The Different Types of Hyaluronic Acid

 

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
