Will hyaluronic acid topical products actually end your aging misery? Well, I guess it depends. Using products that actually increase the amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) in your skin can certainly help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines; but products that actually contain HA as an ingredient are a whole different story....
The introduction of hyaluronic acid topical products was just like when collagen products hit the market. Because of all the hype and buzz of collagen protein and it's importance in determining the firmness and elasticity of the skin (which is absolutely true), people just assumed that creams and lotions containing collagen were the answers they were looking for. But the lack of results these products produced took most consumers by surprise.
The problem is both collagen and HA molecules are too large to penetrate through the skin. And even though collagen molecules are larger, HA in high concentrations is thick, sticky, and almost gummy, which makes it even more difficult to be absorbed into the skin. In the end, a significant amount of these molecules are left to sit on your skin until they are washed off.
But even though these kind of hyaluronic acid topical products are less effective than originally thought, it doesn't mean that you cannot increase the amount of HA in your skin. Not at all....
The hyaluronic acid topical products that DO WORK are those that help to NATURALLY PRESERVE the amounts of HA that's already in all of your skin's cells. This is done by addressing the problem of HA degradation at it's source.
You see, free radicals (which are created in the skin thanks to UV radiation, pollution, and the natural aging process) decrease the skin's ability to produce HA naturally, and even speed up the process of it's degradation. This is because free radicals trigger the activity of a bodily enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzymes main function is to break down HA in your skin cells.
So the hyaluronic acid topical products you want to use will contain ingredients like Phytessence Wakame, which inhibits the activity of this enzyme, preserving the amounts of your natural HA in your skin. Plus, potent antioxidants like CoenzymeQ10, manuka honey, and natural vitamin E can significantly decrease the amount of free radicals in your skin, allowing it to stay firmer, more supple, and youthful much longer.
DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE MOST CONSUMER MAKE. Instead of just buying a hyaluronic acid topical product that actually contains HA as an ingredient, get anti-aging products that address the whole problem in a more natural and holistic way. Trust me- since I've been using these kind of products, it's been a whole lot more enjoyable looking in the mirror each and every morning without seeing wrinkles and fine lines on my skin!
