HMW Hyaluronic acid is produced by fermentation of Streptococcus equi zooepidemicus. Hyaluronic acid influences internal processes taking place in the skin in two ways. The first mechanism is the formation of a film on the skin’s surface, a product of the physico-chemical properties of hyaluronan. This film hydrates the surface of the skin and prevents water loss. Hyaluronic acid can have a bearing on the texture of the skin mainly because of its ability to form a hydrating surface film on the skin, which reaffirms the strong links between the individual signs of aging and trans-epidermal water loss. Hyaluronic acid also has soothing effects on the skin, prompted by the creation of a cool surface film and by the modulation of the environment for skin cells. MW>1.3 – 1.8 MDa.
