Skin aging is a complex and multifactorial process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The periorbital area of the face is particularly susceptible to premature aging signs due to its delicate skin structure, and is a major concern for many individuals. While hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler products are commonly used for periorbital rejuvenation, novel approaches to effectively locally address the visible signs of aging are available. This study aimed to investigate Innovyal Regenerative Action (IRA), an injectable polynucleotide–HA (PN-HA) regenerative complex designed for periocular prejuvenation. Firstly, PN-HA was compared to other commercially available HA-based dermbooster products (Profhilo®, Suisselle Cellbooster® Glow, and NCTF® 135 HA) in terms of rheological properties, in vitro antioxidant capacity, and total collagen production stimulation in human fibroblasts. Secondly, the clinical effects of the IRA PN-HA complex were evaluated in two case reports (monotherapy for periorbital prejuvenation). It was shown that the PN-HA complex outperformed its comparators in terms of relative rheological behavior (biophysical attributes normalized to polymer contents), intrinsic antioxidant activity (CUPRAC, FRAP, and ORAC assays), as well as total collagen level induction (72-h in vitro dermal fibroblast induction model). Generally, the results of this study provided mechanistic and preliminary clinical insights into the potential benefits of the IRA PN-HA complex for periocular cutaneous treatment. Overall, it was underscored that combining the structural support and regenerative properties of PN with the hydrating and volumizing effects of HA bares tangible potential for multifactorial skin quality enhancement and for periocular prejuvenation in particular.
