Hyaluronic Acid
This amazing ingredient is considered to have a greater capacity to hold moisture than any other ingredient. Just one gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to SIX LITRES of water.
Hyaluronic acid’s moisture-binding elements are fundamentally important when it comes to skin aging. As we age, our skin loses the ability to retain vital moisture to keep its youthful appearance.
Hyaluronic acid can enhance moisture content beyond comparison to anything else, and at the same time revitalizing skin’s outer layers. Skin will look and feel softer, smoother and importantly, radiantly hydrated! This hydration instantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
