If you didn’t know any better, you’d probably think that applying a 100% pure hyaluronic acid serum would dramatically increase the amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) in your skin. But this article explains why it doesn’t really work this way.
A 100% pure hyaluronic acid serum certainly sounds like a logical way to boost the amounts of HA in your skin. But just like most collagen and elastin products, they fail to work effectively.
The whole problem lies within the design of each product. Creams or lotions that actually contain pure hyaluronic acid, collagen, or elastin are ineffective because these molecules are too large to penetrate through the skin.
Virtually no collagen and elastin protein can ever penetrate through the skin. When it comes to HA, only minimal amounts can be absorbed through the skin. But when you’re talking about using a 100% pure hyaluronic acid serum, then it can’t possibly be absorbed through the skin. This is because a higher concentration of HA means it’s a much thicker and stickier substance, making it virtually impossible to be absorbed.
It’s unfortunate that most people aren’t aware of this simple fact, which explains why so many people still buy these kind of products. And I’ll admit it- I use to be one of these people!
But that was only until I read an article online about how to REALLY increase the amount of HA in your skin. It explained that the only reason our amounts of HA decrease as we age is because it’s continually broken down by an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
And that’s when I was introduced to a unique Japanese anti-aging ingredient called Phytessence Wakame. This sea kelp extract actually stops the activity of hyaluronidase in the skin, which preserves the amounts of natural hyaluronic acid that the body creates. By doing this, skin is able to retain much more moisture, which in turn makes skin more plump and smooth so wrinkles and fine lines are hidden.
It was right after I learned about this that I actually found anti-aging products that produced the results I was looking for. I just hope that by reading this article, you are able to start seeing the results you desire just like I did and avoid wasting your time and money on a pure hyaluronic acid serum.
