Hyaluronic acid creams and serums
Hyaluronic acid has quickly become a staple in anti-aging medicine due to its properties:
- Provides intense hydration, plumps the dermis, and smooths wrinkles.
- Natural, therefore very well tolerated by the body.
- Bio-resorbable, that is to say, degraded by the body over time.
- Stimulates the creation of endogenous hyaluronic acid and collagen (secreted by the body).
What efficiency?
Unlike a hyaluronic acid injection, which is mechanically placed deep into the dermis using a syringe, a cream or serum based on hyaluronic acid will not be able to penetrate the skin as deeply and therefore will not have the same anti-aging results.
In the case of a cream, the active ingredients (in this instance, hyaluronic acid) must penetrate the epidermal barrier. However, there are few active ingredients capable of crossing it.
However, there are electro-stimulation devices that generate an imperceptible micro-current (iontophoresis) which increases skin permeability to enhance the penetration of active cosmetic ingredients.
Talika Time Control induces imperceptible micro-currents (ionotherapy) that increase skin permeability to enhance the penetration and effectiveness of cosmetic active ingredients, as well as currents that help purify the epidermis.
In general, HA molecules will penetrate the skin more or less effectively depending on their size (cross-linking). The more HA molecules are linked together, the longer chains they form, and the less likely they are to pass through the skin barrier. Conversely, the more freely they are from one another, the better they penetrate.
Some devices are more radical when it comes to crossing the skin barrier. The Hyaluron Pen uses compressed air to introduce HA, even highly cross-linked, by propelling the product at high speed through the skin into the tissues.
Hyaluronic acids of different calibers may have different uses depending on the intended objectives:
A hydrating and protective action
A high molecular weight acid will not penetrate deeply; it will rather remain on the surface of the skin. Due to its strong ability to attract water, it thus prevents the epidermis from drying out and helps to form a protective layer on its surface against daily aggressions.

A treatment ensuring immediate and long-lasting hydration. Its rich and silky texture provides instant comfort, especially for dehydrated skin. The skin thus retains its radiance and suppleness.
A hydrating and anti-aging action
The smaller the size of the molecule, the more it is fragmented, and the better it will penetrate the different layers of the skin. In addition to its moisturizing action, it can have a remarkable anti-aging and toning effect by forming a viscoelastic solution that fills the spaces between collagen fibers. However, due to its small size, it is easily absorbed by the body, which necessitates daily application for a lasting effect.
The Anti-Aging Restructuring Cream from the Vivacy range is a complete treatment that nourishes and protects against the aging of skin cells.
It penetrates quickly and provides a feeling of firmness to the skin. The powerful antioxidants in its formula are known to protect the skin from free radicals and oxidative stress
A rich and creamy texture delicately scented makes its use particularly enjoyable.
Usage – Beauty Ritual
Two uses can be made:
A 'classic' use in day care
The cream with AH, like other creams that do not contain it, can be used as a daily treatment, combining the benefits of a classic cream with those of AH (hydration, prevention of aging and skin dryness).
A use in addition to one's daily treatment care
Users who have, in addition to dryness, minor skin issues (redness, blemishes, etc.) can use a serum based on hyaluronic acid, which is more fluid than cream and will allow them to apply their treatment for their specific problem after a few minutes.
The Cellular Regenerating Serum Vivacy is a true booster for the cells. Slightly pink, fresh, and melting, it helps optimize skin regeneration with an effect on wrinkles, firmness, and radiance of the complexion.
It penetrates very quickly and provides an intense hydration sensation. Non-sticky and lightweight, it allows for the application of daily care immediately after use.
The luckiest ones, who have no other problems than dry skin, can use a cream based on HA, thicker than the serum, which will suffice on its own!
Use after injection of HA-based filler product
While serums and creams containing hyaluronic acid do not have the same duration of effectiveness as injections, they can nonetheless work in complementarity to maintain firm and hydrated skin after an injection. This is ideal for maximizing the effects and limiting the resorption of the filler product.
