Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the human body, more particularly in the extracellular matrix of the dermis, the part of the skin located between the epidermis (surface of the skin) and the hypodermis (deep layer of the skin). It is also found in the connective, nervous and epithelial tissues of our body such as cartilage or synovial fluid. Acting like a sponge, it can contain up to 1000 times its weight in water to allow maximum hydration, which gives it viscoelastic properties. It is also frequently used in ophthalmic surgery and in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, but it is in the skin that a more important quantity resides. With time and the signs of age, the natural hyaluronic acid already present in our body oxidizes and diminishes.
Why choose natural and organic hyaluronic acid ?
The natural and biological hyaluronic acid does not contain any trace of animal origin. Of vegetable origin, it is conceived by bio-fermentation of wheat, also known as biotechnology. It is therefore consisting of fermentation of plants in a laboratory, without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Also, natural hyaluronic acid is suitable for vegans. Organic and natural hyaluronic acid is also environmentally friendly. Only natural hyaluronic acid is used in Methode Physiodermie skin care products.
The benefits of hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid, thanks to its moisturizing properties, is essential for maintaining the skin’s structure. It not only hydrates the skin, but also has a regulating effect on the healing process.
It also helps to fill the spaces between the cells by plumping them up to allow a good cohesion between the tissues, which is what gives the skin its firmness and tone.
Why use a hyaluronic acid serum ?
It has been shown that we produce less hyaluronic acid as we age; by the time we are fifty, we have half as much hyaluronic acid in our bodies as we did at twenty. The skin thus loses elasticity and firmness, and it is therefore there that wrinkles and fine lines appear and that the oval shape of the face sags.
This is why it is an essential molecule in your skincare ritual to fight against skin aging.
The use of cosmetic products enriched with hyaluronic acid provides the necessary substance to give back to the skin this smooth and fleshy appearance to remodel and lift the face.
How to understand the different levels of hyaluronic acid ?
There are several types of hyaluronic acid in cosmetology. The difference lies in the size of the molecules used to determine the field of action of the cosmetic product.
- High molecular weight
The molecules are large, they do not pass through the skin barrier and remain on the surface of the epidermis. They therefore have a film-forming effect to maintain optimal skin hydration.
- Low molecular weight
The molecules are small and easily penetrate the different skin layers. They help stimulate cellular activity to plump and firm the skin.
