SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier

SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier is a multi-functional corrective serum clinically proven to amplify the skin’s own hyaluronic acid levels by 30%. Unlike standard hyaluronic acid serums that simply deposit moisture on the skin’s surface, H.A. Intensifier goes further — combining 1.3% pure hyaluronic acid with 10% Proxylane™ and a synergistic blend of licorice root and purple rice extracts to actively support the skin’s internal hyaluronic acid production and preservation mechanisms. The result is visibly firmer, smoother, and more plump-looking skin with long-lasting surface hydration.

With a unique serum-gel texture that creates a smooth canvas on the skin, H.A. Intensifier layers seamlessly within any skincare regimen and is suitable for all skin types. It can also be used as part of a home skincare routine after dermal filler treatments to help maintain and extend results — always consult with your physician for individual at-home advice. Available in a 15ml travel size and full-size 30ml.

Skin Types

Suitable for all skin types including dry, normal, oily, combination, and sensitive. Particularly beneficial for those experiencing visible signs of dehydration and aging such as loss of facial plumpness, reduced firmness, rough texture, and the appearance of fine lines and deeper folds.

Key Ingredients

• 10% Proxylane™ — A patented active derived from beech tree wood that supports the skin’s hyaluronic acid levels by stimulating the production of glycosaminoglycans — the structural molecules responsible for maintaining skin volume, firmness, and hydration. Proxylane™ works at a deeper level than surface-applied hyaluronic acid, helping to restore the skin’s own capacity to retain moisture and maintain structural integrity.
• 2.0% Licorice Root Extract (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate) + 0.2% Purple Rice Extract — A synergistic botanical duo that works together to help preserve hyaluronic acid content within the skin. Licorice root extract provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support, while purple rice extract — rich in anthocyanins — helps protect hyaluronic acid from degradation, extending its presence and effectiveness in the skin.
• 1.3% Hyaluronic Acid — A powerful natural humectant that attracts and retains water molecules at the skin’s surface, delivering immediate plumping and long-lasting hydration. While hyaluronic acid molecules are too large for deep skin penetration on their own, their surface-hydrating action complements the deeper work of Proxylane™ for a comprehensive, multi-level approach to skin hydration and volume.

The Science Behind It

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that plays a critical role in maintaining moisture, volume, and structural support. However, it has a remarkably short lifecycle — 30–50% of the skin’s hyaluronic acid degrades every 24 hours. With age, the skin’s ability to replenish this loss declines significantly: production begins to decrease in the 20s and accelerates in the 40s. This combination of rapid degradation and reduced production contributes directly to visible signs of aging, including decreased firmness, loss of facial plumpness, and rougher skin texture.

Standard hyaluronic acid serums address only the surface layer of this problem. H.A. Intensifier takes a more comprehensive approach — combining surface-hydrating hyaluronic acid with Proxylane™ to stimulate the skin’s own glycosaminoglycan production, and licorice root and purple rice extracts to slow the degradation of existing hyaluronic acid. Together, these three mechanisms work synergistically to amplify and preserve the skin’s hyaluronic acid levels from multiple angles, delivering results that go beyond what topical hydration alone can achieve.

How to Use

Apply 4–6 drops to the palm of the hand and dab onto the forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck once or twice daily. Blend gently into skin until fully absorbed. In the morning, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum sunscreen. In the evening, if using a retinol treatment, apply H.A. Intensifier after retinol application. For post-filler home care, follow your physician’s specific protocol and timing recommendations.
