The Allies

Here are some other ingredients to look for in products/supplements that can help stimulate or increase the production of Hyaluronic Acid, or help to fight off Hyaluronidase.

THE ALLIES:

  • Polyphenols- help to inhibit the activity of Hyaluronidase
  • Grape Seed Extract- helps by inhibiting the destruction of the Hyaluronic Acid
  • Citric Acid- 20-25% applied topically may increase the Hyaluronic Acid content of the skin
  • Glycolic Acid- applied topically may increase the production of Hyaluronic Acid
  • Retinoids such as Retinol/Retin A- also found to increase the production of Hyaluronic Acid when applied topically
  • Coenzyme Q10- Can help to increase the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid by the skin's Fibroblasts
  • Echinacea- may protect Hyaluronic Acid from destruction by the Hyaluronidase enzyme
  • Gotu Kola- stimulates the production of Hyaluronic Acid
  • Estrogens- when applied topically, this female hormone can also help to stimulate the production of HA

A few great products that have some of the indgredients listed above:


H2V 's G-10 (Burke Williams Private Line) - Its an amazing 10% glycolic serum with acai berry (super antioxidant)
 

Caudalie Radiance Day Fluid- packed with grape seed polyphenols, and gives your skin a natural glow!


Peter Thomas Roth's Retinol Fusion PM-  I love this product!! has both the Retinol (gentle) and Vit C 


Enjoy XOXO
