A staple in cosmetic formulations for years, hyaluronic acid is an active ingredient with unparalleled hydrating power . But does it live up to its promises of restoring youthful skin without injections? What are the true benefits of hyaluronic acid , and how can you effectively incorporate it into your anti-aging routine ? Follow the advice of Nooance experts for a radiant, flawless complexion thanks to the action of sodium hyaluronate .
Visible results: the 3 key actions of hyaluronic acid on your skin
- Anti-aging : Hyaluronic acid prevents and reduces visible signs of aging, plumps wrinkles and fine lines, and fills in surface dehydration lines.
- Hydration : it is the only active ingredient capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, giving it extraordinary hydrating, soothing and healing properties.
- Skin barrier protection : Hyaluronic acid, along with collagen and elastin, contributes to maintaining hydrated, supple and luminous skin, as well as better resistance to oxidative stress.
Multi-level hydration: the molecular weight criterion for an immediate rejuvenating effect
Discover how hyaluronic acid works to hydrate the skin lastingly and which form is best suited to your skin problem.
High molecular weight: a protective surface film
Naturally present in the extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid is a humectant that binds to water and collagen in the skin.
In its high molecular weight form , it acts primarily on the surface: it forms an invisible protective film that retains moisture and prevents dehydration. This helps to smooth skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and protect the skin barrier against external aggressors.
Low molecular weight: deep hydrating action
Thanks to its small size, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid penetrates the layers of the epidermis more easily. It acts as a hydration reservoir by delivering water directly to the heart of skin cells, thus improving skin density and elasticity.
By stimulating collagen production , it helps maintain a firm and bouncy skin structure, while slowing down the appearance of visible signs of aging.
Cosmetic treatments or injections: what are the effects on the skin?
The proven effectiveness of serums for hydration and surface fine lines
Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of hyaluronic acid in cosmetic care: by retaining water in the upper layers of the epidermis, it provides immediate soothing and reduces the appearance of dehydration lines .
However, the effectiveness of a serum depends primarily on its formulation and concentration . A good product generally combines different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to act both on the surface and deep within the skin.
Nooance's Multi-Active Serum combines 5 forms of hyaluronic acid concentrated at 0.8%, as well as vitamin B3, peptides and Centella Asiatica extract to repair the skin and reduce the signs of aging through intense and complete moisturizing care.
Injections: a quick medical solution to restore volume loss
In aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid injections can be used to fill hollow areas of the face , fill nasolabial folds, or plump the lips.
These results are immediate but also temporary: regular sessions (one or two per year) are necessary to maintain firm skin, which can represent a significant cost .
The application guide: how to maximize the benefits of your hyaluronic acid treatment?
Expert tip #1: always apply to damp skin
Always apply hyaluronic acid to clean, slightly damp skin . This active ingredient attracts water to the skin's surface and retains it in the skin tissues.
In what order should you integrate it into your routine?
After cleansing your face , use your hyaluronic acid-based products and complete your skincare routine with a moisturizing cream that will enhance the effectiveness of the active ingredient and prolong the feeling of comfort throughout the day.
The assets to combine for better efficiency
- Copper peptides for intense hydration and ultimate anti-aging action: Nooance Copper Peptide Serum
- Vitamin C to brighten and even out skin tone and provide antioxidant protection, found for example in the Intense Radiance Cream
- Retinol for a tenfold anti-aging effect
Hyaluronic Acid and LED Mask: the "Beauty Tech" alliance for plumped skin
Nooance-Paris has designed light therapy devices comparable to treatments offered in salons or dermatology clinics. Our expertise in Beauty Tech has enabled us to develop a light therapy mask that diffuses LED light to target signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and loss of firmness.
By applying hyaluronic acid before a session with the ELITE X600 LED Facial Mask , the skin is perfectly hydrated and the light penetrates deeply, more effectively than on dry skin. The results are immediately visible: after the session, the skin is plump and more supple.
FAQ: Everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid
Is hyaluronic acid suitable for oily skin?
Yes, absolutely. It's a non-greasy moisturizer (humectant) ideal for oily skin that's often dehydrated. It hydrates without adding oil and it's non-comedogenic.
Can it be used every day, morning and evening?
Yes, it's a very well-tolerated ingredient, suitable for all skin types. It fits perfectly into a daily routine to maintain optimal hydration levels throughout the day.
At what age should hyaluronic acid treatments be started?
From the age of 25-30 on average, the natural production of hyaluronic acid (as well as collagen and elastin) decreases significantly. To prevent skin dehydration and limit the visible effects of skin aging, it is therefore beneficial to incorporate hyaluronic acid skincare into your beauty routine as early as possible.
