“Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid,” explains Doft. “The hyaluronic acid is injected into the dermal layer of the skin to add volume and help smooth wrinkles.” She notes that while many skin-plumping formulas contain hyaluronic acid, picking up a bottle or jar with the ingredient stamped on the label isn’t enough—choose a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid serum, which is small enough to enter skin similarly to a dermal filler (Doft says a cream is too thick to penetrate properly). SkinMedica’s HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator is made with nano hyaluronic acid, which decreases the depth of wrinkles up to 40% and improves skin hydration by 96%.
