Active ingredients: Oligo-Hyaluron
OLIGO-HYALURON: THE ALL-ROUNDER FOR A VITAL AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION
Hyaluronic acid is a super active ingredient that should no longer be missing in any facial care routine. It is an integral part of effective anti-aging care and ensures a fresh and radiant complexion, day after day. Numerous skincare products advertise with the active ingredient hyaluronic acid – but what makes it so special and which products are really effective? Here you will learn everything about the super skin hero hyaluronic acid, what to look for when buying skincare products, and why oligo-hyaluronic acid is even better than conventional hyaluronic acid.
THIS IS HOW HYALURON WORKS ON YOUR SKIN
Hyaluronic acid is one of the miracle weapons that counteract the natural skin aging process. The gel-like transparent liquid is originally produced by the body itself and is a component of our connective tissue. The special thing about hyaluronic acid: it can bind large amounts of water and acts like a water reservoir in the skin. The active ingredient absorbs moisture like a sponge and stores it in the skin cells. 1 gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to 6 liters of water.
As you age, the natural amount of hyaluronic acid in the body decreases, and the skin loses moisture and elasticity. The result: the first wrinkles appear. To preserve the youthfulness of your skin and slow down the aging process, it is essential to continuously provide your skin with sufficient moisture. This ensures a healthy and smooth complexion.
Especially the fine lines that appear on dry skin can be effectively treated with hyaluronic acid-containing skincare products. Hyaluronic acid is for good reason an absolute moisture booster, as the water molecules in your skin and on your skin's surface are bound by the active ingredient. By increasing skin moisture, the depth of wrinkles is reduced and your skin remains supple. Although the super active ingredient is primarily used as an anti-aging agent, it also has other positive properties:
- Hyaluronic acid promotes the wound healing process
- Hyaluronic acid improves skin elasticity
- Hyaluronic acid reduces feelings of tightness in skin conditions, such as eczema or neurodermatitis
- Hyaluronic acid helps against skin redness and burns
OLIGO-HYALURON, THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL HYALURON
Hyaluron is not the same as hyaluron. The active ingredient occurs in different forms and is differentiated by molecular size. There is a distinction between high molecular weight and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and oligo-hyaluron. The molecular size varies between 3 and 1,000 kD (dissociation constant). A value of 50 kD cannot penetrate the skin barrier due to its size and therefore only acts on the skin surface. Nano-molecules, on the other hand, which are smaller than 5 kD, also reach the deeper skin layers. This form of the active ingredient is called oligo-hyaluron. It is a basic building block of hyaluronic acid. Due to its molecular structure, it is more effective because it can penetrate deeper into your skin layer and intensely moisturize it from within.
Oligo-Hyaluron is a versatile agent and impresses especially with its anti-aging and moisturizing qualities. It also supports your skin in the following ways:
- Skin barrier protection
- Cell protection
- Skin Metabolism Regulation
- Reduction of uneven pigmentation
- Catching free radicals
To maximize the benefits of the super active ingredient Oligo-Hyaluron, it is crucial to find the right skincare products for your skin and incorporate them into your daily routine. Because Oligo-Hyaluron can penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin, it is particularly effective compared to other types of hyaluronic acid. Similar to most Superkin Heroes, the correct dosage of the active ingredient is also important here. In the products of DOCTOR MI! medical skincare, you will find the evidence-based active ingredient that, thanks to the innovative TECMi!® deep technology, can be delivered into the deeper layers of the skin.
To achieve the best possible results, we answer the most important questions about care with Oligo-Hyaluron-containing products here.
-
Does Oligo-Hyaluron also help with sensitive skin?
Oligo-Hyaluron is an all-rounder and can be used for every skin type. However, pay attention to the dosage of the active ingredient to achieve the best possible care results. Our SERUM with oligo-hyaluronic acid can be used safely on sensitive skin. Thanks to the TECMi!® deep technology, the active ingredient penetrates into your deeper skin layers and supplies your skin with moisture from within. -
Can oligo-hyaluron-containing skincare products be used daily?
Hyaluron is a substance naturally found in the body, present in bones, joints, and also in your skin. Skincare products containing oligo-hyaluron have a more sustainable effect, and you can safely incorporate them into your daily care routine. Make sure that the products are tailored to your skin's needs to achieve optimal results. -
How long does it take for hyaluronic acid to work?
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid only works for a short time but shows an immediate effect. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and oligo-hyaluron can penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin due to their molecular size and provide a sustainable anti-aging effect. Both types of hyaluronic acid are contained in skincare products. Here, some patience is required: after a few weeks, you will see the first results.
THE DIFFERENT FORMS OF HYALURON
There are 3 different forms of hyaluronic acid. They differ in their molecular weight, which affects their impact on your skin. Below you will find an overview of the different types of hyaluronic acid, what characterizes them, and the effect they have on your skin.
1. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid
This hyaluronic acid sits on your skin and, compared to other types of hyaluronic acid, has a significantly larger molecular mass. The molecules are 1,500 kD or larger and cannot penetrate the skin barrier. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a moisturizing film on the surface of your skin and reduces the loss of the skin's own moisture.
2. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid consists of an average molecular mass of 50 kD. Its smaller size allows it to penetrate slightly deeper into your skin and ensures that water is retained in the connective tissue of the skin. Your skin is moisturized from within and helps to achieve a firmer complexion.
3. Oligo-Hyaluron
Oligo-hyaluron is the smallest form of hyaluron and, thanks to its size, can penetrate the deepest layers of the skin. The active ingredient optimally supplies your skin with moisture and also stimulates the body's own hyaluron production. Oligo-hyaluron consists of a molecular mass of 5 kD or less and reaches exactly where it is needed: deep within your skin.
THE RIGHT FORM AND DOSAGE FOR YOUR SKIN
To achieve maximum effect, the appropriate form and dosage are crucial when using hyaluronic acid. With oligo-hyaluron, you can sustainably improve your skin's appearance because the active ingredient penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and optimally hydrates your skin. The active ingredient should be used regularly, and with well-tolerated skincare products, even daily.
