Hydration: a tale of oil and water
Depending on whether it is dry or dehydrated, the skin may benefit from the use of emollients or humectants—each contributes to improving hydration, in their own way.

Our hydrators are designed to address dryness or dehydration—or sometimes both—via quality ingredients. Many are rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants.
Dry skin lacks sebum—the oil produced by sebaceous glands. Lipid-based emollients nourish, smooth and soften skin that feels patchy, flaky, rough or tight.
Dehydrated skin lacks moisture. It may appear dull, and in need of replenishment—humectants, which draw water to the skin’s surface, provide and boost hydration.
Among their multifarious benefits, emollients and humectants support the skin’s barrier properties and boost its moisture levels within, respectively.
Our hydrators are rich in these efficacious, essential ingredients—their benefits are best reaped with judicious and regular use on cleansed and toned skin.
Here, light humectant hydration—ideal for dehydrated skin—is boosted by potent doses of Provitamin B5 and Vitamin C. Imbued with a unique, honey-like texture, the gel is best warmed between palms and then massaged onto the face until absorbed.
The humectants and anti-oxidants in this formulation make for a highly replenishing serum. Simply massage the surprisingly lightweight hydrator into freshly cleansed and toned skin.
