Hyaluronic acid, collagen and the skin: a love story. Why? Well, in this article, you will learn about hyaluronic acid and how it works together with collagen to make your skin happy!
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and is an important component of various types of connective tissue. The main characteristic is its ability to bind water, namely up to 6 liters per gram of hyaluronic acid!
There are virtually no allergies or side effects to hyaluronic acid because this active ingredient is endogenous and known to the body. The best example of tolerance is hyaluronic acid eye drops that soothe itchy, reddened eyes.
The elasticity and firmness of the skin, as well as the connective tissue, depends primarily on the building blocks collagen and elastin. In addition, hyaluronic acid is a key component of the connective tissue between the skin cells, which it fills and supports. Due to the ability to bind large amounts of water, hyaluronic acid is responsible for the moisture content, plumpness, and glow of the skin.
With age, there is a significant decrease in the hyaluronic acid content of the skin. Together with the collagen degradation that begins simultaneously, this leads to the loss of the filling substance lying between the skin cells. The skin is no longer as elastic, loose volume, and shrinks – wrinkles appear.
Clinical studies from Japan with 120 mg and 240 mg hyaluronic acid per day show that with long-term (several months) and regular intake, hyaluronic acid can increase skin moisture and improve dry and rough skin. The wrinkles do not disappear with it though.
It is therefore important to always take hyaluronic acid in combination with collagen peptides. In studies, collagen peptides have been able to improve the appearance of the skin, i.e., wrinkles. In particular, the tripeptide form of collagen achieved quick results in scientific work. Since it is particularly small, it can immediately be absorbed and used by the body. Valuable essential amino acids in collagen also support many other tissues in the body.
Furthermore, vitamins such as vitamin C and minerals such as zinc should not be underestimated. Even if we don’t need them in large amounts, they still take on essential functions in the skin’s metabolism.
One last tip: Always drink enough water! Because if there is none, the hyaluronic acid cannot store any in the skin.
