Hyaluronic acid and collagen are very often used in medicine and dermatology. Why? Well, these are ingredients that improve the appearance of the skin. We can even meet them in dietary supplements and skincare cosmetics. Not sure which substance to choose? Read our article!

Both collagen and hyaluronic acid occur naturally in our bodies. Most of them are found in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Collagen is just some kind of scaffold on which cells rest. This substance is responsible for the blood supply and nourishment of the skin. In addition, collagen is responsible for the elasticity of the skin.

Hyaluronic acid is present inside cells, but sometimes it can also be found in the subcutaneous tissue. It does not make the skin elastic but binds water. Several dozen water molecules can adhere to one particle of acid, therefore in its natural form, hyaluronic acid acts as a filler.

Collagen and hyaluronic acid - action

Both collagen and hyaluronic acid work together to ensure the elasticity and filling of the subcutaneous tissue. Thanks to them, the skin looks young, smooth, and supple. Unfortunately, the production of these substances slows down over time and their amount in the body decreases. This is how wrinkles are created and the skin is slack and unsightly. Hyaluronic acid itself is not responsible for the formation of wrinkles, so if you want to look young, collagen supplementation will be a better choice and using hyaluronic acid outside – it is worth reaching e.g. for moisturizing creams with this ingredient.

How to take care of yourself?

Although collagen and hyaluronic acid are substances that are of great importance for your appearance, remember that … they are only substances! How you look and feel is the result of the choices you make every day: what you eat, what you write, how much you sleep, how you move. Ba! Even what exercises you do more often affects the condition of your face. We cannot forget about the influence of stress on our well-being – it accelerates aging! Don’t underestimate it!
