Hyaluronic acid: an essential active ingredient

Hyaluronic acid this, hyaluronic acid that—we hear and see it everywhere, but what exactly is it? Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, mature skin, etc., it's important to hydrate it, and hyaluronic acid plays a major role in this. Let us explain!

What is hyaluronic acid?

Despite its somewhat barbaric name, it is a molecule naturally present in our bodies. It is found in many skin tissues, particularly in the dermis and in smaller quantities in the epidermis.

Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate and nourish collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin's elasticity and firmness. If you'd like to learn more, we invite you to read our article: “Why is my skin becoming less firm and plump?”

As we age, its production decreases, and the skin loses firmness and elasticity, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. To give you an idea, its quantity is halved around the age of 50!

Hyaluronic acid: an (ultra) hydrating active ingredient

Like a sponge, hyaluronic acid can retain up to 1000 times its weight in water! Therefore, providing hyaluronic acid will boost and stimulate natural synthesis. It is found in many cosmetics in various forms (natural, animal-derived, synthetic). With our Plumping Gel Serum , we have chosen to incorporate 100% natural hyaluronic acid.

By hydrating the skin both on the surface and deep down, this active ingredient will plump and moisturize. As a result, the skin is smoother and more even-toned.

It also has the benefit of strengthening the skin barrier and protecting the skin against external aggressions, which are responsible for premature cell aging or a loss of radiance.
