Hyaluronic Acid, for skin overview

Hyaluronic Acid, also known as Hyaluron or Hyaluronan, helps skin retain moisture and is an anti-ageing agent ingredient in care products. It comes in either a long-chain or short-chain form, which has different effects. Building a face care routine using products with Hyaluronic Acid has been proven to effectively smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

 

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

Looking for longer lasting moisture? Then Hyaluronic Acid should be your go-to! It’s a gel-like substance that is naturally present in the human body, namely in the skin, joints, eyes and connective tissue. Capable of holding over 1,000 times its weight in water, it plays an important role in retaining moisture. Due to these properties, it works wonderfully as an anti-ageing component in face creams and serums to keep skin soft and supple. It can also be found under the names Hyaluron or Hyaluronan.

 

Hyaluronic Acid is an important part of the skin and the synovial fluid – a main component of the joint fluid. If there are problems with the joints in old age, it might be worth speaking to your doctor to see if this would help.

Hyaluronic Acid benefits


Moisturises the skin

When applied on the skin, all of its layers absorb incredible hydration from Hyaluronic Acid, which penetrates the skin and connects water to skin cells. This results in a more nourished and hydrated skin barrier.

Plumper, more defined skin

It is quite normal for facial contours to soften as we get older. The main cause of this is the skin losing Collagen and Elastin, the main components of the face’s skin structure. The use of products containing Hyaluronic Acid help you maintain firmness, allowing skin to appear plumper.

A boost in glow

With Hyaluronic Acid giving skin an increase in hydration and a stronger skin barrier, skin enjoys improved cell health, which contributes to a more youthful complexion and a boost in natural radiance. So if it’s a glow you’re after, you should add Hyaluronic Acid to your routine.

The smooth skin secret

Preventing wrinkles entirely as we age is impossible, but you can change how pronounced they become. Hyaluronic Acid helps skin stay moisturised, 'filling in' existing wrinkles to reduce their appearance. It’s what makes the use of creams and serums containing Hyaluronic Acid so important. By providing your skin with optimal moisture, you can indeed reduce existing wrinkles and help delay the formation of new ones.

Firmer skin awaits

Over time, our skin loses more and more of its elasticity. This makes care products containing Hyaluronic Acid a must to help slow down this process and create firmer, plumper and more youthful looking skin.

The wonder healer

Applying Hyaluronic Acid to wounds may help to reduce their size on the surface of the skin, and aid with pain relief in these areas. Hyaluronic Acid is naturally present in the skin, and its production increases in case of open wounds, which may help speed up the healing process. It also helps to lessen inflammation and assist the body to build more blood vessels in the injury location. Whilst NIVEA products are not formulated for this purpose, isn’t it fascinating to know what Hyaluronic Acid can do?

Bursting with antioxidants

Whilst Hyaluronic Acid is most celebrated for its ability to hold water to cells, that helps to keep skin looking healthy, it’s also a potent antioxidant that fights the free radicals in the body!
