I am wondering if using a hyaluronic serum or supplement can help to minimize mild pitted scarring, as it is supposed to instantly firm and plump the skin. Also, I read that fetuses don't scar because of the high levels of hyaluronic acid in the womb, so I was thinking that maybe using hyaluronic acid topically could help prevent further scarring.
Anyone have any experience with or information about hyaluronic acid in serum or supplement form?

I can confirm that hyaluronic acid in a serum form does in fact plump the skin and can lessen the appearance of mild pitted scars. I use it (hylauronic acid and copper peptide serum) in combination with a AHA glycolic acid (12%) and salicylic acid solution which works wonders on it's own. Using hyaluronic acid in conjunction with a AHA helps to optimize healing and reduce scarring even better. However, if you want even better results you can use the dermaroller with the hyaluronic acid and AHA since it helps to heal the skin and create new collagen. Hyaluronic acid also heals the little spots of acne I seem to get and greatly reduces the time it takes for red marks to disappear. The dermaroller on it's on will help the pitted scarring dramatically however, especially if your scarring is mild like mine. hopes this helps !

your are correct that Hyl. Acid does have a plumping effect on the skin. It also is a substance that naturally occures in our bodies. (thats why companies like Allergan use it as their Filler Juvederm). As a skin tech I would suggest using it as a serum if you are experiencing current breakouts and a lot of skincare companies produce them with other agents like Vit. B- which has endless benefits. I use the DCL hydrating serum and Vital B from DermAware with my clients- they make nice light weight liquid moisturizers (which tend to be more aggreable with acneic skin).Yous hould be able to locate those Items online. I know DermAware has a webpage for sure that you can purchase from. I would also suggest using a topical Vitamin K- these help reduce redness and pinkness in the skin, shrink up broken capillaries and reduse dark circles caused by leaky caps. under the eye area. It also reduces the skins risk of scarring from blemishes- so it's preventative. DermAware also makes a serum called Vital K, you could use this with your Vital B with hyl. acid. Give them a try- they are a little pricy, but my clients that use them, love them! I could suggest other things you could try if you need further help.

ive just purchased tablets some and will see how it goes. i remember the topical form improved my skin slighty. strangely enough the there is only 50mgs of HA and the other 450mgs is msm per tablet. i remember reading you need to take quite a few tablets to see the desired amount of HA. is there any health concerns with taking high levels of msm?
Quirky, I just posted this in another thread, but it applies to your question also.

"A recent review in The Archives of Dermatology concludes that three anti-aging treatments are proven clinically effective: the topical application of retinol; carbon dioxide laser resurfacing; and injection of hyaluronic acid, a moisture-retaining acid that occurs naturally in the skin. Each depends on the same mechanism, the interaction of skin cells called fibroblasts with the collagen they produce."
