To maintain the beauty and youth of the face there is a lot of money. Very popular cream with hyaluronic acid. They are not only safe, but also effective for home use.
The composition and beneficial properties of creams with hyaluronic acid
Salons and pharmacies offer a wide range of products containing hyaluronic acid. Masks, creams, balms, shampoos and gels can be used independently. The use of hyaluronic acid in cosmetic products is a fairly effective alternative to biorevitalization, mesotherapy.
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide of the family of glucosaminoglycans. It is the main element of the extracellular matrix, being present in the composition of the connective tissue. The largest amount of hyaluronic acid is present in the skin.
Here its synthesis is provided by fibroblasts, which are cells of the connective tissue. In addition to hyaluronic acid, they also produce collagen and elastin.
Hyaluronic acid fills the space between collagen and elastin, and is also contained in the corneocytes - the cells of the stratum corneum.
The main function of hyaluronic acid is to bind 500 water molecules with just one molecule. It is able to retain moisture, preserving the elasticity and youthfulness of the skin. In addition to its hydrophilic properties, sodium hyaluronate performs the following functions:
- participates in the process of proliferation - tissue growth due to cell division;
- possesses high antioxidant properties, protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation and the effects of free radicals;
- responsible for transporting oxygen and blood molecules to damaged or inflamed areas.
As the body matures, as well as from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, the process of decomposition of hyaluronic acid begins to prevail over its synthesis. The processes of degradation and decomposition of hyaluronic acid, changes in its structure, lead to the first signs of aging.
Wrinkles, flabbiness, dryness of the skin appear. Independent use of hyaluronic acid, performed correctly and regularly, can have a noticeable rejuvenating effect:
- visually reduce fine and mimic wrinkles;
- provide the skin with moisture and nutrition, eliminating peeling and dryness;
- smooth damaged skin, reduce the appearance of scars;
- activate cell regeneration processes;
- level the complexion;
- create a protective barrier against destructive environmental factors.
Hyaluronic acid in the composition of the cream - an effective and convenient way to self-use. Expensive brands also use supplements in the form of plant extracts, animal extracts, royal jelly, collagen, vitamins of various groups and other useful components.
Types of Sodium Hyaluronate Creams
Hyaluronic acid can be with large and small molecular size, the nature of its effect on the skin depends on it. The impact of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid in the cream is carried out mostly outside due to the large size of the molecules.
A film is formed on the surface of the dermis, protecting the skin from moisture loss. It creates a quick tightening effect, evens the skin structure, stimulates skin processes. But only injections can have a radical effect.
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, obtained by crushing molecules, is able to penetrate deep into the skin. The small specific weight and size of the molecules allows them to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, at the same time creating a protective film on its surface.
It contributes to the regeneration of the skin, fighting acne, herpes, has ultraviolet protection, improves the work of enzymes.
Japanese cosmetics, containing hyaluronate molecules fragmented to nanoparticles, are particularly effective.
But the cost of such creams starts from $ 500.
Creams are divided into day or night. The daytime variant, as a rule, has a lighter consistency, it is quickly absorbed. Together with hyaluronic acid, herbal extracts can be a part of the day cream.
A mandatory element is a UV filter, the value of which must be at least 15. The composition may also contain vitamins, oleic and linoleic acid. The main function of the day cream is moisturizing, UV protection.

Pharmaceutical products based on hyaluronic acid should not be considered a panacea for skin aging. But they help to prolong the healthy and attractive appearance of the face, effectively caring for the skin.
The choice of cream can not be clear for everyone. You will have to choose your own version of an effective remedy by trial and error, therefore it is recommended to get advice from a beautician.
