I've been using the Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan for a while now, and I must say, this serum has exceeded all my expectations. It’s designed to amplify your skin's natural hyaluronic acid levels by up to 30%, and it has really transformed the hydration and texture of my skin. Unlike many other hyaluronic acid serums, this one contains Proxylane™, liquorice root extract, and purple rice extract, which work together to replenish moisture and skin elasticity.
What I love most is how it pairs perfectly with my prescription retinol- Tretinoin. Retinol can be drying and that issue is only multiplied by the strength of prescription retinoids, but this serum combats that, giving me a hydrated, plump, and smoother complexion every morning. The lightweight formula penetrates deeply, and I’ve already noticed my skin feels more plump and firm—especially along my facial contours. In fact my oily t zone is noticeably hydrated, plumped and replenished but yet not oily both visually and to the touch
Clinical studies back this up, showing a 23% improvement in plumpness, 13% boost in elasticity, and 18% reduction in texture over 12 weeks of use. Plus, it’s free from parabens, dyes, and fragrance, making it suitable for even sensitive skin. Honestly, my tiny 4ml sample has done wonders, so I can only imagine the full-sized bottle’s long-term effects!
If you’re looking for something that deeply hydrates, visibly smooths fine lines, and complements active ingredients like retinoids, this could be your new holy grail.
