Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, mainly found in the skin, joints, and eyes. Its primary function is to retain moisture by binding large amounts of water, which helps keep tissues hydrated and well-lubricated.
In skincare and dermatology, hyaluronic acid is widely used for its ability to improve skin hydration, reduce dryness, and enhance elasticity. It helps the skin appear smoother and more plump, which is why it is commonly included in creams, serums, and cosmetic treatments. In aesthetic procedures, it is also used as a dermal filler to restore facial volume and reduce visible signs of aging.
