ACTIVE INGREDIENT HYALURONIC ACID
In case you haven't noticed: We love hyaluronic acid!
Right down to the smallest molecules. Because it is precisely these molecules that are responsible for taking valuable moisture into your skin, keeping it there and providing it with the best long-term care. When your skin is bursting with moisture, fine lines and wrinkles are plumped up, redness is reduced and dryness is balanced out. Want to find out more? Then read on straight away!
WHAT IS HYALURON?
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide and consists of a long chain of repeating disaccharide building blocks. A hyaluronic acid chain can consist of up to 50,000 of these building blocks. The individual chains attract each other and thus form a close-meshed network. Like a kind of sponge, hyaluronic acid is therefore able to bind and store large quantities of water.
Our body uses this property to produce hyaluronic acid itself and use it precisely where a lot of water needs to be retained, for example in the eye or in the joints. However, it is most abundant in the intercellular spaces of the skin. Here it forms a gel-like matrix in the dermis, in which collagen fibers and fibroblasts are embedded. Together with these proteins, hyaluronic acid is responsible for structure and elasticity.
