[AN ANTIAGING INGREDIENT : HYALURONIC ACID - SODIUM HYALURONATE] Nowadays, Hyaluronic Acid has become a serious skincare staple and one of the active ingredients in many anti-ageing products. What is Hyaluronic Acid? Naturally occurring in our body, Hyaluronic Acid is the natural gel that fills in spaces between skin cells, providing protection to cell structures and serving as a water reservoir for the cells. Also known as Sodium Hyaluronate, it is one of the major components of skin’s matrix, along with collagen, elastin and proteins. Young skin has plenty of hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and proteins that contributed to its strength, elasticity, firmness and youthful appearance. As we age, our skin gradually loses its components; triggering the appearance of lines, wrinkles, loss of skin’s firmness, elasticity and volume. Declining levels of Hyaluronic Acid reduces skin’s ability to retain water, therefore, as we get older, our skin is more prone to dryness and dehydration. High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMW - HA) This is the standard Hyaluronic Acid that have been available for many decades. High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (HMW - HA) is an effective skin hydrator with its clinically proven anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. With the ability to retain up to 1000 times its weight in water; it instantly soothes dry and dehydration skin, reduces the appearance of dry lines, wrinkles and increases skin’s firmness, strength and elasticity. Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW - HA) For many years, Hyaluronic Acid has been injected deeper into the skin to erase the signs of ageing such as wrinkles, lines, thinning lips, loss of volume and sagging skin. Thanks to the latest development in enzyme technology; now, there is a more potent version of Hyaluronic Acid which penetrates deeper into the skin, delivering faster and better results. Known as Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW - HA), it serves as an alternative to hyaluronic acid injection. It is more effective than the standard Hyaluronic Acid. In addition to providing all the benefits of standard Hyaluronic Acid, LMW - HA has been clinically proven to strengthen skin’s defense against infection by microorganism. It is an excellent ingredient to improve and maintain skin’s health. Vegan-friendly Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid used in skin care products, injection and health supplement is normally extracted from rooster combs, makes it unsuitable for vegans. However, with the latest bio-technology, it is possible to produce a premium quality of Hyaluronic Acid from glucose, soy peptone and yeast extract. At Henry Tianus, we use the vegan-friendly, Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, so our products are highly effective and suitable for vegans. Get The Most Anti-Ageing Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most gentle, natural skincare ingredient which is suitable for all skin types including very sensitive skin. The efficacy of Hyaluronic Acid is very much depending on its skin penetrative ability, therefore, choose a serum that has been formulated with Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (LMW - HA) for best skin absorption. Unlike a cream or lotion, serum has a light texture which is better absorbed by the skin. To get the most anti-ageing benefits from Hyaluronic Acid, apply the serum straight after cleansing and toning, before applying your moisturiser, sunscreen or make up.
