Hyaluronic acid has been growing in popularity for a while now, but what are its benefits? For example, many of us suffer from dry skin, especially during the cold winter months. Hyaluronic acid offers a possible solution.
Hyaluronic acid has built a reputation as a powerful hydrating ingredient. Emerging scientific evidence seems to confirm this. Science has long known that hyaluronic acid in the skin helps maintain a youthful appearance. However, it has only recently been discovered that its application can improve the appearance of the skin.
What is Hyaluronic Acid and its Benefits?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that we already have in our skin. It is essential for maintaining a youthful appearance of the skin. The molecule can hold over 1,000 times its weight in water. It is no wonder that hyaluronic acid has gained so much respect as an excellent way to improve hydration.
We know the term 'acid' can be off-putting. However, hyaluronic acid is a gentle acid, with a pH between 5.0 and 8.0, which complements the skin's natural pH, which normally ranges between 4.5 and 6.2.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid has been linked to many health and wellness benefits, including:
- Reduces the visibility of wrinkles
Recent studies have shown that those who regularly use hyaluronic acid have up to 40% fewer wrinkles.
- Maintains the firmness of the skin
Topical hyaluronic acid appears to improve skin firmness by 55%. When injected as a filler, hyaluronic acid can help skin maintain a firm, youthful appearance.
- Increases hydration
Hyaluronic acid has been shown to increase skin moisture by 96% over a minimum of two weeks.
