HYA-ACT™: The Ultimate Beauty Boost*
No ingredient has taken the world of
skincare by storm quite like hyaluronic acid has in recent years. A firm favorite in injectable skincare treatments for some time- now, from serums to moisturizers, its hydration and volumizing benefits are highly sought after in
topical treatments too.
Hyaluronic acid, also referred to in skincare as hyaluronate or HA, is a water-loving
polysaccharide already present in the skin. With age, hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases quite sharply, resulting in a loss of hydration, volume and plumpness.
Lines and wrinkles also appear, and skin is left looking dull and lackluster. Usually, when hyaluronic acid is added to skincare products, its humectant properties draw moisture into the skin, helping to combat dryness and dullness.
What many people don’t realize is that hyaluronic acid comes in various molecular sizes. Larger molecules stay on the surface and give the skin a ‘dewy’ look, while smaller molecules penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver their hydration benefits1.
DSM has been exploring the beauty potential of hyaluronic acid in personal care since 1978. Its new product line, HYA-ACT™, is a powerhouse of various hyaluronic acid forms:
• HYA-ACT™ M (Medium Molecular Weight of 1.0-1.3 MDa) provides immediate hydration and strengthens the skin barrier.
• HYA-ACT™ S (Small Molecular Weight of 200-400 KDa) locks in moisture for an even greater hydration boost and calms reddened skin.
• HYA-ACT™ XS (Very Small Molecular Weight of 37-56 KDa) retains moisture from the inside and plumps out fine wrinkles.
HYA-ACT™ M, HYA-ACT™ S ve HYA-ACT™ XS are also 100% natural origin, Halal certified and Microbiomefriendly2.
