Hyaluronic Acid - Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the body and generally decreases with age. In the skin, it exists in the epidermis and keeps the skin hydrated and supple due to its high water retention ability. As we age our production naturally decreases and we begin to notice alterations in our skin such as wrinkling or dry skin. Hyaluronic Acid helps reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles retaining moisture to the skin, creating a plumping effect. When the skin is protected and hydrated, increased skin cell production can take place, as the skin isn't busy fighting for hydration. This leads to smoother, plumper skin cells. HA works like an osmotic pump which means the HA absorbs water, it expands in volume, which then helps deliver other actives deeper into the layers of the skin.
