HA Intensifier is a triple action corrective hyaluronic acid serum for face. This hydrating serum has a unique formula that combines pure hyaluronic acid with botanical extracts and Proxylane™ to support and hydrate skin. By supplementing the natural production of skin’s hyaluronic acid, this hydrating serum improves the appearance of firmness and plumpness.
When using a hyaluronic acid serum, it is ideal to use it on damp skin as hyaluronic acid is a humectant that tends to attract and retain moisture from its surroundings. It can have adverse effects if applied to completely dry skin, meaning that it may not hydrate skin as expected and may likely lead to skin feeling tight or dry. When using the HA Intensifier Serum, use after a SkinCeuticals Vitamin C serum in your morning routine and before a face moisturiser and sunscreen. Apply 3-4 drops to damp palms or damp skin on the face. Dab gently onto forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck and let it absorb before moving onto the next step. The HA Intensifier Serum can be used twice a day and can be paired with a retinol cream in your night routine.
Should I use the HA Intensifier Serum in the morning or night?
The SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier Serum can be used both in the morning and at night. The benefits of hyaluronic acid range from hydration, anti-ageing, skin elasticity and more. It can be paired with vitamin C in your morning routine and with salicylic acid or retinol at night.
Do you use HA Intensifier Serum before or after retinol?
When using a retinol serum in your routine, it is recommended to layer the hyaluronic acid serum AFTER your retinol serum as this will help lock in moisture. However, if using a retinol cream such as the SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 Anti-Ageing Night Cream, it is recommended to apply the HA Intensifier Serum before the retinol cream, to help create a moisture barrier that helps minimise any potential irritation. This is especially useful if you have sensitive skin and is known as the “sandwich method” when applying retinol.
Do you use the HA Intensifier Serum before or after moisturiser?
Use the HA Intensifier Hyaluronic Acid Serum before applying your moisturiser. Apply the hyaluronic acid serum to damp skin immediately after cleansing and toning and follow with a face moisturiser after, to help seal in the moisture as hyaluronic acid is a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture from its environment. Finish off with broad-spectrum sunscreen such as the Ultra Facial Defense Sunscreen SPF 50+ as a part of your morning skincare routine.
