Hyaluronic acid: A molecule at the heart of the skin
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule naturally present in our bodies. Particularly in the skin, which stores 50% of the human body's total hyaluronic acid, joints and eyes. It plays a key role in maintaining skin hydration and elasticity , thanks to its unique ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. With age, natural hyaluronic acid production declines, leading to dryness, wrinkles and loss of skin volume.
HA has become a leading ingredient in cosmetics and dietary supplements for its many benefits for the skin, but also for its applications in global health.
The exceptional moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid
Moisturization is essential for preserving the skin's youthful beauty. Hyaluronic acid acts like a "molecular sponge", capturing and retaining water on the surface of the epidermis (granular and spinous layers) and deeper down in the dermis.. This action :
- Reduces skin dehydrationeven in dry environments.
- Improves skin texturemaking it softer and more luminous.
- Enriches the skin matrixfor visibly plumper, plumper skin.
From clinical studies have shown that daily use of hyaluronic acid in the form of serums or creams increases skin hydration significantly after 8 weeks.
A powerful anti-aging asset
In addition to its moisturizing properties, hyaluronic acid is a precious ally against the visible signs of aging:
- Fine lines and wrinkles By filling the spaces between skin cells, HA visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and restores volume to hollow areas.
- Skin elasticity It is used to counteract the compressive forces to which the skin is subjected on a daily basis. Combined with collagen and elastin, which are used to cope with tensile forces, they have a complementary action: they ensure the cohesion of the matrix in which they are found.
- Cellular repair By promoting tissue regeneration when micro-damage occurs, its synthesis increases during tissue damage and wound healing, so HA regulates several aspects of tissue repair.
Nutricosmetics applications: moisturizing from within
Hyaluronic acid is also used in dietary supplements to hydrate the skin from within. Vitamin C, on the other hand, protects the skin against free radicals and supports natural collagen production. In combination, these two ingredients have a synergistic action that offers overall skin protection.
Studies show that oral intake of hyaluronic acid significantly improves skin elasticity and tone, and reduces the depth of wrinkles after 28 days of supplementation.
Wrinkles were significantly less pronounced (-17.6%) and shallower (-18.8%), with significant improvements in skin tone, elasticity and hydration (ROELMI, l'actualité de la nutraceutique 2023).

Collagen as an ally for more beautiful skin: effectiveness and innovation
Collagen, an essential protein in our bodies, plays a crucial role in skin structure. Present 80% as type I collagen and 15% as type III collagen, it is responsible for the skin's elasticity, firmness and density. However, with age, collagen production declines by 1% to 1.5% per year, leading to visible signs of cutaneous aging...
