SkinMedica® Revolutionizes Skin Hydration with the Introduction of HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator
- SkinMedica®, by the makers of BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) launches the first and only product to use a proprietary complex of five forms of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Hydra Collagen, plus Advanced VITISENSCE® Technology for deeper hydration
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For 25 years, SkinMedica® has been at the forefront of science-based skincare solutions, and today, Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), announced the launch of its next generation hydration product: SkinMedica® HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator. The product is specifically designed to deliver unparalleled hydration, visible plumpness, and radiance to facial skin.
"We revolutionized the way people approached skin hydration in 2016 with the launch of our first HA5® Rejuvenating Hydrator, which continues to win industry awards and be a consumer favorite," said Jasson Gilmore, Senior Vice President of U.S. Aesthetics at Allergan Aesthetics. "Now we've taken the best of the original product and improved on it to enhance skin health and provide even deeper hydration."
The new SkinMedica® HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator has double the amount of hyaluronic acid than the original and now contains Hydra Collagen and Advanced VITISENSCE® Technology, which support the skin's natural ability to attract and retain moisture while providing instant hydration and smoothness. The product is appropriate for all skin types, helps fortify the skin barrier, and provides hydration for up to 48 hours1.
For optimal results, HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator can be complemented with an in-office DiamondGlow® facial using SkinMedica® HA5® Hydra Collagen Pro-Infusion Serum. Clinical studies show that participants using both the at-home and in-office treatment reported their skin appeared three-times more radiant, more hydrated, and visibly plumper after just one use1.
"Regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity, people experience dehydrated skin at some point. Skin hydration is critical for skin that not only looks smooth and radiant, but also feels healthy and firm," said Dr. Shannon Humphrey, board-certified dermatologist. "Daily application of the HA5® Hydra Collagen Hydrator, supplemented with DiamondGlow® treatments every 4-6 weeks is an effective combination that delivers radiant, glowing, and hydrated skin."
SkinMedica® HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator MSRP $192 is available for purchase at SkinMedica.com.

BOTOX® Cosmetic dosing units are not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product.
