Traditional Use
Hyaluronic acid was discovered in 1934 and recognized for its extraordinary moisture-binding capacity; it occurs naturally in skin and connective tissue. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid (lower molecular weight forms) was developed in the 1990s-2000s to create variants with different molecular weights for varying degrees of skin penetration.
