The power of hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is one of the best moisturizing active ingredients, giving skin of all types a luminous glow and a smooth, plump appearance. It's precisely for this reason that Maria Galland Paris has chosen to incorporate this high-performance active ingredient into several of its skincare products. Time to explain to you how it works, how to use it and what the results are.
Key Takeaways
- Naturally found in the skin, hyaluronic acid helps retain water, supporting deep and long-lasting hydration.
- Renowned for its exceptional moisturizing properties, hyaluronic acid leaves skin looking smoother, plumper, and more radiant.
- From around age 25, natural hyaluronic acid levels gradually decline due to skin aging and environmental stressors.
- Incorporate hyaluronic acid into your skincare ritual to help maintain hydrated, healthy-looking, and glowing skin.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Naturally present in our skin, hyaluronic acid molecules play a major role: retaining water in the tissues to maintain a good level of hydration in the deep layers of the skin.
Within the epidermis, hyaluronic acid retains water and prevents dehydration. Deeper down, in the dermis, it fills the space between collagen fibers, playing a role in the skin's appearance, tone and consistency. It plumps the skin, increasing its softness and helping to maintain its elasticity, while forming a flexible, resistant film that enhances its protective function.
No wonder it's sometimes called the "molecular sponge", since it can absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in water!
Why use hyaluronic acid in cosmetics?
From the age of 25 onwards, hyaluronic acid production and its quality gradually decline, due to the skin's aging process, but also to the effects of multiple external aggressions, such as stress, pollution and sun exposure. This decline can lead to more delicate skin, more prone to imperfections, dull complexion and more pronounced features.
The role of hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is your ally for deep skin hydration.
By applying it directly to the skin, through serums, creams and masks, it is possible to boost the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid, which is in decline, and limit the risk of dehydration over the long term. The key is to use high-quality hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights, to ensure effective action wherever the skin needs it.
Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deep into the epidermis to boost natural hyaluronic acid production.
High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid remains on the surface to smooth out dehydration lines and tired, sunken features, giving the face a plump, luminous appearance.
