Hyaluronic Acid in Skincare and in Acute Care Patches by Rodan + Fields

3/25/2016

Hyaluronic acid is a compound naturally found in the skin. It is a complex carbohydrate molecule in the supporting layer of the skin called the dermis.  It is present in large amounts in the spaces between the skin cells and it is a powerful moisture-binding molecule. It binds water giving the supporting layer of the skin (the dermis) its volume.  It contributes to your skin's moist, plump and smooth look.  As we age, the ability to form new hyaluronic acid decreases.  For these reasons, the manufactured form of hyaluronic acid is a very common ingredient in different types of skin care products. There are 2 categories of hyaluronic acid:  High molecular weight and low molecular weight (also known as micro) hyaluronic acid.  The low molecular weight when applied topically penetrates the skin and biologically has anti-aging effects of minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. The high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is used in moisturizers and has immediate skin smoothing effects.  Plastic surgeons and dermatologists use hyaluronic acid in an injectable form which are formulated in the laboratory.  Popular names are Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane. Hyaluronic acid generally does not cause allergic reactions, so it does not require skin testing.   Various brands and formulations of hyaluronic acid perform differently and are best suited to different areas of the face but can also be used in the hands.  Hyaluronic acid treatments have been shown to stimulate and repair collagen, and the initial effects lasts from 4 to 12 weeks.  A pleasing effect can persist after repeated treatments.  Hyaluronic acid is one ingredient that works across every skin type, even oily skin, can benefit.
Drs. Rodan + Fields, cosmetic dermatologists, found that in their practice, patients were not as keen to get injections of fillers but would agree to topical application of hyaluronic acid.  What they came up with is Acute Care Skincare for Expression lines.  It is patented Liquid Cone technology in a patch that melts line-defying peptides and hyaluronic acid directly into a wrinkle for a more youthful appearance.  Used while you sleep, ten applications can last up to 8-12 weeks.

Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields are the Makers of Proactiv Solution and Proactiv + for acne,  These acne products are sold in 181 countries and Proactiv owns 86% of the acne treatment market,  They have helped millions of people and will continue to do so.  The Unblemish product of the Rodan + Fields Premium skin care line is their premium acne product and has been named the # 1 Premium acne treatment in the USA. Not only does it treat acne and post acne marks, it also nourishes and protects the skin, and gives it an amazing healthy glow.  Here are some facts about Unblemish:
  • Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash contains 3% Sulfur
  • It Contains Vitamin F (Linoleic acid) which has amazing healing and hydrating properties as an essential fatty acid which acne-prone skin lacks 
  • No Microbeads-smooth and creamy texture (less irritation)
  • Toner contains glycolic acid, witch hazel, arginine
  • Dual-Intensive Acne Treatment contians 2.5% benzoyl peroxide lotion in one chamber and an activation gel in the other side which acts as a slip n' slide, delivering the Benzoyl Peroxide deeper into the pores where the acne starts forming
  • Unblemish is more effective at treating cystic acne than the Proactiv products due to daily use of sulfur solution
  • Most people find it less drying than Proactiv
  • Regimen is oil-free
  • SPF lotion is included as Step 4
