Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid or sodium hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our own skin tissues.  It is a very powerful humectant, capable of holding up to 500 times its weight in water. It plumps and hydrates skin, decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

There are a variety of molecular weights of hyaluronic acid.  A super low molecular weight hyaluronic acid can penetrate into the deeper layers of skin, providing longer lasting hydration, whereas a high molecular weight works to hydrate the upper layers of the skin which offers that instant plumping effect.  We use a blend of molecular weights in our skin care for optimized benefit to the skin.
