Dew points and leaves are dropping, there’s a crisp feeling in the air—fall is here. The summer-to-autumn transition doesn’t only mean swapping linen tanks for cozy knits. It’s also time to swap in skin care that’s cold-weather friendly. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid are key, and few brands do hydrating serums better than SkinMedica. Just in time for dry skin season, SkinMedica has released a new serum designed to deliver unparalleled hydration, visible plumpness and radiance, per the brand. Meet HA5 Hydra Collagen Replenish and Restore Hydrator ($192).

SkinMedica has been at the forefront of science-baked skin-care solutions for nearly three decades (Its parent company, Allergan Aesthetics, is the brains behind Botox Cosmetic). The innovative and wildly successful HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator ($175) has been a dermatologists’ darling since it debuted in 2016. But SkinMedica didn’t stop there. The HA5 Hydra Collagen Replenish and Restore Hydrator modernizes the brand’s original formula and amps it up with double the amount of hyaluronic acid, plus Hydra Collagen and Advanced VITISENSCE® Technology. Simply put, that’s five forms of hyaluronic acid, vegan collagen, plant-based antioxidants and nutrients from avocado oil, vitamin F and passion fruit oil in every pump. With a lightweight creamy texture, it soothes, smooths and replenishes dry skin with immediate and long-term hydration. It also supports a healthy skin barrier and protects against oxidative stress. The result? Bouny, dewy, even-toned skin for up to 48 hours.

In a clinical study, users said the HA5 Hydra Collagen Replenish and Restore Hydrator made their skin look approximately three years younger in 12 weeks. 93 percent of those participants also reported their skin looked “visibly plumper.” After just two weeks, 97 percent said their skin still looked healthy and dewy.

Overall, you can’t go wrong with either of SkinMedica’s powerful hydrators. But the new HA5 Hydra Collagen Replenish and Restore Hydrator has an edge, thanks to the Hydra Collagen that attracts and retains water in the skin. Think of it as the tall glass of water your skin will crave as the air gets colder and drier. Use it in the morning and evening for a complexion that looks instantaneously glowing and hydrated.
