Hyaluronic acid cream: small molecule, big effect
Have you ever wondered what's so great about hyaluronic acid cream? Well, hyaluronic acid is a natural component of your body and can bind large amounts of water – 1 gram of hyaluronic acid binds an incredible 6 liters of water! No wonder this naturally occurring acid is such a popular ingredient in creams and serums, as it efficiently helps your skin look smooth and firm. Cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid include both high-molecular-weight (long-chain) and low-molecular-weight (short-chain) hyaluronic acid. The advantage of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (up to 50 kilodaltons [kDa]) is that it penetrates deeper into the skin, plumping it from within. High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (from 1,500 kDa), on the other hand, moisturizes your skin, which, by the way, is made up of a full 70% water, and thus visibly reduces the depth of wrinkles. And because the body's own hyaluronic acid production decreases from around the age of 25, your skin will appreciate some extra love in the form of hyaluronic acid creams and serums in your daily skincare routine. Think: anti-aging. Yeah!
What does your skin need in the morning?
You can start your morning routine by gently preparing your skin for the day's challenges – for example, UV radiation, freezing cold or heat, smog, and last but not least, makeup. The best way to begin your morning routine is with a gentle facial cleanser to awaken your skin and remove excess sebum. Then apply a hydrating serum. Serums with hyaluronic acid give your skin an extra boost of moisture – and ours delivers double the benefits, as our Hyaluron Complex serum contains both low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and works directly in all layers of the epidermis: for instantly plumped and hydrated skin. You can use serums morning and evening. They are easily absorbed by the skin and form the ideal base for your day cream. A light moisturizer like the Day Care Hyaluron Complex from our new natural cosmetics line is a great choice. In our cream, we deliberately use low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which is particularly effective against fine lines caused by dryness. Furthermore, glycerin and nourishing lipids provide your skin with extra moisture and care, strengthening its barrier to protect against environmental stressors and giving it a fresh complexion. Sounds good? Looks even better! And it's the perfect base for your makeup.

Awakened moments despite sensitive eyes?
Was your night shorter than planned again? Unfortunately, the skin around your eyes reveals the effects of insufficient beauty sleep much faster than you'd like. At only about 0.5 mm thick, the skin under your eyes is up to five times thinner than in other areas and particularly sensitive. Dehydration, fine lines, and dark circles appear here quite quickly – and certainly don't help an otherwise even complexion. That's precisely why we developed our Eye Care Hyaluron Complex for you: Its low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid provides your skin with intensive deep hydration and ensures a fresh, firmer eye area. In addition, apricot kernel oil and the beauty algae spirulina care for and nourish this delicate skin. As an extra boost, caffeine and pepper extract gently provide a revitalized feeling and a fresh appearance. Tired eyes? No way!
What does my skin need during the day?
Well-cared-for skin not only looks fantastic, but above all, it performs a crucial task: reliably protecting your body from external influences. It's no wonder, then, that good skincare in the morning is so important. Especially when you're outdoors during the day, your skin has to withstand many challenges. Whether it's sweltering heat, UV radiation, icy temperatures, windy autumn days, smoggy city air, rainy days, or harmful substances – as a protective barrier, your skin is always working hard. To support this barrier, our Day Care Hyaluron Complex contains babassu and jojoba oils as well as vitamin E. It also includes glycerin, which reduces moisture loss, and zinc, which soothes and nourishes the skin. And one more tip: Apply a sunscreen with a high SPF as well. This way, you'll maintain your youthful glow – after all, the sun is a leading cause of premature skin aging.
Good night: This is what your skin needs in the evening
After a long day, all you really want is to get into bed. After all, every minute of sleep counts – especially for beautiful skin. But more on that later. First, you absolutely shouldn't forget to remove your makeup and cleanse your face of all the day's dirt particles. Your skin regenerates while you sleep, and it's essential to create the best possible conditions for this. After cleansing, it's best to apply a rich night cream that powerfully supports your beauty sleep – like our Night Care Hyaluron Complex . Did you know that skin cells renew themselves three times faster at night than during the day? Because your pores open up at night, your skin is even more receptive to the right skincare ingredients. Our cream supports this process with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, which provides your skin with deep hydration and can plump up wrinkles overnight. Evening primrose and safflower oils, collagen, and ceramides support skin renewal while you dream. Now that's sure to help you sleep soundly! And restful sleep is important to prevent wrinkles – and essential for mind and body.
In fact, your skin needs about seven hours to regenerate sufficiently. The deep sleep phase is particularly important: this is when the body releases growth hormones that are essential for promoting cell repair and renewal. So you can definitely take the term "beauty sleep" quite literally.
Understanding your skin's needs isn't always easy. But when you adapt your skincare routine to your skin's natural rhythm and reward it with a combination of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and nutrients, your new routine will quickly become a skin-yeah routine! And once you truly feel comfortable in your own skin, you'll be glowing from ear to ear!
