Hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5: the optimal combination for rejuvenation and restoration of sensitive skin

Aging is a programmed and irreversible process of quantitative and qualitative changes that naturally occur in the body. These include: disruption and slowing down of metabolic processes, disorganization of physiological processes in the cell, gradual accumulation of defects in DNA molecules. All these changes constantly increase and accumulate and ultimately lead the body to death.

Aging can be natural (biological) or premature. In the first case, the skin gradually wastes away due to the natural exhaustion of growth processes, differentiation and loss of cellular and structural components (mitochondria, nuclei, lysosomes and other intracellular structures can gradually be damaged or lose efficiency, leading to a decrease in cell functions, and a decrease in collagen and elastin production affects the structure and elasticity of the skin).

Premature aging occurs mainly due to the constant influence of external (UV radiation, ecology, stress, bad habits, unhealthy diet, etc.) and internal (heredity, chronic diseases, disorders of the immune and hormonal systems) factors. Such changes can manifest themselves even at a very young age.

Age-related changes in the skin are only one of the elements of aging of the body as a whole, but at the same time - one of its most obvious and expressive signs. It manifests itself in a decrease in the softness and elasticity of the skin, an increase in its rigidity, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and color changes, a decrease in its tone, and a weakening of the barrier function.
