Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant, meaning it has the ability to hold water and rehydrate skin.
Helps with Anti-Aging
Aging skin results from decreased collagen production, sun damage, and slower cell turnover. Proven anti-aging ingredients include retinoids (most effective), vitamin C, peptides, and AHAs. Consistent SPF use prevents further damage.
Hydrating
Some ingredients help hydrate the skin by either drawing in moisture or preventing it from escaping. They're often used to keep skin feeling soft, smooth, and well-balanced.
Good for Scar Healing
Some ingredients are commonly used to support the skin's natural healing process and improve the appearance of scars over time. While results can vary, they may help with texture, discoloration, and overall skin recovery.
Explained
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid (HA) that is broken down into lower molecular weight fragments.
It's a humectant that pulls and holds water in the skin to help with hydration, plumpness, and reduce transepidermal water loss.
Because hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is smaller in size, it can slip past your outermost layer of skin more easily than full-sized HA.
- High molecular weight versions sit on top of skin and forms a breathable film that reduces transepidermal water loss.
- Low molecular weight versions can penetrate the upper epidermis to hydrate deeper levels.
Most formulations will combine all sizes to get the best of both worlds.
Typical usage levels range from 0.01-1%. Any percentage higher than 2% might become goopy and tacky.
