Until the age of 40, the body loses half of its collagen resources.

In the water environment, acid molecules increase their volume a thousand times, one acid molecule can absorb about 250 water molecules. Included in the cosmetics is a guarantee of well-moisturized skin. By binding with water, it fills the intercellular space, which smoothes the skin, tightens it and prevents the formation of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid works well with collagen, keeps collagen fibers in good condition, surrounds them, moisturizes and nourishes.
