Why SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier is the gold standard for youthful skin

If you're a skin care enthusiast, chances are you've probably heard of hyaluronic acid at one point or another. If you don't know exactly what it is, certified dermatologist and Skincare.com consultant Lisa Jinn, MD, says it's known to attract water like a magnet. “HA molecules act like sponges that draw in water to draw moisture onto your skin like a blanket.” While our bodies naturally produce it, HA production slows down as we age, so incorporating it into our skin care routine is key to providing the skin with the moisture it needs. Hyaluronic acid is the gold standard when trying to keep skin hydrated, plump and youthful, and thankfully there is no shortage of HA products on the market. Enter: SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier. When we received a free sample for the purposes of this review, we couldn't wait to try it out. Find out everything you need to know about the serum, including one editor's thoughts, up front. 

Benefits of SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier

SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier boasts an impressive array of ingredients. In addition to hyaluronic acid, the formula also includes Proxylan and Purple Rice Extract to maintain and increase skin's hyaluronic acid levels by 30% for long-lasting hydration. It also improves the appearance of skin texture and promotes fullness, elasticity, smoothness and firmness. After each use, you'll find that the formula reduces the appearance of three major signs of aging such as crow's feet, laugh lines and chin lines. The product also does not contain parabens, dyes and is recommended for all skin types, including those with very sensitive skin. 

How to use SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier

The serum comes in a glass bottle with a dropper to control the amount. Squeeze a pear twice a day to squeeze out the product and then apply four to six drops to the face, spreading over the neck and chest. In the morning, you'll want to apply it before your vitamin C serum. In the evening, you'll want to apply it after your retinol.   

Our Hyaluronic Acid Booster Review SkinCeuticals 

When I opened the serum, the first thing I noticed was its color. It's the gorgeous shade of purple (thanks to purple rice extract) that you'd expect to see in a tube of lipstick, but not necessarily in a skincare serum. At first, the product was more like a light gel, but when I applied it to my skin, I found that it spreads like water. The purple texture absorbed into my skin and my face instantly felt hydrated and plumped. The feeling of dryness, tightness of the skin immediately smoothed out, and I was immediately hooked after the first application. After incorporating the serum into my routine for about six weeks, I started noticing a more even skin texture, a more hydrated look, and my fine lines even became less common. Since adding SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier to my skincare routine, I feel like my skin has never felt healthier or looked younger, and I am forever grateful for that. I highly recommend trying this product - you won't want to miss it.
