What It Does

At its core, this serum is designed to boost hyaluronic acid (HA) levels, helping skin look plumper, firmer, and more radiant. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the skin but depletes with age. The Multi-Glycan formula not only replenishes HA but also stimulates your skin to produce more of it naturally.

Key Ingredients

• 12% Proxylane™ – Supports skin structure for improved elasticity.
• 1.3% Hyaluronic Acid – Attracts and retains moisture to boost hydration.
• 2% Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract – A post-biotic that encourages skin’s glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production, contributing to visible volume.
• Licorice Root and Purple Rice Extracts – Help preserve hyaluronic acid levels and soothe the skin.

Results You Can See

According to clinical studies, users noticed smoother, more radiant skin in just 15 minutes. Over 12 weeks, the serum helped reduce fine lines by 24% and increased skin’s HA levels by 30%. These impressive stats show why it’s gaining buzz in the skincare world.

How to Use It

Apply 4 to 6 drops of the serum to your face, neck, and chest twice daily—once in the morning after your antioxidant serum, and once at night before your moisturizer. The silky, lightweight gel sinks in quickly and layers beautifully with other products.

Final Thoughts

SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan is a high-performance serum that delivers real results. With its science-backed ingredients and visible improvements in hydration and volume, it is a must-try for anyone serious about long-term skin health and glow. I instantly remember my skin feeling so comfortable and fresh after applying the serum. The HA intensifier serum has become a staple in my skincare routine, and I use it every day without exception. My skin is much softer, my pores are tighter, and the overall texture is much smoother. I love this serum under my makeup as it has a quick penetrating action.

For eyecare, I loved the results from Skinceuticals A.G.E Advanced Eye Cream (review here).

• Lastly, Lactic Acid: AHA that perfects the skin's appearance by smoothing out the texture.

My Review

After recently discovering their retinol-based serum (review here) and the Optimising Mask (review here), I was curious to try more. These serums are an investment, but when it comes to getting rapid and visible results, they are not a letdown.

The hyaluronic serum has a nonsticky texture that instantly comforts the skin. Above all, it is suitable for morning and evening use. Also, it can be layered under the other serums. The serum has highly improved my skin texture and elasticity. My jawline is firmer.

I recommend this to all skin types that need a boost in hydration. The serum is at the base of forming a good skincare routine and should be noticed. Also, I love to combine serums for global action.

Although I didn't have deep wrinkles, this hydrating treatment helped smooth out my expression wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet and lion wrinkle) and forehead. It is suitable for all ages and can prevent or correct dehydration and signs of aging.

The definitive hyaluronic serum is a hydrophile product. Therefore, it may not mix well with products containing high silicone, dimethicone, or oil concentrations.

The Hydrating B5 Gel

A serum for hydrating as well as providing a radiant finish to your skin.

Key ingredients

• Hyaluronic acid naturally hydrates the skin and softens its texture.
• Vitamin B5 boosts the natural repair process of the skin barrier.

Benefits

• Suitable for all skin types.
• Delivers hydration to the skin.
• Does not clog pores.
• Smooths the texture of the skin.
• Does not contain alcohol, parabens or artificial fragrance.
• Repairs moisture barrier.

My Experience

I have a combination type of skin but in winter it behaves more like dry skin. I usually don't face any issues during summer but with colder weather, my skin gets more prone to acne breakouts. Also, I can't use the products I use in summer during winter. I have tried the products that claim to be best for colder weather but they are too thick to absorb properly in the skin and they make my skin feel sticky. My skin tends to get dull so I have to keep it moisturized all the time. I have larger pores so if I use the wrong product, it gets clogged in my pores and keeps causing breakouts repeatedly.

I used Hydrating B5 Gel day and night as it's so lightweight and has great coverage so even a small amount covers a good amount of area of the skin. After using it for about three weeks, I felt my skin was softer and radiant. The best part about the serum is that the hydration effect does not wear off but stays throughout the day and after using it for a while, it improves the moisture retention ability of the skin. It even helped with decreasing the appearance of pores on my skin. Silymarin CF and Hydrating B5 Gel are staples in my skincare routine.
