What is Hyaluronic Acid?
There are waves of Asian skincare products that contain
hyaluronic acid. We know it’s good for us, because otherwise why would
companies heavily promote this ingredient? Below is what I gathered through some
brief research:
“Hyaluronic acid is a complex sugar, known as a
glycosaminoglycan, and is found throughout the body. It is particularly
prevalent in connective tissue, the synovial fluid around joints, the eyes, the
heart, the intervertebral spinal disks and the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid is also a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair.
Topically applied, hyaluronic acid forms an air permeable layer and penetrates
into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the skin.
The protective barrier on the skin locks in moisture, which gives the skin a
youthful appearance. As we age, skin moisture can drop significantly, which
creates aging like effects on skin appearance as it loses its elasticity.”
Review:
Anyone familiar with Japanese skincare would tell you this
is one of the best selling beauty products in Japan, and it’s true. According
to their website, one bottle is sold every two seconds, so that makes them
easily the number one face lotion there. I can see why it’s so popular because
it really is an amazing product. I use this every night after I shower and it
makes my skin feel instantly hydrated. It’s a fragrance free, water-like substance
that can be easily applied and absorbed onto skin. After using this product it
makes my face feel smooth and moisturized. It does not feel sticky at all,
because it absorbs quickly. This product is great for any skin type as it is
fragrance, alcohol, and oil free. I
really can’t think of any cons for this product because that’s how much I love
it!
