Frequently asked questions
FAQ
What differentiates HA⁵® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator from the legacy HA⁵® Rejuvenating Hydrator product?
Modernizing our legacy HA⁵® formulation takes HA⁵® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator to the next level of hydrator innovation. NEW Hydra Collagen is a vegan collagen that attracts and retains water for instant hydration and smoothness. ADVANCED VITISENSCE® TECHNOLOGY replenishes the natural HA, biohumectants, and hydration-boosting collagens within the skin to support the skin's hydration reservoir. Now, hydration lasts twice as long (48 hours vs 24 hours) compared to the original formulation.
What’s the difference between a moisturizer and a hydrator?
A moisturizer is a cosmetic cream or lotion made with humectants or occlusive or a combination of that prevents skin dryness. A hydrator is a cosmetic treatment product that promotes epidermal health by supporting the skin’s natural biomolecules, including HA, other humectants and hydration-boosting collagens.
What’s the difference between dehydrated and dry skin?
Dry skin is a skin type, while dehydration is a skin condition. In both, the skin undergoes trans-epidermal water loss, or evaporation of water from inside the body. With this water loss, the enzymes that normally help the skin shed cells cannot function properly, resulting in a buildup of cells that makes the skin look rough and dry, contributing to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dry skin can be genetic or a symptom of systemic disease. It is caused either by the inadequate production of oil, called sebum, or by an imbalance of fatty acids, ceramide, and cholesterol in the stratum corneum, the barrier layer of the skin. Age is also a factor since we experience a decline in a main hormone that triggers sebum production. Dehydrated skin still produces sebum, but is temporarily dry because of various factors, including environmental effects such as a dry climate, harsh detergents, or skin products. It is also caused by a temporary imbalance of fatty acids and ceramides in the skin’s barrier layer, resulting in a temporary spike in trans-epidermal water loss.
