Ialuset: The Miracle Product?

Originally formulated as a healing cream, Ialuset has been repurposed for years by consumers as an anti-wrinkle treatment. This trend, which quickly went viral on TikTok, is not necessarily one to follow blindly. Here is why.

• Ialuset is primarily a healing cream, not an anti-aging treatment
• It contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid
• Its smoothing effect is mechanical and temporary
• It does not treat wrinkles in the long term
• Inappropriate use can weaken certain areas of the face

Hyaluronic acid: it is written in black and white on the tube, and it is undoubtedly the reason for this repurposing the main active ingredient used for its healing properties. As a quick reminder, hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our bodies. It helps regulate hydration and rebuild skin structures. However, as we age, its levels decrease. This is why it is found in most anti-aging treatments: in creams, injections, and even dietary supplements.

In Ialuset cream, developed by Genevrier Laboratories, hyaluronic acid is present in very high concentrations, originally intended to treat burns and pressure sores. Its role: to provide water to regenerate cells and boost the healing process.

It hydrates, protects, and stimulates. Cells are plumped… much like the effect of an anti-wrinkle cream. This is why so many women have adopted it as such. However, a wrinkle is neither a burn nor a lesion; it is a natural part of aging. Ialuset penetrates the epidermis and hides wrinkles through a mechanical effect that smoothes the skin. But be careful: it does not eliminate them in the long term.

2. Why Ialuset should not be used as an anti-wrinkle cream

Ialuset is a healing treatment limited to hydrating and protecting the skin. As an anti-wrinkle solution, it is not necessarily suitable for all skin types. Most importantly, it is an ultra-potent product that can damage the delicate eye contour area. It was formulated for the body rather than the face, which requires additional ingredients—such as specific anti-aging actives—to make the plumping effect of hyaluronic acid last.

Ultimately, the choice is yours to make, but it should be an informed one: if you practice microneedling, or if you have minor wounds or burns, Ialuset will indeed help your skin heal and repair itself. However, spreading a thick layer over your face when you have no specific lesions is not necessarily a good idea. If in doubt, speak with your dermatologist.
