Hyaluronic acid is a common ingredient in high-end skin care products and injectables used to fill facial wrinkles. This is because it helps drive the production of collagen and is a critical component of the dermal collagen matrix. Though it cannot penetrate the skin’s surface, it is a very effective topical moisturizer with the ability to hold 100 times its weight in water and relieve eczema, redness, dryness, and inflammation.

Today, I learned that human semen is 95 percent hyaluronic acid.
