HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID

Description

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a potent skincare ingredient derived from the natural hyaluronic acid molecule. Through a process of hydrolysis, the larger hyaluronic acid molecules are broken down into smaller, more easily absorbed fragments. This modification allows for enhanced penetration into the skin's deeper layers, making it more effective than traditional hyaluronic acid.

Known for its exceptional moisture-binding properties, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This characteristic makes it an excellent humectant, drawing and retaining moisture in the skin. The ingredient helps to plump and hydrate the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin texture and elasticity.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It's non-comedogenic and helps to maintain the skin's natural barrier function. Regular use can lead to improved skin hydration, enhanced firmness, and a more youthful appearance. Its ability to penetrate deeper into the skin makes it a valuable addition to anti-aging formulations and hydrating serums.
