About Hyaluronic Acid

   Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring component in your skin and is the key molecule responsible for skin moisture. You can find Hyaluronic Acid throughout your body but its highest concentration is in your skin. When Hyaluronic Acid is applied to the skin the result is plumper more hydrated skin that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Studies show that HA can hold up to one thousand times its own weight in water molecules.

Why it works?

The amount of naturally occurring Hyaluronic acid decreases as we age creating fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Topically applying Joviderm’s Hyaluronic acid you are restoring your skins ability to store skin moisture and reduce the signs of aging, specifically fine lines and wrinkles. Because of Hyaluronic Acid’s natural attraction to water properties you skin will look more refreshed and hydrated. Think of Hyaluronic Acid as a sponge that helps absorb water into your skin.

Who should use Hyaluronic Acid & is it safe?

Don’t be misled by the word “Acid” in Hyaluronic Acid. HA will in no way exfoliate your skin in fact it does the complete opposite. The term “acid” simply comes from the enzyme used to synthesize HA called “hyaluronic acid synthase.” HA is great for all skin types and is not irritating and will not trigger acne or rosacea. HA is especially great for those who are looking to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
