Beauty Boss: Keith O'Briant, CEO of Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science
Keith O'Briant.
Our latest Beauty Boss is Keith O'Briant, CEO of Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science—a line of skincare products that are powered by proprietary PPM⁶ Technology, which features a combination of supercharged hyaluronic acid with six powerful peptides and plant-based antioxidants to accelerate results, safeguard skin, repair and protect skin.
Starting out as a regenerative medicine company that developed advanced wound care products, surgical devices, and drug delivery systems for oncology and hematology patients, Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science started experimenting with skin repair and anti-aging serums for at-home use after reports from leading clinicians revealed that their formulas promoted rapid healing and repair on severely compromised skin in patients undergoing radiation therapy.
Their innovative products feature the highest-quality medical grade ingredients that meet strict medical-grade standards for safety, efficacy and purity. They are safe for skin and proven to deliver dramatic results in just two weeks, resulting in ageless, healthy, and radiant skin.
We chatted with O'Briant who shared the inspiration behind the brand, secrets for success, beauty tips, and much more.
When was Hydrinity founded and what does the name mean?
Launched in 2022, after three years of multiple formulations and tireless research, Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science was born. Hydrinity means hydration to the power of infinity.
What inspired the creation of the brand?
Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science began as a regenerative medicine company developing advanced wound care products, surgical devices, and drug delivery systems for oncology and hematology patients using our revolutionary hyaluronic acid technology. Medical reports revealed that the supercharged hyaluronic acid-based formulas promoted rapid healing and repair of even severely compromised skin patients. The Hydrinity team began experimenting with skin repair and anti-aging serums for at-home use and after three years, multiple formulations, and tireless research—Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science was born.

Does Hydrinity have a hero product?
Our hyaluronic acid serums are unlike anything on the market. Unlike traditional HA production, Hydrinity is produced in small batches using no heat. This patented process produces a supercharged, injectable-grade hyaluronic acid with extra-long molecular chains. Because the HA chains are longer it allows more of the active peptides and antioxidants in the formula to attach and be delivered deep into the dermal layer of skin providing hydration, and stimulating collagen and elastin production that can repair and renew skin. At the same time this potent HA serum super hydrates the skin’s surface to dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles, calm the skin, and form a protective barrier.
What are your favorite products from the brand?
This is a difficult question! Our current product portfolio is targeted and multi-purpose. Our two serums along with our Hyacyn Active will provide numerous benefits to the skin and support the improvement of most skin conditions. My favorite regimen with our serums is to use the Renewing HA Serum in the morning and then the Restorative HA Serum in the evening to help provide a bit more intensive skin barrier support during the increased repair that occurs overnight.
Where are your products sold?
Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science is only available through authorized dermatologists, plastic surgeons, other skincare professionals, and on our website.
Future plans for the brand?
Our patented hyaluronic acid molecule is the first advancement in hyaluronic acid in over 20 years. We plan to maximize its potential to provide powerful treatments and accelerated results for everyone and every skin challenge. We will do this while also keeping in mind that consumers want to use as little products as possible to achieve the greatest results.
Hydrinity’s Age Renewal Kit ($180) helps achieve age-defying hydration with HYACN Active Purifying Mist and Renewing HA Serum.
Who inspires you?
All the individuals that we have been able to help feel happy, confident, and beautiful in their skin inspire me every day to keep wanting to do more.
Secret to success?
Never immediately accept “no” as an answer. It is easy to stop at no as if it were an absolute. However, no is just a word. The most profound innovations and successes we have seen in society were because someone decided to not stop at no and find a way.
Beauty secrets?
Never go to bed without washing your face! Going to bed with makeup on or leaving the dirt, toxins, and environmental stressors we encounter all day long will age your skin. Your skin heals 60% faster while you sleep, so cleansing your face and providing your skin with the proper tools it needs to repair will keep you looking your best!
Wellness tip?
Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate! Your skin is 64% water. Making sure you drink plenty of water and utilize proper skincare products to keep your skin barrier balanced will ensure you have the most healthy and hydrated skin possible.
Best advice?
Follow your dreams. Your dreams will excite your passion, and then your passion is what will drive you to ultimate success.
Favorite way to relax?
My family and the outdoors have always provided a place of grounding for me. After years of traveling around the country for my career, we found a beautiful piece of Louisiana to call home with plenty of land to fish, relax in nature, and enjoy a huge crawfish boil with our friends and family!
