Product DetailsÂ
Simple formulation and a very light-weight clear liquid. Our Hyaluronic acid + 15 glycolic acid serum is carefully formulated with 15% Glycolic acid to deliver the maximum effectiveness. This Hyaluronic acid + 15 glycolic acid serum is water-based, very light-weight and will absorb to your skin in a matter of few seconds. This product is from Elora Clinic Simply Advanced Collection. This collection includes most common and highly beneficial skincare ingredients in a very simple formulation. All the products from this collection are designed to be sutaible for all types of skin. All the formulations are oil-free, water-based and includes less than 5 ingredients in total. Hyaluronic acid + 15 glycolic acid serum is formulated with a combination of hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, two potent ingredients known for their skincare benefits. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in our skin that helps retain moisture, resulting in a hydrated and plump appearance. It also helps to improve the overall texture and elasticity of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. On the other hand, glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin by removing dead cells on the surface. This can help improve skin tone and texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and enhance the absorption of other skincare products. By combining hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid in this serum, Elora Clinic aims to provide a multifunctional product that hydrates and exfoliates the skin simultaneously. However, it is important to note that glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity, so it is crucial to use sunscreen during the day when using products containing this ingredient. As with any skincare product, it is recommended to perform a patch test before applying it to your entire face to ensure compatibility with your skin type. Additionally, if you have any specific concerns or conditions, it is always best to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine if this product is suitable for you. The Elora Clinic Hyaluronic Acid + 15 Glycolic Acid Serum offers numerous benefits for the skin. Here are some key advantages: Hydration: Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, providing deep hydration. This helps to plump up the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Exfoliation: Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. This promotes a smoother and more even complexion, while also reducing the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. Brightening: The exfoliating properties of glycolic acid can help to brighten dull and uneven skin tone. Regular use of this serum may result in a more radiant complexion and a reduction in the appearance of dark spots or sun damage. Collagen production: Both hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid have been shown to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin, so increased production can lead to improved elasticity and a more youthful appearance. Improved texture: By promoting cell turnover, this serum helps to refine the skin’s texture, making it smoother and softer to the touch. It can also assist in minimizing the visibility of pores. Note that while this serum can offer these benefits, individual results may vary. It is always recommended to do a patch test before incorporating any new skincare product into your routine and to consult with a dermatologist if you have any specific concerns.About the product

Skin
-Face skin structure and how it operates
The structure and functioning of the skin on our face play a vital role in protecting and maintaining its health. Here is an overview of the key aspects:
1. Epidermis: The outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, acts as a protective barrier against external factors such as UV radiation, pathogens, and toxins. It consists of several sublayers, including the stratum corneum, responsible for preventing water loss and maintaining hydration.
2. Dermis: Situated beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains collagen and elastin fibers that provide strength and elasticity to the skin. It houses blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that helps moisturize and protect the skin.
3. Hypodermis: Also known as subcutaneous tissue, the hypodermis is located below the dermis and primarily consists of fat cells. It acts as insulation, cushioning, and energy storage for our body.
The skin on our face operates through various mechanisms:
1. Barrier Function: The epidermis forms a physical barrier that prevents harmful substances from entering while retaining moisture within the skin. This barrier function is crucial in maintaining overall skin health.
2. Sebum Production: Sebaceous glands in the dermis produce sebum to lubricate and moisturize the skin. Proper sebum production helps maintain a balanced pH level and prevents excessive dryness or oiliness.
3. Sensation: The facial skin contains numerous nerve endings that enable us to sense touch, temperature, pain, and pressure.
4. Blood Supply: Blood vessels within the dermis supply oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells while removing waste products, promoting cell growth and repair.
-What is skin aging process? when and how does it start?
Skin aging is a natural process that occurs over time as a result of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. It begins at different stages for each individual, but generally starts in the mid-20s to early 30s.
Intrinsic aging, also popular as chronological aging, is influenced by genetic factors and is unavoidable. It involves the gradual decline in the production of collagen and elastin, proteins responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and less resilient.
Extrinsic aging, on the other hand, is caused by external factors such as sun exposure, pollution, smoking, poor nutrition, stress, and lifestyle choices. These factors accelerate the aging process by damaging the skin’s structure and promoting the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. This leads to the development of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, uneven skin tone, and loss of radiance.
It’s important to note that while aging is a natural process, certain preventive measures can slow down its progression. These include adopting a healthy lifestyle, protecting the skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen, maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, managing stress levels, and establishing a regular skincare routine with products targeting specific concerns.
Consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional can provide personalized advice and recommendations based on individual needs and skin type.
-Can you really prevent skin aging by using anti-aging products?
Anti-aging products will target and minimize the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. While they can certainly help improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin, it is important to note that they cannot entirely prevent the natural aging process.
Factors like genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences also play significant roles in skin aging. However, using anti-aging products as part of a comprehensive skincare routine can be beneficial in maintaining a youthful and healthy complexion.
It is crucial to remember that consistent use of sunscreen, a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate hydration, and avoiding harmful habits (such as smoking) are equally important in preserving the youthfulness of the skin.
-How our face skin is different from other part of our body and why ?
Our face skin is different from other parts of our body due to several reasons. Firstly, the skin on our face is typically more sensitive and delicate compared to the skin on other areas. This is because the facial skin is thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dryness and irritation.
Secondly, the facial skin is more exposed to external factors such as sunlight, pollution, and harsh weather conditions. This constant exposure can lead to increased damage and aging effects on the face.
Additionally, the face also has a higher concentration of blood vessels, which can make it more prone to redness and flushing. The facial skin is also more susceptible to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines due to repetitive facial expressions.
Furthermore, our face is often subject to regular cleansing routines, makeup application, and other skincare products, which can further affect its condition.
Overall, these factors contribute to the distinct differences between our face skin and the skin on other parts of our body. It is important to take special care of our facial skin by following a consistent skincare routine and protecting it from environmental stressors.
