It's no secret that even in the pharmacy chain, not all cosmetic products are of high quality. Choosing the right tool, pay attention to its percentage.

Specialists-cosmetologists recommend to choose means with its daily part of application not less than 150 mg. Such concentration does not cause fast addiction, but the effect will be very noticeable. This justifies the high cost of such drugs. Today pharmacy cosmetics containing hyaluronic acid are produced by many manufacturers, but it is better to buy products of world famous brands such as OLAY, La Rochy Posay, Lancome, Estee Lauder.
