I have been interested in sampling various moisturizing oils and serums lately because I feel that they have a stronger hydrating effect over regular lotions. I recently had the opportunity to try a sample of SkinMedica's Hydrating Complex, which is a new product they released this year.
SkinMedica Aesthetics has multiple lines of skin care products that focus on “the science of the skin’s own healing abilities” to promote good personal skin care routines. They strive to use the best scientifically advanced ingredients to reduce signs of aging and develop healthy skin. They are most well-known for their celeb-favorite TNS (Tissue Nutrient Solution) line.
The Hydrating Complex is a hyaluronic acid rich serum that is added to your regular daily moisturizer to enhance your moisturizing benefits. I was excited to do a little background research to figure out what hyaluronic acid is all about!
Hyaluronic acid has been a hot ingredient in skin care products lately because of its connection to long life spans. Connie Chung did an investigative news story in 2000 about a Japanese village called Yuzurihara that became known as “the village of long life.” The agelessness of these Japanese villagers became attributed to the large amount of hyaluronic acid in their diet. Hyaluronic acid is a water-gelling molecule that cushions and lubricates in connective tissue. When used as a topical serum, it is intended to help maintain skin elasticity.
The SkinMedica Hydrating Complex is great because it allows you to add to the moisturizer that you are already using. You apply the serum after applying your moisturizer and you get the added hyaluronic benefits. I have only been using it for a couple days so I can’t attest to its ability to give me a more youthful appearance, but I do love how it adds more nutrients to my regular skin care routine.
The SkinMedica Hydrating Complex is available online at SkinMedica for $80. You can visit the SkinMedica to find out more about their full selection of products.
