HYALURONIC ACID

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

Hyaluronic acid, chemically known as hyaluronan, is a natural substance that is predominantly present in the connective tissues of the human body. It belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans, long-chain sugar molecules known for their ability to bind large amounts of water. This property makes hyaluronic acid an important component in skincare, particularly in moisturization and anti-aging treatments.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES

The chemical structure of hyaluronic acid consists of repeating units of disaccharides composed of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. This structure enables hyaluronic acid to bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water, contributing to its high viscoelastic nature and moisture retention capacity. This unique water-binding ability significantly contributes to maintaining the moisture, elasticity, and firmness of the skin.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid is a fundamental component of effective skincare, known for its pronounced hydrating and anti-aging properties. Depending on its molecular size, hyaluronic acid offers different benefits and is used for various skincare goals accordingly.

HIGH-MOLECULAR HYALURONIC ACID

The high-molecular form of hyaluronic acid consists of large molecules that primarily stay on the skin's surface. It creates a hydrating protective film that effectively retains moisture and protects the skin from environmental damage. This variant is ideal for immediate visible effects as it gives the skin a smoother and fuller appearance.

LOW-MOLECULAR HYALURONIC ACID

Also known as hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, this form has smaller molecules obtained through the hydrolysis process. Its smaller size allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin, providing long-lasting moisture. It helps the skin improve its elasticity and firmness, contributing to reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

OLIGO HYALURON

Oligo hyaluronic, made up of particularly small molecules, can penetrate even deeper into the skin to deliver intense moisture. It not only promotes skin hydration but also cell renewal, making it especially effective for anti-aging products. Continued use leads to a significant improvement in skin texture and firmness.

While many skincare products focus on high-molecular hyaluronic acid, which provides quick and superficial results, DOC.BERGER | EFFECT utilizes the full spectrum of hyaluronic acid forms. By combining high, low-molecular, and oligo hyaluronic acid, our products reach both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. This ensures comprehensive hydration and structural improvements in the skin. This comprehensive approach is a testament to our high-quality formulations aimed at achieving lasting and profound improvements in skin appearance.

BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID IN SKINCARE

Hyaluronic acid is a valuable component in skincare routines for various skin types, offering a wide range of benefits:

INTENSIVE MOISTURE RETENTION

Thanks to its unique ability to retain water, hyaluronic acid intensely moisturizes the skin. This leads to an immediate plumping effect on the skin, reducing dry lines and wrinkles.

SUPPORT OF SKIN ELASTICITY

Improved hydration through hyaluronic acid helps increase skin elasticity. This results in firmer, plumper skin and a more youthful appearance.

SOOTHING EFFECT ON SENSITIVE SKIN

Hyaluronic acid is known for its soothing properties, particularly beneficial for sensitive and irritated skin. It helps reduce redness and inflammation, calming the skin.

IMPROVEMENT OF SKIN TEXTURE

By smoothing the skin's surface, hyaluronic acid promotes a more even skin texture. It is ideal for treating fine lines and uneven skin structure.

PROTECTION AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

Hyaluronic acid strengthens the skin's natural barrier and helps prevent moisture loss. While it does not provide direct UV protection, it supports the skin in defending against environmental damage.

Therefore, hyaluronic acid is an essential component in skincare that not only provides intensive moisture but also improves skin structure and promotes the natural beauty and health of the skin.

HYALURONIC ACID AND DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES

Hyaluronic acid is a versatile ingredient that is suitable for almost all skin types. Its unique ability to bind moisture makes it a valuable component in skincare:

HYALURONIC ACID FOR DRY SKIN

For dry skin, hyaluronic acid is a true moisturizer. It helps strengthen the skin barrier and improve the skin's ability to retain moisture. This leads to a reduction in dry lines and a plumper, fresher appearance of the skin.

HYALURONIC ACID FOR OILY SKIN

Oily skin can also benefit from hyaluronic acid. Although it does not have a direct effect on sebum production, it helps to provide the skin with moisture without weighing it down or clogging the pores. This can help improve the overall appearance of the skin.

HYALURONIC ACID FOR MATURE SKIN

Hyaluronic acid demonstrates its anti-aging properties with mature skin. It helps the skin retain moisture, which contributes to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

HYALURONIC ACID FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive skin benefits from the soothing properties of hyaluronic acid. It helps to reduce redness and irritation and strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier, making it more resilient to external stressors.

HYALURONIC ACID FOR COMBINATION SKIN

For combination skin, hyaluronic acid provides a balancing effect. It moisturizes dry areas without burdening oily zones. This leads to a balanced skin appearance and improved skin texture.
