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.
