In an ex-vivo study, the stratum corneum contained five times more water 24 hours after treatment with cross-linked hyaluronic acid compared to the treatment with hyaluronic acid at the same concentration. Figure 1 illustrate the water binding effect of cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan, hyaluronic acid and cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
