Hyaluronic acid (HA) has long been one of the most popular ingredients in the world of cosmetology and dermatology due to its moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding it. Let's sort out what's true and what's not.
Myth #1 - Hyaluronic Acid Can Replace Collagen
Truth: HA and collagen perform different functions in the skin. Collagen provides strength and elasticity to the skin, while HA is a powerful moisturizer that attracts and retains water in the skin. They complement each other but cannot completely replace one another.
Myth #2 - The More Hyaluronic Acid, the Better
Truth: The effectiveness of HA depends not only on its concentration in the product but also on its molecular weight. Small molecules of hyaluronic acid can penetrate deeper into the skin, providing hydration from within, while larger molecules form a moisture-retaining barrier on the skin's surface. An ideal product should have a combination of different sized molecules for the best effect.
Myth #3 - Hyaluronic Acid Can Cause Allergies
Truth: HA is a natural component of human skin, and allergic reactions to it are very rare. Possible allergies can be caused by other ingredients in the product, not the hyaluronic acid itself.
Myth #4 - Hyaluronic Acid is Only Effective in Injections
Truth: HA injections can indeed provide immediate and noticeable hydration and smoothing of wrinkles, but that doesn't mean topical application is useless. Creams and serums with hyaluronic acid moisturize the skin, improve its texture, and reduce fine wrinkles with regular use.
Myth #5 - Hyaluronic Acid is Effective Under All Conditions
Truth: HA attracts water from the environment, so in low humidity, it may start drawing water from the deeper layers of the skin, leading to the opposite effect - dryness. It’s important to use HA products in combination with ingredients (such as oils) that help lock in and retain moisture in the skin.
Myth #6 - Hyaluronic Acid Works Instantly
Truth: While some HA products can provide an instant moisturizing effect, the best results are achieved with regular and prolonged use. Improvements in skin texture, reduction of fine lines, and wrinkles are noticeable after several weeks of use.
