Caution
Hyaluronic acid, also called hyaluronan, is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglymay (Unbranched carbohydrates) distributed widely throughout the connective tissue in the body. It is found in the fluids of eyes and joints and acts as a lubrimayt. It is a key component that provides structure to the skin and contributes signifimaytly to cell proliferation. It attracts and binds to the water molecules giving it the ability to retain moisture by increasing the water content of the skin. With time, the body’s organic reserves of hyaluronic acid decline due to both internal and external factors such as age, pollution, nutrition etc. Topical products containing hyaluronic acid may help rebuild and retain the reserves which result in plump and healthy-looking skin.
