The star ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid, is a carbohydrate molecule that is naturally present in many areas of our body. Hyaluronic Acid works by helping our skin cells retain water making it look and feel always healthy and hydrated. This is your skin’s absolute hydration best friend!

A breakthrough skincare ingredient that is clinically proven to increase skin collagen synthesis and effectively help in reversing age-related skin changes such as wrinkles, roughness and age spots.

As a stand-alone ingredient, ferulic acid has been found to have potent antioxidant benefits on the skin, fighting free-radical damage that contributes to aging.

Taking it a step further, mixing it up with the rest of YEOUTH’s ingredients in its HA cream formulation brings us an amazing antioxidant that wards off free radicals, works as an effective protector against UV rays, and maximizes the benefits and full effectiveness of Vitamin C to the skin by stabilizing it and extending its life and increasing its efficacy by eight times.

Vitamin C shields the skin from free radicals caused by sun exposure and also helps reduce hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin E works hard to build a protective barrier for your skin, allowing the skin to retain its natural moisturizers. Plus, Vitamin C and Vitamin E actually work together to boost each other’s antioxidant effects.

The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in Shea butter make it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. And in fact, it also helps your skin to have a healthy turnover of new cells supporting the structure and tightness of your skin.

 

Hyaluronic acid is actually naturally found in the body unlike salicylic acid or glycolic acid. A large percentage of the body’s supply of hyaluronic acid is found in the body’s skin tissues serving to keep it moisturized, and at its best appearance; and a smaller but still significant percentage is found in between the body’s joints, serving as a lubricant and cushion. A little bit of it can also be found in the fluids of the eye, as well in the body’s connective tissues.

Because almost 50% of hyaluronic acid is found on the skin, most of its effect is evidently seen on the skin. Because of hyaluronic acid, we are able to keep our skin firm yet soft, as well as plump and supple.

However, the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid decreases as we age, which eventually leads to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and fine lines on the skin, especially on the face. This is exactly why we need a regular supply of hyaluronic acid.

The magic of this exceptional ingredient is seen in its power to retain in moisture – A LOT of moisture. In fact, just one gram of this acid can actually hold six liters of water.

This unique attribute of hyaluronic acid is significant in combating the early signs of skin aging. The ability to maintain youthful skin has to do with its capability to retain water (specifically, moisture). Without a good supply of moisture on the skin, the skin can lose its suppleness and firmness. So you see, hyaluronic acid serves as your skin’s superhero – it rescues your skin by boosting your skin’s moisture content, which leads to plump, youthful, and rejuvenated skin.

Other Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

Hold up, there’s more. The benefits of this wonder ingredient don’t stop there. There is more to hyaluronic acid than just being able to give you a youthful, radiant, hydrated appearance.

Just about everything in the environment can pose hazards to the skin – unprotected sun exposure, skin exposure to harsh ingredients in our skincare products, and a whole lot more – thus causing the skin to get weak. Hyaluronic acid’s ability to replenish nutrients and strengthen the skin allows your skin to go through your everyday with absolute protection.

Hyaluronic acid isn’t just for one specific kind of skin type. Hyaluronic acid is absolutely lightweight and comes in fluid form, making it perfect even for oily skin types. It has a high concentration of moisturizing properties, making it ideal for those with dry skin. It is also incredibly gentle – besides, it’s naturally found on the skin – making it absolutely great even for the most sensitive of all skin types.

With research, we have discovered that hyaluronic acid actually also serves as an antioxidant. That’s right! We ourselves were surprised by these findings as well. But, there’s no doubt that hyaluronic acid also provides a strong antioxidant defence against environmental hazards and assaults against the skin. Now that's one amazing multitasking anti-aging ingredient!

Add HA to Your Skincare Regimen

The easiest way to restore your levels of hyaluronic acid is by using a moisturizer that contains it, or even by simply using it as a stand-alone product. By using an HA cream, over time, you’ll notice that your skin has a more plump texture and does not feel so dried out. When you use a lotion, cream or serum with hyaluronic acid it helps to draw hydration and keep hydration in your skin which prevents your skin from looking so tight and dried out. Anyone with any skin type can use Hyaluronic Acid products. In fact, it is highly recommended that you do! Start checking for products that contain either Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate. Adding these products to your routine can create some amazing results that will have you wondering why you didn’t know of this magical ingredient sooner!

Every skin type can benefit from HA, even those with eczema. The consistency as very watery so even those with oily or acne prone skin can benefit from its light finish. You can wear HA alone or underneath your moisturizer and makeup. After washing your face, simply apply it onto your damp skin before your moisturizer or use it alone as your moisturizer and continue with your skin care routine as normal.

HA can be applied morning and night, but we recommend that you start by patch testing first and then using it once per day or every other day until you know how your skin reacts to it. You only need a really thin layer and follow that up with your moisturizer.

Now that you know how hyaluronic acid benefit skin, you might be wondering what products contain these gifted ingredients. As you probably already guessed, at YEOUTH we use Hyaluronic acid frequently in our formulations.
