The Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic acid is an extremely hydrophilic complex sugar, naturally present in the human body in the joints, muscles, eyes and especially in the skin. The quantity of this compound present in the dermis tends to decrease with age, leading to skin slackening and the appearance of wrinkles. When applied topically, hyaluronic acid provides numerous benefits to the skin.

Our Range of Hyaluronic Acid Products.

What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is an active ingredient that constitutes the body's extracellular matrix. Nearly 50% of its total quantity is located in the dermis, the deep layer of the skin. The other half is distributed in the eye and the synovial fluid of the joints. This biomolecule was discovered in 1934 in the vitreous humor of a bovine eye by Karl Meyer and John Palmerer. In the animal kingdom, hyaluronic acid is mainly concentrated in the crest of the cock and the cartilage of the ox's snout. 

The function of hyaluronic acid is to ensure the hydration of the skin. In the dermis, it contributes to the formation of its connective tissue and serves as a support for collagen and elastin fibers. It thus plays a fundamental role in the density and the tonicity of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid is now frequently used in aesthetic medicine in the form of injections. This active ingredient is also used in the composition of numerous cosmetic treatments which are also very effective and have the advantage of being less invasive than an injection.
