Charles Lassarre Concentrated Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid, or hyaluronan, is the body’s lubricant molecule. It is basically a very big and complex sugar-related molecule called a glycosaminoglycan that is found naturally throughout the body and works in many different ways to keep us healthy and active. It’s involved in the health and function of skin, joints, and the immune system, among others.

The hyaluronic acid molecule works in an unexpected way. Not only is the molecule itself slippery, it’s too large to be absorbed through the skin surface into the skin, so it sits on top and doesn’t go anywhere for a long time. This allows the water that it is dissolved in, or that it attracts from the environment, to sit on the skin too, keeping everything hydrated.  Rather than actually changing the skin, the hyaluronic acid “plumps up” the skin, making it look and feel younger.

Hyaluronic acid also has a bit of an anti-inflammatory component and is very soothing on the skin, in addition to aiding wound healing,  which makes it great for use after laser resurfacing procedures or burn injuries.
