Description
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found throughout the body, with particularly high concentrations in the skin. Topical HA acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the environment to hydrate the skin. This leads to improved skin plumpness, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhanced wound healing, and decreased inflammation. While generally safe, some individuals may experience mild irritation or allergic reactions. The effectiveness of topical HA is dependent on its molecular weight and concentration in the formulation.
