Breakthrough Science: Oligo HA

Hyaluronic Acid: Not Just for Moisture

Hyaluronic acid is often linked solely with hydration—but it offers much more. Thomas Kneip and microbiologist Zuzana Jeníková, together with Czech hyaluronic acid manufacturer Contipro, developed Oligo HA, a form of hyaluronic acid smaller than 5kDa—just 0.3% the size of traditional high molecular weight HA. This deep-penetrating molecule stimulates natural HA synthesis and enhance water-binding capacity.

In short, Oligo HA reawakens your skin’s own ability to produce hyaluronic acid, restoring youthful skin from within.

Viscontour science breakthrough

Viscontour® Skincare Backed by World-Class Hyaluronic Acid Expertise

Viscontour® sources its hyaluronic acid from Contipro, a globally recognized Czech company in supplying pharmaceutical-grade HA. With multiple patented technologies in concentration and purification, Contipro ensures precise control over the purity, concentration, and molecular weight of each batch, delivering high-quality, non-GMO, and animal-free hyaluronic acid.     This exceptional raw material forms the scientific foundation of Viscontour® skincare products, supporting their clinically proven and high-performance formulations.

What Sets Oligo HA Apart?

Oligo HA is an oligomeric hyaluronic acid with ultra-low molecular weight <5kDa, among the smallest HA molecules available. Unlike traditional HA that stays on the skin’s surface, Oligo HA penetrates deeply to deliver multiple clinical benefits:

Epidermis – Boosts skin’s natural HA production, improves water-binding capacity by 3x, visibly reduces fine lines

Dermis – Neutralizes TNF-α-induced free radicals (oxidative stress reduced by 37%), inhibits MMPs activity (collagen loss reduced by 29%), and supports extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity via  fibronectin upregulation

4-Tier Hyaluronic Acid System

Viscontour®’s hyaluronic acid serums combine four different molecular sizes for full-spectrum skin hydration and repair:

High Molecular Weight HA (1,500-1,800 kDa) – Forms a moisturizing film on the skin surface

Medium Molecular Weight HA (100–400 kDa) – Penetrates stratum corneum to hydrate and add radiance

Low Molecular Weight HA (37–56 kDa) – Reaches upper dermis to enhance internal water retention and elasticity

Oligo HA (<5 kDa) – Penetrates the deepest layers, stimulates self-production of HA and neutralizes oxidative damage

This multi-layered HA complex delivers long-lasting hydration, anti-aging, and skin barrier restoration.
