Easy-to-use and fast-appearing hyaluronic acid serums are increasingly finding their users.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is one of the components of all human fluids and cartilage. In addition, it is also a component of the epidermis. The gaps between the connective tissue are filled with hyaluronic acid.
With age, it becomes less and less in the human body, and the skin loses more and more moisture. Because of this, in people of age, the oval of the face becomes less clear, and the skin is flabby.
Using hyaluronic acid
With the help of serum, wrinkles disappear, the skin is saturated with moisture, it becomes radiant. There is also a slight tightening effect. The skin in general begins to look much younger.
The rejuvenating effect of serums with hyaluronic acid is based on the ability to penetrate it under the human skin. There it occupies hollow areas, does not allow moisture to leave the body. Based on this, wrinkles are filledfrom the inside, and the epidermis is tightened. The skin is restored. The water balance is balanced. The epidermis is saturated with moisture. That is why hyaluronic acid serum is so popular among the fair half of humanity.
Rules for the use of hyaluronic serum
Hyaluronic acid is a versatile biocompatible ingredient in many cosmetics.
Hyaluronic Acid Serum Options:
- Separate humidifier. Pure hyaluronic acid is mixed with distilled water. As a result, a gel is formed, which is applied to the skin of the face, neck and chest area. The gel forms a film that moisturizes the skin.
- Serum for creams. A facial serum with hyaluronic acid is added to your usual cream. This method of using hyaluronic acid is very convenient and does not take much time. To make the effect stronger, it must be added not to a jar of cream, but to a single dose. You can squeeze the cream into the palm of your hand and a couple of drops of serum there, gently mix with your fingers and rub into the skin.
- Eye Serum. It is used as a separate remedy, that is, a couple of drops are applied to each eyelid and gently rubbed.
- Serum before cream application. In the morning and evening, a few drops of it are applied to thoroughly cleansed skin. Serum penetrates the epidermis, fills wrinkles. After soaking it on the facecream is driven in with flapping movements. To enhance the effect, the use of a product with hyaluronic acid is allowed. It is better if the cream and serum are from the same series.
- Together with facial tonic. In tandem with the tonic, hyaluronic acid will enhance its moisturizing properties. The serum is mixed with a cosmetic product and the skin is wiped with this resulting solution.
- Hair Serum. Moisturize and smooth the split ends of the hair can be a mixture of serum with hyaluronic acid combined with burdock or castor oil. A few drops added to shampoo, hair mask or hair conditioner will increase their nutritional properties.

For the face of a young girl, hyaluronic acid serum is not needed. The age limit of the beginning of the use of hyaluronic acid is thirty years. But since hyaluronic acid is multifunctional, in some cases it can still be used by young people, for example, for hair.
In winter, apply serum to the skin should be strictly one hour before going outside. Such a rule is based on its physical properties. Serum base crystallizes in the cold.
These funds are applied by the course. On average, you need to go through three of them per year. The duration of one course is equal to two weeks. But the exact duration is determined in each case individually, depending on the condition of the skin.
Composition of serum with hyaluronic acid
Whey is most often water-based. Therefore, its main components are water and hyaluronic acid. Then in the composition are moisturizers, various vitamins, stabilizers, thickeners and so on.
A hyaluronic acid serum has more benefits than a cream. This is due to its higher concentration. The effect of the serum on the skin is faster and much more effective.
The benefits of serums
Hyaluronic serum, unlike cream, is absorbed faster and deeper, penetrates the skin. Thus, serums give faster and more effective results.
An excellent barrier to sunlight are serums with hyaluronic acid. The price for it is certainly higher than for a tanning agent. But after all, the skin is protected not only from photoaging, but at the same time it is nourished from the inside.
Serums are very economical due to the high concentration of hyaluronic acid in them. It only takes a couple of drops to use once. Using more than indicated does not make sense, since the serum simply does not have time to be absorbed and will be wasted.
What are serums?
Hyaluronic acid serums divided:
- Depending on the basis. Serums with hyaluronic acid are made on the basis of oil and water. In the autumn-spring period, cosmetologists recommend using a water-based product, and in winter, due to cold weather and lack of skin nutrition, an oily serum with hyaluronic acid.
- According to the pH level. From pH toserum depends on the area of the skin on which it will be applied. So, serum around the eyes with hyaluronic acid is strictly prohibited to use for facial skin. And, accordingly, vice versa.
- According to age. The percentage of hyaluronic acid in the serum depends on the age category for which it is to be used. Accordingly, the older the woman's age, the more hyaluronic acid should be present in the composition.
Hyaluronic acid exposure levels. Serum "Libriderm" with hyaluronic acid
All hyaluronic acid is divided into two types depending on the level of exposure.
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which penetrates deep into the skin and acts from within.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid - remains outside and covers the skin with an imperceptible human barrier that does not allow moisture to leave the skin.

Manufacturers of this product claim that when using this product, you will be able to restore the skin, moisturize and generally improve its appearance.
About the serum-activator "Libriderm" reviews are mostly positive. What does it say about its effectiveness in skin care and restoration.
Cosmetic procedures with hyaluron in beauty salons
In modern cosmetology, there are several basic procedures based on serum with hyaluronic acid:
- Mesotherapy. This cosmetic procedure has the following sequence - a gel is injected into a predetermined place under the skin. There it is located in empty spaces. This gel with hyaluronic acid becomes a barrier to the removal of moisture from the skin. Also, the injected filler fills the place under the wrinkle, which naturally smoothes it. After the introduction of the gel, the skin remains moisturized and elastic for a period of about a year. The disadvantage of this procedure is painful injections.
- Biorevitalization. In general, it is similar to mesotherapy. The main difference between these two salon procedures is the substance that is injected under the skin. During biorevitalization, almost pure hyaluronic acid is introduced into the layers of the epidermis. In composition, it is as close as possible to that produced in the human body. The injected serum activates the production of its own hyaluron. That is why the effect of such injections persists for a longer period.
- Plasty of facial contours is the transformation of the cheekbones, lips, chin, nasolabial and labio-chin folds through the introduction of hyaluronic acid. In fact, the procedure is complex and requires maximum accuracy from a specialist. They are carried out only in specialized cosmetology clinics. Before starting the procedure, be sure todo an allergy test. During the injection, hyaluronic acid should be delivered gradually and in small amounts. The effect of the procedure is short-term, about six months.
- Reinforcement. A well-known cosmetic procedure based on gold threads. Reinforcement with hyaluronic acid has recently appeared on the list of possible procedures in a few beauty salons. Before injections, a face plan is drawn up in advance. Then, based on it, fillers are introduced. The injections are painful, and painkillers are often used before the procedure. Getting into the layers of the epidermis, the serum simultaneously moisturizes the skin and forces the body to independently produce collagen and elastin.
Cosmetic procedures are much more effective than creams, lotions and serum with hyaluronic acid. The price, of course, for these procedures is higher than cosmetics sold in stores.
Only a qualified person can perform the procedures correctly. Be sure to study all the pros and cons before injections and consult a doctor.
