Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Collagen are vital to maintaining the skin’s layers and structure. It is the collagen that gives the skin its firmness, but it is the HA that nourishes and hydrates the collagen. Collagen is continuously surrounded and nourished by the gelatinous HA substance. Young skin is smooth and highly elastic because it contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, which helps skin stay healthy. Hyaluronic acid acts as a space filler by binding to water and thus keeping the skin wrinkle-free. As we grow older, the levels of HA in our body decrease. The result is that the skin becomes drier and loses its ability to maintain hydration.
The problem with HA is that it has a high molecular weight and it is difficult for a large molecule to penetrate through the stratum corneum and reach the dermis. Therefore, it becomes necessary for cosmetics to contain low-molecular weight HA for effective penetration.

ELIXIR DE JEUNESSE is rich in a very special biotechnological derivative composed of low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid and precursors of Mucopolysaccharides. The very small average molecular weight enhances intra-dermal penetration, even forming a basic raw material for the biosynthesis of physiological medium-weight hyaluronic acid. This hyaluronic acid is especially suitable for water retention in both connective tissue (and thus responsible for a deep moisturization), and in the upper layers of the skin to avoid trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). It helps reepithelization and cicatrization, due to increased blood circulation without vasodilation.
