Want to improve the look and quality of your skin? If you don’t already use products containing hyaluronic acid, you will after reading this article. Discover the 5 things that this revolutionary cosmetic ingredient can do for your skin!

As we’ve already mentioned in other articles, hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in parts of the human body, especially in the skin. This substance mainly acts to maintain the skin’s elasticity and regulate its hydration. That’s why this active ingredient is so prevalent in the cosmetic and cosmetic surgery industries for treating dehydration and skin ageing.

The benefits of hyaluronic acid

Want to know the 5 things that hyaluronic acid can do for your skin? Here’s the lowdown:

1. It hydrates the skin: hyaluronic acid ensures that the skin stays hydrated because its hydrating properties help attract and retain water in both skin layers: the epidermis and the dermis
   2. It firms the skin: hyaluronic acid helps to repair skin and maintain the firmness lost over time by stimulating the production of collagen, a protein containing the necessary properties for tissue regeneration.
2. It fills out wrinkles: this active ingredient reduces wrinkles and expression lines by forming a subcutaneous mesh that has a tensing effect on the deeper layers of the skin, acting as a filler.
3. It makes the skin softer: due to its hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid leaves the skin moisturised and firm, so it looks and feels softer. 
4. It complements cosmetic treatments: in the event of undergoing cosmetic facial treatments, topical hyaluronic acid (in serum or in a cream) is ideal for keeping the skin firm, plump, soft and hydrated. 

Hyaluronic acid is without a doubt the most complete substance to be found on a cosmetic level, and is well assimilated due to the fact that our own bodies create it.
