Skinceuticals HA Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan Review

There’s nothing like a good Hyaluronic Acid serum for a lovely plumpness to the skin so I was very excited to try out the new Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan serum which is an upgrade to their best selling Hyaluronic Acid. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan?

This is a brand new formula from Skinceuticals, described as a multi-dimensional volumising serum to plump and contour:

  • Next-generation corrective serum
  • Proven to amplify the skin’s own hyaluronic acid levels
  • Leaves skin looking plumper and more contoured
  • Contains a high concentration of 1.3% pure hyaluronic acid
  • Includes 12% Proxylane™
  • Also features a new post-biotic ferment to increase the effectiveness of HA
  • Promises instant hydration that lasts 48 hours
  • Preserves levels of Hyaluronic Acid in the uppermost layers of the skin

Key Ingredients

1.3% Hyaluronic Acid – to plump and hydrate

12% Proxylane – more concentrated than the previous H.A. Intensifier formula, works to support skin’s hyaluronic acid levels to help improve the appearance of skin firmness

2% Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Liquorice Root Extract) & 2% Post-biotic Ferment (New Ingredient) – helps support skins firmness and improve skins texture

0.2% Purple Rice Extract – preserves HA levels in the skin’s uppermost layer

How to use it

This is designed to be used once or twice a day. All you need to do is apply 4-6 drops and blend over the forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck.

Where in your routine should the Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan go?

If using in the morning, apply after a vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a sunscreen. You can add in moisturiser before sunscreen if you wish.

My Review of Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan

Skinceuticals HA Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan texture

I have been absolutely loving this serum because it is so instantly plumping and really gives a gorgeous radiance to the skin. The texture offers a bit more than a regular hydrating serum and also feels really moisturising. You could in fact skip moisturiser if you wanted to go straight to a sunscreen for the day time.

Having said that, the texture still feels really light and refreshing and isn’t sticky like many HA serums can be.

After each use, it leaves my skin looking really toned and more contoured, and fine lines are brilliantly minimised. The feeling and look of hydration is very long lasting, and I find that it leaves my skin really plumped up and dewy all day long.

What are Glycans or Glycosaminoglycans?

These are naturally occurring compounds and part of the skin’s matrix. They provide hydration and structural support to the skin. Glycans, like hyaluronic acid, help promote surface-level plumpness and volume.

How is HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan serum different to other Hyaluronic Acid serums?

This serum contains 5 active ingredients that all work together to plump and contour the skin. The formulation uses 3 different types of Hyaluronic Acid and is also fortifies with licorice root and purple rice extracts to further preserve the HA levels in the skin’s uppermost layer.

Proxylane and a new post-biotic ferment extract also help to increase skin’s plumping glycan levels to boost the look of facial volume.

Where to buy it

The Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan serum is £120 and available via the links below:

Christmas is absolutely the best time to indulge in a candle. It’s the perfect excuse to splash out on one of life’s luxuries and will certainly help to get you into the Christmas spirit. Here’s my round up of the best Christmas Candles 2024. Time to get planning!

There’s a whole host of Christmas candles to choose from this year, so I thought I’d make it a little easier for you to decide which you need.

Diptyque Christmas Candles 2024

Diptyque have an absolutely beautiful design this year. This, combined with the fact that the quality of these candles is amazing, make them the perfect choice.

The collection this year is absolutely beautiful. There are limited edition candle designs and they are stunning.

I love the Sapin candle which gives us a unique take on a pine candle. It is designed to capture the invigorating beauty of an aromatic forest.

Jo Malone Christmas Candles 2024

This year’s theme is the razzle dazzle of Christmas and we have a brand new festive scent plus some brilliant festive returns.

The design for this year’s Jo Malone London Christmas collection is super charming and there’s a limited edition Bitter Orange & Chocolate Ceramic Candle* that’s all about the indulgent aroma of dark chocolate and orange peel.

Space NK Christmas Candles 2024

For something a little more affordable yet super high quality and gorgeous, you can’t beat Space NK’s Shimmering Spice. It is one of my Christmas icons.

It’s a delicious blend of spicy cinnamon and the fresh citrus notes of orange, mandarin and litsea cubeba. It has a gorgeous base of cedar and vanilla and is just perfect for getting you into the Christmas spirit. It’s a 175g candle with 40 hours burn time for £28. It’s amazing value and there’s also a 3 wick candle this year.

See my full review of Shimmering Spice.

Goutal Christmas Candles 2024

I love the Goutal Christmas candle. It is so festive, and it really fills a room, even before it is lit!! It is called Une Forêt d’Or Limited-Edition Candle and it’s the freshest, most authentic take on pine with a hint of orange rind.

Cowshed Winter Candle 2024

Although not just a Christmas candle, the three-wick Cowshed Winter Room Candle is perfect for the festive period because it is so cosy and comforting.

This is such an impressive candle to look at. Because it is a three wick candle, it is absolutely huge and burns beautifully. IIt has notes of Rose, Neroli and Ylang-Ylang, and spicy Cinnamon and Cloves, perfect for a cold winter’s day.

NEOM Christmas Candles 2024

NEOM candles are amazing. I love Christmas Wish which is a lovely sweet, cinnamony affair. It is formulated with a blend of 13 pure essential oils and includes mandarin, cinnamon and tonka bean. It is designed to evoke the traditional scent of Christmas and deliver aromatherapeutic benefit at the same time.
