Dermatologists are well-aware of the benefits hyaluronic acid has in the human body, but to the everyday person, it probably sounds as safe as battery acid. As part of their "Beauty Glossary" series, the Huffington Post recently ran a piece breaking down the questionable sounding ingredient that graces the packaging of many skin care brands.
Hyaluronic Acid: Natural To The Body
As pointed out by a board-certified dermatologist at New York Dermatology Group Jessica Weiser, who the HuffPo enlisted to help source the piece, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring carbohydrate that is found in the human body.
"It is an important component of the fluids in the eye, in connective tissue and in the skin," Weiser said. "It is important for structural support of collagen and elastin in the skin."
While the hyaluronic acid found in skin products is synthetic or extracted from rooster combs, there is a way to boost a person's natural output of the carbohydrate essential for good skin care, which is something everyone can appreciate considering the average person's skin elasticity declines an estimated 0.55% to 1% each year.
C-Stem Solution
Cosmedical Technologies' unique and serious skin care product, C-Stem, is specifically formulated to help reactivate some of the genes associated with its production.
The reason so many skin care brands find a non-organic skin care solution to add to their products is because it can have such powerful effects.
"When applied topically to the skin, hyaluronic acid holds water to the skin surface to increase hydration of the cells and surface, without occlusion (blockage)," Weiser explained. "This moistens the skin surface to alleviate dryness, facilitate healing and create a protective barrier."
In addition to being a more natural way to increase this important element inside you, scrubbing your face can remove essential oils.
In 2011, the anti-aging industry was worth about $80 billion in the U.S., and in 2014, was estimated to have hit $114 billion. A great way to sell your patients on saving money without sacrificing their skin health is to introduce them to C-Stem.
