Hyaluronic Acid

The molecular weight of our hyaluronic acid ranges from 50 to 2200 kDa.

By choosing a hyaluronic acid supplement with a broad molecular spectrum, you can fully benefit from its moisturizing and plumping properties.

While the smallest molecules (less than 50 kDa) penetrate the skin more easily to hydrate the deep layers, high molecular weight molecules (over 1,000 kDa) form a "protective layer" on the skin's surface, helping to retain water and provide that plumping effect. Medium-weight molecules (between 50 and 1,000 kDa) fall in between: they trigger collagen stimulation in the intermediate layers of the skin, thereby allowing for hydration of these same layers.

The advantage of having a complete molecular spectrum is therefore to benefit from the advantages of each molecule size, thereby promoting better penetration into the different layers of the skin for comprehensive hydration.

ExceptionHYAL® Star is a cutting-edge hyaluronic acid production technology. This active ingredient is manufactured through the fermentation of specific bacterial strains that naturally produce hyaluronic acid. The product is then purified to remove impurities and obtain a pure, natural form of hyaluronic acid.

In addition to offering a natural, stable, highly pure, and vegan hyaluronic acid, this production method is also environmentally friendly because it does not require the use of toxic chemicals or animal-derived ingredients.

Yes, that is exactly the choice we made for our hyaluronic acid capsules. Hyaluronic acid works on skin hydration and elasticity, while Quali®-C vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation. It is a complementary combination rather than a simple juxtaposition of two active ingredients.

Yes. Our ExceptionHYAL® Star hyaluronic acid is obtained through bio-fermentation, rather than animal extraction (unlike some historical sources, such as rooster combs). The capsule shell is plant-based, and the entire formula is free from GMOs and additives.

Hyaluronic acid offers a multitude of benefits for the skin, contributing to its hydration, firmness, and overall appearance.

• Skin regeneration : Due to its moisturizing properties, it stimulates tissue and skin regeneration. This characteristic can be particularly important when it comes to promoting healthy skin after it has been stressed.
• Barrier effect : It nourishes and strengthens the skin's hydrolipidic film, which creates a natural barrier against external agents, including UV rays.
• Plumping effect : With its moisturizing and anti-aging action, hyaluronic acid helps to plump up emerging wrinkles on the most sensitive areas, particularly on the face, the eye contour area…
• Water retention : The formation of a film on the skin's surface by hyaluronic acid acts as a protective barrier, preventing water loss through evaporation, thus preserving the skin's suppleness and elasticity.

According to a study conducted by ROELMI HPC, oral intake of 200 mg of ExceptionHYAL® Star hyaluronic acid for 28 days allows for:

• a 17.6% decrease in marked wrinkles;
• an 18.8% decrease in deep wrinkles;
• a 10.6% increase in skin hydration;
• a 3.9% reduction in skin moisture loss;
• a 5.1% increase in skin firmness;
• a 3.8% increase in skin elasticity;
• a 40.3% increase in endogenous hyaluronic acid synthesis.

Yes, taking hyaluronic acid can truly help you limit the appearance of signs of aging by keeping your skin hydrated and supple over time.

As we age, our natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, which promotes the appearance of wrinkles and skin thinning. By supplementing this production, you give your skin a real boost to support its appearance in the long term.

The two approaches are different yet complementary. Creams act on the surface, directly on the skin, and offer an immediate moisturizing and plumping effect. In contrast, a dietary supplement acts from within (and over the long term) on the entire body to support skin hydration and firmness.

Good news : hyaluronic acid capsules are generally well tolerated, even at the dosages studied (100 to 240 mg per day). Some people may experience mild digestive discomfort at the very beginning of the course, but it remains transient.

As a precaution, we advise against this supplement for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and reserve it for adults. If you are undergoing medical treatment or have a chronic condition, we invite you to seek your doctor's advice before starting.
