HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) non-protein compound with distinct physico-chemical properties of repeating β-1,4-D-glucuronic acid and β-1,3-N-acetylglucosamine units. The evidence suggests that hyaluronic acid helps with soft tissue growth, prompts your body to make more collagen and elastin, keeps your skin moisturized, prevents tightness, boots elasticity, and reduces scarring. The key benefit of hyaluronic acid is hydration and that unbelievable ability to retain moisture. To understand how important moisture is for the skin, you have to first know that dehydrated skin - when the top layer of skin doesn't have enough water - appears dry, rough, and flaky. Hyaluronic acid is highly soluble in water, which means that it absorbs into your system rapidly
