What molecular weights of Hyaluronic acid is used in this formula?

The Dr.TWL Hyaluronic Acid Serum is composed of multi-molecular weighted hyaluronic acids. This means optimal absorption and efficacy, as opposed to mono-molecular weighted formulas.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. While certain anti-ageing ingredients like retinol and ferrulic acid may cause irritation, Dr. TWL’s cosmeceuticals are formulated retinol and acid free – for the most sensitive of skin types. Our Hyaluronic acid formula is in fact used as an adjunct to facial eczema treatments in the dermatologist’s office as it is a pure formula, containing the Hyaluronic acid molecular mix with purified water.

How is this hyaluronic acid serum different from others?

This formula is specifically compounded by our pharmacy which is part of our teledermatology service and is used by our patients with eczema, sensitive skin, rosacea and acne. It is suitable even for individuals with peri-oral dermatitis, a type of facial eczema that is sensitive/breaks out to moisturisers. The serum can also be used to regulate sebum production in those with oily dehydrated skin because it regulates cell talk mechanisms to reduce inflammation.

It contains 1% pure hyaluronic acid, which is one of the highest concentrations available. There is no traditional preservatives added, unlike off-the-shelf formulas. Each freshly compounded serum has a shelf life of six months. It is stabilised with a food grade, allergen-free preservative, potassium sorbate which makes it helpful in the treatment of skin disease. This multi-weighted molecular formula ensures that even individuals with skin disease such as eczema and rosacea, are able to tolerate the formula, with zero risk of irritation. Off-the-shelf formulas often contain many other active ingredients which can irritate the skin when the skin barrier is affected.
