You have hyaluronic acid throughout your body right now.

Hyaluronic acid or ‘HA’ is a component of the skin that is made naturally by the body.

HA is a naturally occurring polysaccharide and is known for its superb capacity to retain moisture.

An abundance of HA resides in the spaces between the skin cells, where it contributes to the plumpness, moistness, firmness, and suppleness of the skin.

Large amounts of HA is produced in the skin, but its levels dwindle as a person ages.

Hyaluronic acid is the basis for many cosmetic fillers such as for the lips and cheeks due to its volumising effect.
