SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore is designed to deeply hydrate, visibly plump, and support your skin’s natural collagen-making application just as important as the formula itself.
SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator was created to solve a problem that almost everyone experiences—even if they don’t realize it: skin loses hyaluronic acid and moisture over time, which leads to visible dehydration, dullness, and the early appearance of fine lines. Even people with oily or combination skin can be dehydrated beneath the surface, which is why many skin concerns (tightness, rough texture, creasing makeup, irritation) often come down to compromised hydration.
When to Use
Use morning and evening for optimal hydration, plumpness, and long-term skin support. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Step 2: SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator with Obagi360 Retinol 1.0 as your next step (preferably in the evening). One of retinol’s main benefits is its ability to accelerate skin cell turnover, helping improve the look of uneven texture, fine lines, and dullness—concerns that often become more noticeable during colder months. What makes this pairing especially effective is that HA5 delivers the hydration and plumping support your skin needs, creating a more comfortable foundation for retinol. When used together, HA5 helps keep the skin feeling cushioned and balanced while retinol works to refine and renew, making the combination ideal for achieving smoother, more radiant results throughout the winter season.
Step 3: SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum to help smooth the look of wrinkles that can become more pronounced when skin is dry—especially during the winter season. One of its main benefits is its ability to visibly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time by supporting the skin’s natural renewal and resilience. When used after HA5, the skin feels more hydrated and plump, allowing TNS Advanced+ to glide on effortlessly and work more comfortably—helping address that “winter-worn” look while enhancing a smoother, firmer, more refreshed complexion with continued use.
Step 4: For added hydration—especially during the winter season—follow SkinMedica HA5® Hydra Collagen Replenish + Restore Hydrator with SkinMedica Dermal Repair Cream as your next step. This rich, restorative moisturizer is designed to deeply nourish the skin and help reinforce the moisture barrier, which can become compromised in colder, drier weather. One of its main benefits is its ability to provide long-lasting comfort and moisture retention, helping reduce dryness, tightness, and rough texture. When layered over HA5, Dermal Repair Cream works perfectly to seal in the hydration HA5 delivers, preventing moisture loss and allowing skin to stay soft, supple, and resilient throughout the day. Together, these two steps create a winter-ready hydration duo that leaves skin feeling cushioned, balanced, and visibly smoother.
Step 5: To finish your routine—and protect everything you’ve just applied—the final and most important step is EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46. Daily sunscreen is what truly ties this entire skincare regimen together, because it helps prevent the UV damage that can undo the visible benefits of your serums, hydrators, moisturizers, and retinol over time. After investing in powerhouse steps like SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum for rejuvenation and Obagi Retinol 1.0 for resurfacing, SPF becomes the essential shield that preserves smoother texture, firmer-looking skin, and a more even tone. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 is a best seller for a reason: it’s lightweight, layers beautifully under makeup, and is especially loved by those with sensitive or acne-prone skin thanks to its calming formula and non-greasy finish. With broad-spectrum protection and a comfortable daily feel, UV Clear makes sun protection effortless—helping your entire routine perform better, longer, and more visibly.
In Conclusion: To see and feel the most maximum results from this routine, consistency is key. Skincare—especially with high-performance products like growth-factor serums, hydrators, retinol, and daily SPF—works best when used as part of a strict, ongoing regimen, not as occasional steps. While many users notice improvements in hydration and glow quickly, visible changes in texture, firmness, and fine lines require daily commitment and continued use over time. Following each step in the correct order, staying consistent morning and night, and never skipping SPF during the day will help ensure the products can perform at their highest potential—so you can truly maximize your results.
