Why You Need Hyaluronic Acid

THE ROLE OF HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid, a naturally found substance (a sugar) that binds to water, is necessary for properly moisturized skin. “Hyaluronic acid literally holds water in the dermis forming an important component of the dermal matrix,” says West Palm Beach, FL, dermatologist Kenneth R. Beer, MD. In your 20s and 30s the body begins to produce less hyaluronic acid than before and when there is a dip, it shows on the skin.
