Hyaluronic acid, already well established in skincare routines and aesthetic treatments, continues to gain popularity. Used not only for its hydrating and volumizing properties but also for its role in skin rejuvenation — particularly in the Skin Restore and Skin Prevent protocols — hyaluronic acid now comes in various forms : skincare products, injectables, and dietary supplements. This article explores the five most in-demand hyaluronic acid–based products, analyzing why they attract so much interest and how they meet patients’ needs.
Dermal injections : why are they still so popular ? Hyaluronic acid injections remain the number one choice for treating the signs of aging. These injections are no longer limited to simply filling wrinkles — they are used to reshape the face, restore lost volume, and deeply hydrate the skin. Doctors use different types of hyaluronic acid adapted to each patient’s specific needs : denser gels to restore volume in the cheeks and jawline, and lighter formulations to smooth fine lines.
Injectable hyaluronic acid is valued for its ability to provide immediate, natural, and reversible results, making it a top-choice product. Injection techniques have become increasingly sophisticated, with methods such as Soft Lift or MD Codes™, which ensure maximum treatment personalization.
The latest hyaluronic acid–based fillers stand out for their ability to restore volume and redefine facial contours while maintaining a perfectly natural appearance. Some products have an especially soft consistency, allowing them to move with facial expressions — they are preferred for dynamic areas such as the cheeks or the chin, where mobility and a smooth touch are essential.
At the same time, new hydrating formulations — known as Skinboosters — are being developed. Their primary goal is not to add volume but to improve the quality of the skin : they enhance deep hydration, refine skin texture, and bring radiance and evenness to the complexion. These treatments are ideal for patients seeking smoother, brighter, and more revitalized skin without a marked change in facial volume.
Why do hyaluronic acid–based serums dominate skincare routines ? Serums and creams containing hyaluronic acid continue to dominate the skincare market. Thanks to their ability to intensely hydrate and plump the skin, they have become an essential part of any skincare routine, regardless of age or skin type. Low–molecular-weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply into the skin for intense hydration, while high–molecular-weight hyaluronic acid acts on the surface to smooth and protect.
Hyaluronic acid serums are popular for their ability to retain water within the skin and strengthen the skin barrier. These products are particularly effective in improving skin texture, making it firmer and more radiant, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Creams enriched with hyaluronic acid combine hyaluronic acid with other active ingredients, such as vitamin B5 and ceramides, for a comprehensive hydrating, repairing, and anti-aging action. These creams are highly sought after by patients looking to maintain hydrated, supple skin and improve skin density.
Emphasis is also placed on formulations containing multiple molecular weights, which provide hydration at different levels of the skin. These creams and serums meet the specific needs of mature or dehydrated skin while offering an easy, everyday solution to integrate into a skincare routine.
Hydrating masks : why have they become essential ? Hyaluronic acid–based masks, whether in sheet or gel form, have become a true must-have for anyone looking to revitalize their skin in an instant. These masks hydrate and plump the skin quickly, reducing wrinkles and immediately improving the complexion for a real radiance boost.
These masks are particularly popular among those with dry skin or who are exposed to harsh environments such as cold, wind, or air conditioning.
Overnight masks provide continuous hydration during sleep, when the skin is most receptive to repair and cellular renewal. These masks leave the skin soft, plumped, and radiant upon waking.
Sheet masks enriched with hyaluronic acid are also becoming popular for their effectiveness and ease of use. They offer a quick solution to prepare the skin before a special event (Red Carpet) or to give it a hydration boost at the end of the day.
Hyaluronic acid–based dietary supplements are becoming increasingly popular. These products are formulated to hydrate the skin from within, improve its suppleness, and reduce visible signs of aging. They perfectly complement topical and injectable treatments for a comprehensive approach.
These supplements contain hyaluronic acid in a bioavailable form, often combined with other nutrients such as collagen, vitamins C and E, and antioxidants to enhance their effects.
Hyaluronic acid supplements are popular because of their ability to hydrate and plump the skin from within, offering a global anti-aging effect. They are particularly recommended for those with dry skin or for individuals who wish to proactively prevent skin aging.
These supplements are increasingly considered an essential part of a holistic skincare routine. Consumers now understand that healthy skin starts from within and that topical care should be combined with “internal” solutions for optimal results.
Products that combine hyaluronic acid with other active ingredients are becoming very popular. These formulations aim to maximize anti-aging results by combining the hydrating and plumping effects of hyaluronic acid with ingredients such as peptides, vitamin C, and retinol.
These products are particularly appreciated for their ability to visibly reduce wrinkles, improve skin firmness, and provide long-lasting hydration.
Combined products allow consumers to obtain multiple benefits in a single step, simplifying their skincare routine. For example, a serum with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid brightens the complexion while hydrating, whereas a night cream enriched with retinol and hyaluronic acid stimulates cell renewal and reduces wrinkles.
This multi-functional approach meets a growing demand for simpler yet highly effective skincare routines, adapted to modern lifestyles.
