Hyaluronic acid has become an indispensable part of most people's skincare routines in recent years. It can be found in creams, serums, masks, body lotions, and countless other skincare products.
One gram of hyaluronic acid can store up to an incredible 10 liters of water and is therefore extremely moisturizing.
Hyaluronic acid has become indispensable in aesthetic medicine, and the miracle substance can even be injected under the skin as a "filler".
But what exactly is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar-like compound produced by the body.
It contributes to the frictionless mechanics and stability of joints, keeps the eyes moist, and ensures smooth and elastic skin.
However, the body's own production of hyaluronic acid begins to decline as early as age 20. By age 50, it is only half as high as during youth.
This results in the skin no longer appearing as plump and firm, wrinkles deepening, and the general aging process of the skin being accelerated.
This can be counteracted with the regular use of hyaluronic acid.
Does size really matter?
When it comes to hyaluronic acid, then yes!
There are three different types of hyaluronic acid. They all differ in size and effectiveness.
1. High molecular weight/long-chain hyaluronic acid
This is the hyaluronic acid with the largest molecules and therefore only penetrates to the top layer of skin. As a result, it does not produce long-lasting results.
2. Low molecular weight/short-chain hyaluronic acid
Due to its lower molecular weight, this hyaluronic acid is more effective and penetrates into the middle layers of the skin. Results last longer.
3. Oligo-hyaluronic acid/microchain hyaluronic acid
Oligo-hyaluronic acid consists of microscopic molecules that penetrate deep into the skin and are stored there. With regular use, it delivers long-lasting results and plumps the skin from within.
As you can see, the smaller the molecular structure, the more effective the hyaluronic acid.
Many brands advertise that they use hyaluronic acid in their products, but these are usually only the less effective, weak forms.
