Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, also known as hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, is a small-molecule form of conventional hyaluronic acid. The hydrolysis process splits the hyaluronic acid into smaller fragments, which increases its skin penetration and effectiveness.
How does hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid affect the skin and to what extent does the ingredient help to improve the skin?
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid has an intensive moisturizing effect as it can penetrate deep into the skin and bind water there. This helps to plump the skin from the inside out, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin elasticity. Its small molecule size allows it to penetrate deeper than traditional hyaluronic acid, resulting in improved hydration and plumpness of the skin.

How are extracts of hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid obtained for use in Korean cosmetic products?
It is usually obtained through the process of bacterial fermentation of saccharides, followed by a hydrolysis process in which the hyaluronic acid molecules are broken down into smaller fragments. This method ensures high purity and efficiency of the end product.
Are there any known harmful side effects or other disadvantages for the skin?
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is generally considered safe and well tolerated by the skin
.
However, because it is highly moisturizing, overuse can lead to overhydration in some skin types, which can cause mild discomfort or swelling. Sensitive skin types should test products with this ingredient in small amounts first.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is often combined with other hydration enhancers such as glycerin, ceramides and various forms of hyaluronic acid. It is also a popular ingredient in products containing anti-ageing ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol and peptides, as it supports the efficacy of these ingredients while providing the skin with intense hydration.
