Hyaluronic serum is a popular cosmetic product that contains hyaluronic acid, a natural protein that helps maintain the oil-water balance of the skin. It is used to promote cell regeneration, repair, and intense moisturizing, making it a popular anti-aging formulation. Topical use of hyaluronic serum has been approved by the FDA.
Hyaluronic serum is a commercially available form of hyaluronic acid commonly used as a standalone cosmetic product. It is also used in combination with other ingredients in skin care products, especially anti-aging formulations. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural protein, mucopolysaccharide, to be more precise. It is synthesized by the body and is present in skin cells. Mainly responsible for maintaining the oil-water balance of dermal tissues, it helps to provide adequate hydration and nourishment. With age, the synthesis of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases and the skin begins to show signs of aging in the form of wrinkles, crow’s feet and sagging.
The commercial application of hyaluronic acid was patented by Endre Balazs in 1942. Contrary to popular belief, hyaluronic acid is not an “acid” but a pH neutral salt. Often described as a natural moisturizer, hyaluronic acid has also found its way into the field of orthopedics. Medical researchers have attempted to use the compound as a lubricant for joints and muscles. Hyaluronic acid can also be used as an injection in its stabilized form. Restylane®, which is a hyaluronic acid injection, is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to Botox® and collagen injections.
Hyaluronic acid is the primary active ingredient in commercially available hyaluronic serum and cream preparations which may also contain other botanical extracts, oils and fragrances. This serum complements the body’s natural production of HA by the skin and promotes cell regeneration and repair along with an intense moisturizing action. The compound works by binding to the humidity in the air and holding it for long periods of time. This hydrophilic and moisture-retentive property of hyaluronic serum is responsible for its popularity as a moisturizer and as an anti-wrinkle formulation. Some hyaluronic serums are formulated to lock in intercellular moisture derived from fluids consumed by the body rather than depending on atmospheric humidity.
Moisturized skin becomes soft, supple and taut, thus filling in fine lines and filling in wrinkles. This may be why many users observe an instant change in their appearance after using hyaluron serum. Because it is an expensive compound, it is often used sparingly and a few drops of the potion are sufficient to achieve the desired results. Topical use of HA in the form of hyaluronic serum has been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
