Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is naturally produced by the body's cells. In skin care, hyaluronic acid is often used because of its outstanding moisturizing and moisture-retaining properties. For example, one gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water. It has a translucent, gel-like consistency and forms a moisturizing protective film on the skin that promotes elasticity and tone. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles appear visually plumped up, which is why hyaluron is also in demand in the anti-aging sector. In addition, the skin benefits from the anti-inflammatory as well as nourishing effects and feels noticeably smoother.
