Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide present in the skin, connective tissue, vitreous humor and synovial fluid. It is essential for tissue hydration and functions to regenerate skin post injury or wounds. Hyaluronic acid, apart from having dermatologic and ophthalmologic applications, serves as a drug delivery vehicle. Hyaluronic acid also exhibits antioxidant and antiglycation properties.
