Hyaluronic acid for skin and hair

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that our body produces on its own. However, over time, we start to produce less and less of it, which inevitably has consequences for the beauty of our skin and hair. 

But what is the mechanism of action of hyaluronic acid? What is its function on skin and hair? In this article, we discover more about this powerful molecule!

How does hyaluronic acid work? 

What makes hyaluronic acid truly a marvel for skin and hair is its ability to bind water molecules together. This means that tissues can, thanks to the presence of hyaluronic acid, retain water within themselves. Hydrated skin and hair also appear fuller, smoother, and plumper.

Hyaluronic acid for the skin 

"A skin that retains hyaluronic acid within it is also a skin that maintains elasticity over time and boasts a barrier capable of protecting it from bacteria, smog, and other external agents. By containing water loss, hyaluronic acid can ensure a firmer skin for a longer time." 

Not only is hyaluronic acid able to hydrate the skin, but another very important function is to counteract expression lines and fine wrinkles, thanks to its effective filling and plumping power. 

Various studies have shown that using creams containing hyaluronic acid daily can keep the skin looking fresher and younger for a long time. 

"An aspect that is rarely discussed but is of great importance when we talk about hyaluronic acid in cosmetics is molecular weight. In particular, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid can penetrate more deeply, amplifying the moisturizing power of the molecule. For this reason, it is preferable to choose creams that contain it." 

All Concilium products contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. The result of continuous application on the skin is a revitalizing, firming, re-densifying, hydrating effect, with guaranteed epidermal renewal.

Hyaluronic acid for hair 

To have a lush mane, the cuticle must be healthy and productive. However, some bad eating habits and smog can lead to its weakening. Hyaluronic acid acts on the skin, making it more hydrated and allowing the hair to maintain its moisture. In this case, hyaluronic acid also works by limiting water loss; for this reason, if you have particularly dull, brittle, and dry hair, it is important to choose products that contain this magical molecule. Hyaluronic acid can be used in combination with other powerful ingredients for hair, such as keratin or collagen. 

As we have seen in this article, hyaluronic acid can be a true beauty ally for skin and hair, which is why quality products contain it. In the case of the skin, the daily application of products that contain it will lead to a more toned, smooth, and plump appearance; if we choose it in products designed for hair, the result will be a thick, shiny, and well-behaved mane.
