosmetics formulated with hyaluronic acid microspheres notably ensure optimal penetration into the skin. Do not hesitate to check the size of the molecules contained in a treatment before integrating it into your skincare routine!
There are also food supplements rich in hyaluronic acid, which can be ingested in the form of capsules. However, you can find this healthy molecule in quite classic foods:
● Low-fat meats
● Poultry broth
● Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C
● red fruits
● Aromatic herbs
● etc.
Some people resort to facial injections for the one-time treatment of wrinkles.
Often present in anti-aging skincare, hyaluronic acid is mainly known for its miracle effects on mature skin. By easily penetrating the different layers of the skin, it improves its tone and fills in wrinkles.
But did you know that hyaluronic acid is beneficial for all skin types? It is, for example, a particularly effective active ingredient on dehydrated skin that wishes to regain softness and luminosity.
It can also be applied to oily skin, since it improves the texture of the skin by regulating the natural production of sebum. It is better to simply opt for a cream with a light texture or for a gel.
Each skincare routine has its face serum... And when it comes to HA, it's the Hyaluronic Acid Serum from the V10 Plus brand that sets the standard! This Japanese anti-aging treatment brings hydration and elasticity to the skin after just a few days of use.
The V10 Plus Face Gel named Deep Moist contains no less than four hyaluronic acids! Its light texture which penetrates quickly and which soothes is ideal for sensitive skin.
There are also masks formulated with hyaluronic acid. The Okinawa Water Mask V10 Plus is one of them. Apply it evenly on the face before bedtime and rinse your skin when you wake up to observe all its benefits. A night cream or gel can be applied before the mask.
Opt, for example, for the V10 Plus Night Gel, which also contains hyaluronic acid. V10 Plus also offers an all-in-one face gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and collagen!
Finally, LX Advanced Firming Cream also has hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid among its ingredients. It acts directly on the production of elastin in the skin. Apply it morning and evening after cleansing your face to regain soft skin and a radiant complexion.
