The Best Hyaluronic Acid for Skin Care and Why Professional-Grade Matters
Hyaluronic acid has become a sought-after ingredient in skin care in the past few years, and for good reason. But what exactly is hyaluronic acid, and what does it do?
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that plays a crucial role in keeping our skin hydrated and plump. It is a glycosaminoglycan, which means it’s a type of molecule that is found in connective tissue throughout our bodies. Hyaluronic acid is particularly abundant in our skin, where it helps to maintain moisture levels and support the structure of our skin cells.
As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, which can lead to dry, dull, and wrinkled skin. This is why many skin care products now contain hyaluronic acid as a key ingredient.
The best products with hyaluronic acid
But buyer beware. As is the case with so many other amazing skin care ingredients, there are no real standards about how much of the ingredient needs to be in a product to be effective. Many major brands use the smallest amount of an ingredient—just to be able to list it on the label—and then pump in fillers, which are useless to your skin! Or they use large molecule hyaluronic acid that is not as penetrating and effective.
That’s why it’s a much better choice to buy only professional-grade products made in small batches, like Skintessence. (View our products with hyaluronic acid)
Professional-grade, small-batch hyaluronic acid is a highly concentrated form of the molecule that’s designed to penetrate deep into the skin and provide maximum hydration and anti-aging benefits. It has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, which means it can help to fill in the spaces between skin cells and create a more youthful, radiant complexion. This is why it’s so effective in plumping up your skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Another benefit of professional-grade hyaluronic acid is that it can help to protect your skin from environmental damage. This is because it acts as a barrier against pollutants and other harmful substances that can cause oxidative stress and damage to your skin cells.
We offer two products with professional-grade, small-batch hyaluronic acid that are safe and effective for all skin types:
