Description
Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally within the human body, and becomes depleted over time. It is a hydrophilic glycosaminoglycan, a compound that occurs as one of the chief components of connective tissue. The greatest concentrations of hyaluronic acid are found within the skin. It is these high levels that give younger skin its bounce and elasticity. As we age, the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid drops considerably, decreasing skin’s moisture levels. Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic in nature, meaning that it has the unique ability to draw water to itself like a magnet.
