Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar in the human body. It is responsible for keeping your joints and eyes lubricated and is a powerful humectant (moisture-binding ingredient) that keeps your skin hydrated and yes, young looking.

Think of a baby’s skin… it always looks plump, supple, soft and dewy. That’s because babies are born with a high level of hyaluronic acid, which keeps their skin plump and smooth. Every person has roughly 15 grams of hyaluronic acid and every day 1/3 of our hyaluronic acid degrades that the body synthesizes and replaces.

By the time we reach our 40’s, our bodies are producing half the amount of HA that we require, resulting in loss of elasticity, thinning of the skin, development of fine lines and wrinkles and dull dehydrated looking skin.

In a simple answer, no – there is a lot of buzz around hyaluronic acid in the cosmetic industry but there are two ways that HA is manufactured that can provide drastically different results ; Un-cross-linked vs Cross-Linked HA. Cross-linking is the ONLY way to achieve longevity with HA only based products, without cross-linking HA would only last a few hours on or in the skin.

RHA™ hyaluronic acid differentiates TEOXANE products from other hyaluronic acid-based products due to its unique ability to create a hydrating protective barrier on the skin, reducing water-loss, resulting in more hydrated, youthful looking, supple skin.

The TEOXANE line of products utilizes resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA™), the same technology used in Teosyal dermal fillers to create a hydrating protective mesh-like  barrier on the skin. The RHA™, in combination with powerful antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, can reduce fine lines, age spots, smooth skin tone and texture, and nourish the skin. The result is soft, radiant skin that looks and feels noticeably younger, more hydrated and glowing.

TEOXANE® RHA™ builds a net that traps water and helps hydrate the skin and works in conjunction with the Dermo-Restructuring Complex that combines three antioxidants, 8 amino-acids, 2 minerals, and vitamin B6. By working synergistically, this “hydration net” keeps the skin healthy and promotes re-densification of the skin layers. The best past is, because the product contains cross-linked RHA, there is no need to re-apply the product throughout the day, you get long-lasting hydration throughout the entire day with just one application.

One of the key ingredients, NovHyal, rejuvenates the skin and improves the ability of the skin to block environmental pollutants and stresses.

When used as directed, this product has been proven to effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven tone, dryness and rough texture and visibly transforms the skin.
