   Skinceuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier is formulated with a high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid (the stuff used in dermal fillers). It has botanical extracts of purple rice and licorice root and the manufacturer claims it’s been clinically proven to restore plumpness, elasticity and firmness to the skin, helping to support the skin’s natural Hyaluronic Acid levels. It should also improve nasolabial folds, marionette lines and crows feet.

   The product come in the usual serum type bottle with the pipette dropper so drops of the product can be applied directly to the face. The consistency is thicker than the usual watery serums and it’s darker in colour and has a naturally sweet smell and taste, (I accidentally licked some of the product on my lips)

   I used it until it ran out, over a number of months and applied it over my Vitamin C Ferulic Serum, I do think it helped make my nasolabial folds less obvious and felt nice on the skin, absorbing well. I haven’t repurchased a new bottle as I decided to try another brand of Hyaluronic Acid, but think I will go back to this as I feel it worked quite well. It’s quite expensive at over £80 a bottle but due to its thicker consistency, lasts quite long.

   i agree with previous reviewer about the amount of alcohol in this. YOU CAN SMELL IT. it’s tacky, and doesn’t seem to absorb. it sits on surface on the skin.

   i was strongly recommended this by a clinic, and totally hates it. there’s better HA out there!

   Really frustrated as I have posted my review on other websites that are authorized retailers of Skinceuticals and they delete my review! I’m sure this is at Skinceuticals’ request. That may explain why there are only positive reviews all over those sites for this serum (and I’ve noticed this for the CE ferulic reviews as well – I come here to makeupalley to get unbiased and undoctored reviews now). I’m posting here since this may help others make a decision with this product. The amount of denatured alcohol in this is crazy! I have dry skin and found this to be more drying over time. Initially I did see a rejuvenative and plumping effect, but after three weeks (using it only once per day over my CE Ferulic) it made my under eye area more dry and my eye and face wrinkles more pronounced. This was the only thing I changed in my regimen. I believe it’s the denatured alcohol in this product that my skin doesn’t agree with, and eventually my skin started to sting slightly after application because of this alcohol. Definitely sample this first!

   I like this serum!

   Pros:
   Comes in dark bottle, protecting it from light.
   Product is very effective- a great, lightweight hydrating serum that sinks in nicely, doesn’t leave any film, and provides an extra oomph of hydration all day.
   Very slightly improves the look of VERY fine lines over the course of a month. It’s barely noticeable, but still, pretty good in general.
   Over time improved the level of hydration in my skin.
   Plays well with other skincare, including moisturizers, oils, and primers.
   Improves texture by smoothing out rough “flakies” I’m prone to get around mouth, chin, nose.

   Cons:
   $$$$$$$$$ It’s pricey, but by damn it works.
   The dropper. I hate the dropper. Every time I open it I cringe. This is thick enough to put in a pump form. I wish that for this price they would but it in better packaging (like Drunk Elephant).
