I'm using a supplement now called Eternal Youth. I got it off of eBay for around $8.00.
Copy from the auction:
Eternal Youth features Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Dermatan Sulfate (DS) in an exclusive "Master Moisturizer" formulation. Together HA and DS increase moisture in the skin.
Each tablet contains: HA-DS 300mg
What do you think of this HA topical? http://www.iherb.com/hy.html
Animegirle.... is this still working for you. Has it faded your red marks any quicker? Do you still have active acne? Does it help the redness in them?
I just read the article in Women's World on this acid. Half of the article was ripped away but remembered that there was a post on this board. So I thought I would check it out.
Let me know of anymore success.
Hi guys,
Maya: that looks promising. I know it will probably end up in my giant mountain of skincare products..lol. I just got the new Camellia oil yesterday and want to give it a little while to work it's magic....lol. I will continue with the HA supplements though, I really feel like it makes my skin look plumper.
NTBC: I am using this in supplement form, not sure if you are talking about topical or internal. I can say that my skin is clearer, more "balanced" and looks plumper, good color, etc. When I stop this supplement my skin does show a change, looks drier, scars seem a little more apparent due to the lack of plumping. As for active acne, I usually will get a spot or two around "that time of the month" or if I sneak a few too many M'n'M's #
Animegirle... I just researched the pills you got off of Ebay. You really got a good deal. I found a website selling the "Eternal Youth" and they are selling it for $50.

It's expensive but I am interested. Just need to know if it's worked for anyone.
Hey animegirle,
I am thinking the liquid would absorb much better but I dont want to pay $45 for a 2 week supply. How is the Eternal Youth working for you as opposed to the liquid?
The only thing I could find on ebay are the following 2 links...

The 2nd one actually has coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid and ferulic acid as well.
Hey Maya-
That stuff looks pretty darn good to me.....also, Bio2....the amino-plex company, offers a moisturizing gel with hylauronic acid in it....the guy said he'd sell it to me for 15.00 plus tax and shipping per one ounce bottle. The oxymist site has it for much more....anyway, I think if we enjoy the amino plex alot and plan on another order in the near future, we should prolly plan on factoring that into our next order and trying it out. Go to the oxymist site and take a look. The ingredients arene't listed there (I don't think) I had to ASK when I called that "autograph" guy today. Let me know what you think.
Here is another website on hyaluronic acid. (I'm not promoting this site)

MSM in powder form is also great. MSM can be bought at Vet stores for less than health stores. Starts at $3 american dollars for a half pound.
**Dr. London advises taking 420mg daily for the FIRST TWO WEEKS, \"then taper down to a maintenace dose of 140mg daily.\" You'll find HA at most nutrition outlets from brands like Optio Health and Solaray.
Is this the dose you are taking?
I've convinced myself I need HA (and the amino-plex) desperately - my skin has suddenly aged overnight with over use of topicals.

I just found out that Skinceuticals.. Hydrating B5 Gel has hylauric acid in it. I just got a sample from my doctor who is doing my ClearLight Treatments. I am excited to try it. Anyway, you can also get it at ebay. Here is the description from an auction at ebay.
Description:
This amazing oil-free gel is a must for your daily regime and is loaded with high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, your skin's natural moisturizer. Hydrating B5 Gel, restores the nutrients and hyaluronic acid the skin needs to be healthy and supple. Hydrating B5 Gel is an excellent complement to SkinCeuticals vitamin-C treatments. Leaves skin supple, with a smoother, more radiant appearance. Apply 2-3 drops to face, neck, and chest area twice daily.
Active Ingredients:
Hyaluronic Acid, B5
Key Ingredients:
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate*) - natural humectant with excellent water binding capabilities; capable of attracting and retaining 1000 times its own weight in water; assists as a carrier for other agents to be delivered below the skin's surface; ability to retain water gives immediately smootheness to rough skin; occurs naturally in the dermis; allows the epidermis to achieve greater supplesness, proper elasticity, and turgor (* sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid which occurs naturally; we use sodium hyaluronate because it is water soluble).
Pantothenic Acid (part of B complex) - facilitates permeation of the epidermis; allows the skin's repair systems to function properly; B5 is known to help with tissue repair; commonly found in liver, eggs, dried brewers yeast, and royal jelly.
