Hyaluronic acid benefits

Hyaluronic Acid is produced naturally by your body and has the unique capacity to bind and retain water molecules. This powerful ingredient makes sure your skin has enough moisture and volume in the epidermis (the top layer).

Did you know that Hyaluronic Acid has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water? That’s some seriously impressive plumping power!

Hydration and the skin’s ability to retain water is a key element in younger looking skin. Also known as Hyaluron, Hyaluronan, Hyaluronate or HA, Hyaluronic Acid is the pivotal molecule involved in skin moisture.

Hyaluronic Acid is one of NIVEA’s top anti-ageing ingredients. When used in a topical cream or lotion, this potent ingredient gives your skin the ultimate moisture boost – and who doesn’t love a bit of hydration?

WHY DO YOU NEED TO ADD HYALURONIC ACID TO YOUR ANTI-AGEING SKIN CARE ROUTINE

Levels of Hyaluronic Acid decrease in our bodies as we age. Skin slowly loses water, has less firmness and its structure softens. It is estimated that by the time we reach our mid-40’s, the production of Hyaluronic Acid is roughly half of what the body requires for adequate moisture retention.

To replenish Hyaluronic Acid lost through ageing, and to keep your skin firm, hydrated and looking younger, we recommend daily use of an anti-ageing cream or serum which contains this active.

HYALURONIC ACID BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN

•  FIRMER, PLUMPER SKIN

     Increase our cells’ ability to bind water, giving our skin a plumper and firmer appearance. Imagine a baby’s beautiful skin and how it always looks so plump and smooth.  Hyaluronic Acid has a lot to do with that. Babies are born with high levels of the moisture-filled acid giving them that soft and firm feel.

•  HYDRATING

     Hyaluronic Acid is also a skin hydrating bioactive ingredient, which binds large quantities of water together to aid in skin repair.

•  REDUCE SIGNS OF AGEING

     When applied to the skin through cosmetics and moisturisers, it strengthens the outer layers of the skin to create a healthy barrier, for softer, younger, firmer and more plumped up skin. A key ingredient in NIVEA’s Cellular Anti Age range, Hyaluronic Acid helps reduce signs of ageing, such as wrinkles.

•  HEALTHY CELLS

     Of equal importance is Hyaluronic Acid’s ability to extract waste from cells, regardless of the level of blood circulation, helping to keep our cells healthy and functioning at optimum levels.
