The formula for hydrated, protected skin
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most loved ingredients in modern cosmetics, known for its moisturising, plumping and anti-ageing properties. But not everyone knows that its effectiveness depends a great deal on its molecular weight. In this article we will explore the advantages of combining very low molecular weight (short-chain) and high molecular weight (long-chain) hyaluronic acid, an innovative formula that promises visible, long-lasting results.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule present in our body, particularly in the skin, joints and eyes. Its main function is to retain water, keeping the skin hydrated, elastic and plump. As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to dryness, loss of volume and wrinkles.
The difference between low and high molecular weight
The hyaluronic acids used in cosmetic formulations differ in molecular weight:
- High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (long chain): It has a larger structure, which acts on the surface of the skin, forming a protective, moisturising barrier. This type of acid is ideal for retaining moisture and giving an immediate plumping effect.
- Very Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (short chain): Thanks to its small size, it penetrates deeper into the layers of the epidermis. There it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving the structure of the skin and reducing wrinkles from within.
Why combine them?
The combined use of hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights harnesses the advantages of both forms, offering a complete, effective treatment. Here are the main benefits:
Multi-level hydration:
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid acts on the surface, creating a protective barrier that retains water.
Very low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply, providing hydration to the innermost layers of the epidermis.
Complete anti-ageing effect:
The combination reduces surface wrinkles thanks to the plumping action of the high molecular weight acid.
It stimulates cell regeneration and collagen production in the deeper layers, for visibly younger, more toned skin.
Protection and repair:
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid protects the skin from external agents and water loss.
The very low molecular weight version helps repair damage caused by oxidative stress and ageing.
To get the most benefits, it is important to choose products such as B-Selfie Face Lifting Serum, the anti-ageing serum that fights wrinkles, expression lines and the signs of time, strengthens the skin barrier, leaves the skin silky and protects it from moisture loss.
