what is hyaluronic acid
Cosmetologists call products “with hyaluron” universal: they are suitable for any age and practically do not cause allergic reactions.
“Hyaluronic acid is a natural biopolymer that provides the framework and holding function of tissues, including the skin. If cells are called bricks, hyaluronic acid is the cement that binds them together. Librederm brand specialist dermatovenereologist, dermatocosmetologist Alexander Frolov, explains that, because one hyaluronic acid molecule can hold up to a thousand water molecules, it functions as a skeleton.”
The doctor adds that the higher the concentration of hyaluronic acid in the epidermis and dermis, the higher the turgor (tension of the membranes of living cells) and skin tone. In her opinion, cosmetic products containing hyaluronic acid can solve several problems at once: making the skin more elastic and supple, eliminating the feeling of tightness and taking a good measure against signs of aging.

However, the main task of cosmetic products containing hyaluronic acid is to moisturize the skin. Hyaluronic acid itself is of two types – high molecular weight and low molecular weight, and each has its own effect.
“Large molecular weight hyaluronic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect, while low molecular weight hyaluronic acid can stimulate the synthesis of its own hyaluronic acid in the skin,” says brand expert cosmetologist Natalya Tokmakova. [ comfort zone ].
He explains that large molecules work on the surface of the skin and smooth the skin immediately after application of the product, while small molecules (micromolecules or biomimetic parts of hyaluronic acid) penetrate deeper, moisturize the deeper layers of the epidermis and stimulate production. new hyaluronic acid in the dermis. There are also products that contain both types of hyaluronic acid, according to him.
“Products with cross-linked hyaluronic acid maximize the filling of irregularities, smooth the skin and retain moisture in the skin the longest,” adds the expert.
How does hyaluronic acid penetrate the skin?
Many do not trust cosmetics with active ingredients, believing that a cream or serum cannot “give” the skin beneficial substances. There is indeed some truth to this. According to Alexander Frolov, the most effective way to deliver hyaluronic acid to the skin is injection techniques, especially mesotherapy.
“However, according to very reputable studies, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (20 to 300 kDa) passes through the stratum corneum, in contrast to high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (1000 to 1400 kDa). Doctor, for those who are categorically opposed to “beauty shots” this is good news.
Natalya Tokmakova adds that, unlike peptides, there are no strictly defined concentrations for hyaluronic acid.
“The concentration in the product is typically between 0.01% and 2%. Therefore, when choosing, you should rely on the experience and reputation of the manufacturer, the ability to create competently balanced formulas and their own impressions of the application,” he explains.

Who are hyaluronic acid products suitable for?
According to Alexander Frolov, creams and serums containing hyaluronic acid can be basic and suitable for permanent care at any age. The dermatologist explains that regardless of race, gender, age and skin type, hyaluronic acid always remains one of the important components of the intercellular substance.
“Unfortunately, his concentration decreases with age. In addition, its destruction is accelerated by stress, aggressive cosmetic procedures and inflammatory processes. That’s why products containing hyaluronic acid are timeless and always relevant,” he thinks.
Natalya Tokmakova agrees: products with hyaluronic acid are suitable for almost all skin types, conditions and ages. “These products are particularly suitable for skin that suffers from a lack of moisture,” she elaborates.
The expert adds that hyaluronic acid products should be used with caution in people with severely damaged skin lipid barriers. “In this case, it is necessary to restore the barrier with correctly selected oils and ceramides, otherwise hyaluronic acid will not give the expected effect. If you combine hyaluronic acid to hydrate and lipids to strengthen the barrier, the result will be excellent,” she says.
