Hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes and improves skin elasticity by holding up to 5,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid is distributed widely throughout skin tissue, improving the skin moisture balance and maintaining lipid balance while increasing cellular renewal by improving the skin moisture barrier. Hyaluronic acid readily binds moisture in the skin boosting moisturizing and plumping the surrounding tissues. The loss of hyaluronic acid results in slower tissue repair, accelerating the aging process causing skin to lose its moisture.
