Action
Hyaluronic Acid is the best known glycosaminoglycan and the most hygroscopic molecule in the body. It is a constituent of the fundamental amorphous substance of the dermis and is part of the glycosamino-glycans (GAG) that are strongly polymerized macromolecular complexes. The molecular weight used is medium and its most remarkable properties are:
Important water retention capacity, keeping the skin smooth.
Restructuring effect of biological matrices.
Formation of an elastic layer that keeps the skin hydrated.
Natural Hydration Factor: It is composed of substances with great capacity to retain water from the corneal layer and capture environmental water. It is found naturally in the skin and is composed of very moisturizing substances:
- Free amino acids and Pyrrolidoncarboxylic acid (PCA).
- Urea, Lactates and Mineral salts. Mineral salts and sugars (fructose, glucose, mannose, galactose) associated with proteins.
Proteoglycans: They are present in the dermis and formed by a carrier protein associated with glycosaminoglycans (including Hyaluronic acid) but also sulfated molecules such as Chondroitin Sulfate and Dermatán Sulfate. Its main feature is the great ability to capture and retain water molecules.
Sorbitol: Like glycerin, it is one of the best moisturizers that exists. It is incorporated in moisturizing preparations for its hygroscopic properties. Like Glycerin, it modifies the structure of intercorneocitary lipids to favor water fixation. Unlike Glycerin, it evaporates more slowly and maintains a longer moisturizing effect.
Urea: It is a very moisturizing substance due to its water retention capacity.
How to use
With perfectly clean and dry skin, it is recommended to apply the product on the face, neck and neckline. To obtain optimal results it is advisable to use the product morning and night.
