The positive effects of estrogens on the water content of the skin, that were observed in all patients, may be due to dermal and epidermal components. The estrogen-stimulated increases of acid mucopolysaccharides and of hyaluronic acid contribute to an increase water content in the dermis. The increased epidermal water content may be due to increased epidermal skin thickness with subsequently elevated amounts of a natural moisturizing factor.
