We’ve all been told that a primary key to beautiful, healthy skin is to “moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!” Truth be told, it’s not moisturization that truly makes a difference, but hydration. That’s exactly what you’ll get with SkinMedica’s new HA⁵ Rejuvenating Hydrator.

Simply put, moisturization is the process of making skin FEEL hydrated, while hydration results in an actual increase in the water level in the skin. That’s what truly helps to keep skin plump, firm and smooth, combating the signs of aging.

In this amazing serum’s name, HA stands for hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring, gel-like fluid in the skin that serves to lubricate the body’s tissue and bind cells together. The 5 refers to the serum’s proprietary mix of five HA forms proven to best smooth the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These include:

1. Time Release HA, a proprietary ingredient that ensures sustained release of hyaluronic acid throughout the day;
2. Sodium Hyaluronate for immediate hydration;
3. Uncross-Linked HA for smoothness and hydration;
4. Nano HA for further smoothing of the skin;
5. Cross-Linked HA for for long-lasting hydration of the skin that continues for up to eight hours.

SkinMedica’s HA⁵ works by supporting your skin’s natural ability to replenish its own hyaluronic acid throughout the day, holding in moisture and boosting the skin’s resiliency. That’s critical because as we age, our bodies’ ability to produce hyaluronic acid diminishes. In fact, during your 40s, your skin will have lost half of the HA it held at age 20.
