Hyaluronic Acid: The Hydration Hero in Every Skincare
🔍 What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the skin, joints, and connective tissues. It acts as a powerful humectant, attracting and retaining moisture up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
In skincare, HA is used in various molecular weights — each offering different benefits:
- High Molecular Weight HA (HMW-HA): Stays on the surface, forming a hydrating film
- Low Molecular Weight HA (LMW-HA): Penetrates deeper into the skin for long-lasting hydration and plumping
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid for the Skin
- Deep Hydration without heaviness
- Plumps fine lines and improves elasticity
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Soothes dryness and irritation
- Safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone
HMW vs. LMW: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | High Molecular (HMW-HA) | Low Molecular (LMW-HA) |
|---|---|---|
| 💧 Moisture retention | Excellent surface hydration | Deeper penetration, longer-lasting moisture |
| ✨ Texture | Glossy, film-forming | Lightweight, fast-absorbing |
| 🎯 Effect | Immediate plump, water-locking | Firming, wrinkle reduction, inner hydration |
| 🌱 Use case | Creams, masks | Serums, ampoules |
