Why We Upgraded from Intense Hydrating to HA + Prebiotics Serum
|
Time to read 4 min
If you've been a loyal user of our Intense Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum, you may have noticed it's no longer available on our website. Don't worry – we haven't left you without your favorite hydration. Instead, we've made a strategic decision to streamline our HA collection and focus on one superior formula: our HA + Prebiotics Serum.
This isn't about discontinuing a product; it's about evolution. Here's the full story behind this change and why we believe you'll love the upgrade even more than the original.
The Evolution of Hyaluronic Acid Skincare
When we first launched our Intense Hydrating Serum, it represented the gold standard in hydration technology – multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid that could penetrate deep into the skin's layers. And it served that purpose beautifully for years.
But skincare science doesn't stand still. Recent research has revealed that true skin health goes beyond just hydration. It requires a balanced microbiome, a strong barrier function, and protection against modern environmental stressors like blue light and pollution.
That's where our HA + Prebiotics Serum comes in.
Side-by-Side Comparison: What's Changed, What's Better
The Similarities
Both serums share the core hydration technology you've come to trust:
- Multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid
- Deep penetration for lasting hydration
- Lightweight, non-sticky formula
- Suitable for all skin types
- Can be layered under other products
The Upgrades in HA + Prebiotics
1. Prebiotic Complex: Unlike the Intense Hydrating Serum, our HA + Prebiotics formula includes glycerin and aloe as prebiotics that feed beneficial bacteria on your skin. This means:
- Reduced inflammation and redness
- Fewer breakouts
- Better pH balance
- Improved healing response
2. Enhanced Antioxidant Protection: We've added Venuceane (Thermus Thermophilus Ferment), a heat-activated antioxidant that actually becomes more powerful when exposed to UV rays and heat. This marine-derived ingredient provides protection against:
- UV damage
- Infrared radiation
- Blue light from screens
- Environmental pollutants
3. Better Barrier Support: The soybean extract in our upgraded formula delivers essential fatty acids that strengthen your skin barrier – something our Intense Hydrating Serum didn't address as comprehensively.
The Price Advantage
Here's something that might surprise you: despite all these additional benefits, the HA + Prebiotics Serum is actually $41 less expensive than the Intense Hydrating Serum was.
- Intense Hydrating Serum: $110 (1.8 oz)
- HA + Prebiotics Serum: $69 (1 oz)
Yes, the bottle is more compact, but the formula is more concentrated and efficient. Most users find they need fewer drops per application, and many can even skip their moisturizer when using this serum, creating additional savings in their routine.
What Our Customers Are Saying
We've been amazed by the feedback from customers who've made the switch:
- "I've been using the Probiotic Serum for over 6 months both morning and night. It feels very light and helps keep my skin moisturized throughout the day. Love this product!"
- "This serum feels really luxurious on the face morning and night. It is good to use under the moisturizer in the day, and under the Illuminous Antioxidant serum at bedtime."
Making the Transition
If you're switching from our Intense Hydrating Serum, here's what to expect:
Week 1-2: Your skin adjusts to the prebiotic complex. You might notice it feels less oily by midday.
Week 3-4: The microbiome balancing effects become apparent. Many users report fewer breakouts and less redness.
Month 2+: Full benefits realized – stronger skin barrier, better moisture retention, and improved overall skin health.
How to Use
The application remains the same:
- Apply to clean, slightly damp skin
- Use 2-3 drops for full face and neck
- Pat gently until absorbed
- Follow with SPF during the day
FAQs About the Change
Q: Can I still get the Intense Hydrating Serum anywhere? A: We've discontinued production to focus on our superior HA + Prebiotics formula.
Q: I have sensitive skin. Is the new formula safe for me? A: Absolutely. The HA + Prebiotics Serum is actually gentler due to its microbiome-balancing properties. It's suitable for rosacea, eczema, and sensitive skin.
Q: Why is the bottle smaller? A: The formula is more concentrated, so you need less product per application. Most users find a bottle lasts just as long.
Q: Can I use this with my prescription skincare? A: Yes! Our medical-grade formulations are designed to work synergistically with prescription treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve had stubborn cystic, hormonal acne for years. Can Revoderm help with that?

Can you help with other medical skin conditions, like eczema and psoriasis?
Our private consults can help with acne, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and hair loss. If you suspect you have another issue, contact your local dermatologist.
Do I have to part with all of my existing skincare products?
