Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is a form of hyaluronic acid with a lower molecular weight, allowing it to penetrate the skin more easily. It is commonly used in skincare products as a humectant to attract and retain moisture, and as a plumping agent to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
{"Hydration": "Attracts and retains moisture in the skin, helping to keep it hydrated and plump.", "Plumping": "Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by plumping up the skin.", "Wound healing": "Supports the skin's natural wound-healing process."}
Suitable for all skin types, especially those with dry or dehydrated skin.
{"Inflammation": "Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid can trigger an inflammatory response in some individuals.", "Dehydration": "Can draw moisture from the skin's deeper layers, leading to dehydration if not followed by a moisturizer.", "Microbiome disruption": "May feed certain types of fungi on the skin's surface, leading to inflammation and microbiome disruption."}
{"Patch test": "Do a patch test before using hyaluronic acid products to check for any allergic reactions.", "Avoid overuse": "Use hyaluronic acid products in moderation to avoid over-hydration and potential irritation.", "Follow with moisturizer": "Apply a moisturizer after using hyaluronic acid products to help seal in moisture and prevent dehydration."}
Derived from bacterial or microbial fermentation.
