• Skincare in your 40s: why it's time to include retinol and other active ingredients in your daily routine

There are

cosmetic assets

that are absolute winners when it comes to facial treatments: among them,

hyaluronic acid,

without a doubt, but also niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol ... They are the Golden Balls of beauty that dermatologists recommend without hesitation.

Specifically, if we talk about hyaluronic acid, it is its

moisturizing power

that conquers all experts and many cosmetics, including

serums,

without a doubt.

Nor is it missing in aesthetic medicine consultations, where it is the king of infiltrations, with the permission of Botox.

Before delving into what a

hilauronic acid serum achieves,

let's take a step back to assess what exactly this highly valued and effective asset is.

What is the function of hyaluronic acid?

What the experts say

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is

naturally

present

in skin, cartilage, or tendons.

With age, it is lost: at 60 we only have

10%.

The position of being one of the preferred assets of dermatologists was won years ago for its

hydration power

- one gram retains between three and six liters of water - but it has maintained the position because "it is capable of counteracting

the effects of the sun. ,

stress or pollution on the skin; it stimulates the natural production of collagen and serves to fill wrinkles or tighten with natural results ", lists the aesthetic doctor

Moisés Amselem.

In other words: in addition to hydrating, which is what it achieves mainly in cosmetics, it provides

firmness, turgor and elasticity.

Hyaluronic acid serum: what are its properties

Present naturally in the skin, loved for its

sponge effect,

which retains moisture, hyaluronic acid began to be seen by cosmetic laboratories back in the 90s.

Its supremacy as a hydrating active is unbeatable since then - it absorbs

up to a thousand times its weight in water.

"Hydration

is undoubtedly its great potential topically," says dermatologist

Paloma Borregón.

Hence,

hylauronic acid serums

shine for their nourishing effect and are one of the most loved by

dry skin,

but also by oily skin: their light texture and hydrating power are the perfect combination for this type of problem skin.

To go beyond the sponge effect, laboratories began to work on the size of their molecules: the smaller they were, the deeper they would go.

Thus, serums often include

high and low molecular weight hyaluronic

to hydrate in different layers.

This also stimulates the natural production

of collagen,

responsible for firmness.

"But we must not forget that if you are looking for a filling effect or to replace the lost hyaluronic acid, it only works infiltrated", warns Borregón.

By the way, do not let its name be misleading: the term acid that gives it the name does not mean

that it exfoliates or that it is photosensitizing, it

can be applied in the morning or at night.

The formulas that combine it with vitamin C are perfect during the day, according to the experts.
