The two stars launched a lip peeling that caused a stir, after a debate over the right of first refusal on the product • We examined another aspect: hyaluronic acid in a washed product?
Aline Cohen and Moore Maman released a new product that looked the same, a lip peel, which caused a stir on the Internet - and a discussion that focused on which of them thought first about the product, and who imitated the second.
Moore Maman and Elin Cohen advertise the same product
The product boasts that it makes the lips soft, delicate and happy (or something like that), and the two stars mention in their video that of course it has hyaluronic acid, which is known to be magical and inserted into almost every cosmetic product, when in fact most people who buy it have no idea what it does. Ask them about the benefits that can be found in this acid, they will assure you that it smoothes wrinkles, puts glow into the skin, puffs, vacuums and sets a corona vaccine in your place.
In practice this is not really the case, especially when it comes to skin application and not injection.
"Hyaluronic acid is one of the most important components in our skin," explains Dr. Monica Elman, a dermatologist and owner of a chain of clinics that bears her name, "it is part of the infrastructure that gives us elasticity, brightness and moisture in the skin, and contains sugars, collagen and proteins.
Hyaluronic acid begins to dissipate from our body from the age of 20, and there are various factors like sun, air pollution, smoking, which help the acid to break down faster.
There are not enough controlled studies to know its true impact.
They did a lot of PR and put emphasis on it, "explains Dr. Elman," but it should be understood that wrinkles are not filled with cream that has hyaluronic acid, it can at most give the skin more lightness and elasticity, moisture, it acts as a 'sponge' that fills wrinkles only when It is given by injection. "
And what about products like lip peels, skin cleansers and washable products that contain hyaluronic acid?
According to the doctor, this is just a gimmick. "Once you put hyaluronic acid in a soap or washed lip peel, it has no value because it is not absorbed by the body.
"Our skin is a semi-penetrating tissue, you can't put everything you want into the skin, only certain molecules under certain conditions can cause it."
So yes, you heard right.
There is no benefit in introducing hyaluronic acid into products that are washed off the skin, and this is just a marketing gimmick.
For your consideration, next time you see "Contains Hyaluronic Acid !!!"
