L’acide hyaluronique est devenu un acteur et composant majeur dans l’industrie de la beauté et de la cosmétique, grâce à ses propriétés uniques qui contribuent à l’hydratation de la peau et à la correction des imperfections cutanées.
Dans cet article, nous explorerons les bienfaits de l’acide hyaluronique en mettant l’accent sur son rôle crucial dans le maintien d’une peau hydratée et dans l’amélioration de son grain.
What exactly is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the human body (yes, yes!), found in large quantities in the skin, joints and eyes. It belongs to the glycosaminoglycan family, which are essential components of connective tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a voluminous, viscous molecule with the particular ability to retain large quantities of water, up to a thousand times its own weight. This ability to retain water makes it a key element in the hydration and lubrication of our tissues.
Hyaluronic acid benefits !
1. Skin hydration
- Hyaluronic acid is often dubbed the “water magnet” of the skin, due to its exceptional ability to retain moisture. This molecule, naturally present in the skin, has the ability to attract and retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. As a result, when applied to the skin, whether as a cream, serum or injection, it acts as a reservoir of moisture.
- Deep hydration: Hyaluronic acid penetrates deep into the skin, providing deep hydration. This contributes to suppler, smoother skin that’s less prone to dryness.
- Reinforced skin barrier: By maintaining an optimal moisture balance, hyaluronic acid reinforces the skin barrier, helping to protect skin against external aggressors such as pollution and free radicals.
- Natural radiance: Well-moisturized skin tends to appear more radiant, contributing to a younger, healthier appearance.
2. Correction of imperfections
In addition to its major role in skin hydration, hyaluronic acid is also used to correct various skin imperfections. Let’s take a closer look:
- Wrinkles and fine lines: Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly used to fill wrinkles and fine lines. Acting as a dermal filler, it smoothes the skin’s surface, giving a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. But beware, the effect is temporary (a few months).
- Volume and definition: Hyaluronic acid is also used to increase the volume of certain areas of the face, such as the lips, cheekbones and chin. This helps redefine facial contours in a natural way. It is also used by some doctors on men who wish to achieve the famous square jaw (jaw line).
How often should I apply?
The frequency of application of hyaluronic acid products can vary according to specific use, product type, hyaluronic acid concentration, and your skin’s individual needs. Here are some general guidelines:
1. Topical skin care (creams, serums)
- For daily care products containing hyaluronic acid, application can be daily, morning and evening. However, it is important to follow the product instructions, as the concentration of hyaluronic acid may vary.
- If your skin is particularly dry or dehydrated, you may opt for products containing more concentrated hyaluronic acid, to be used according to your needs.

2. Hyaluronic acid injections
- Hyaluronic acid injections are generally performed by a health or beauty professional and can last from several months to a year, depending on the product used.
- The frequency of injections depends on the treatment objective. For example, if you’re using hyaluronic acid to fill in wrinkles, you may need touch-ups every 6 to 12 months.
3. Specific masks and treatments
Specific hyaluronic acid masks and treatments can be used once or twice a week or as recommended by the manufacturer, so take the time to read the product instructions.
