What is hyaluronic acid? Is it harmful to the skin?
No harm. The production process and technology of hyaluronic acid (HA) determine the quality difference, so the products produced from the right source can have therapeutic effect.

Biochemical drugs hyaluronic acid with high clinical value is widely used in various ophthalmic operations, such as lens implantation, corneal transplantation and anti-glaucoma surgery. It can also be used to treat arthritis and accelerate wound healing.

When used in cosmetics, it can play a unique role in skin care, keep skin moist, smooth, delicate, tender and elastic, and has the functions of anti-wrinkle, beauty care and recovery of skin physiological functions.

Extended data:

Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronic acid, is essentially a kind of macromolecular mucopolysaccharide, which exists in human skin tissue and connective tissue. In other words, we can find hyaluronic acid in skin, joints and cartilage. It can act as a "water molecule catcher" in skin, play a lubricating role in joint fluid, or support the nutrition and metabolism of chondrocytes in cartilage.

When we use skin care products (essence, mask, etc. ) containing hyaluronic acid and using enough moisturizing water, these hyaluronic acid molecules will desperately "absorb water" and then form a water-containing film on the skin surface, thus achieving the moisturizing effect.

Because this water-containing film is outside the skin, it will be washed away with cleaning. Therefore, hyaluronic acid moisturizing products for external use need to be used repeatedly for a long time in order to maintain moisture on the skin surface and exert moisturizing effect.
