Balancing HypoTonic
If the oil cleanser is a new way to think about cleansing, the Hypotonic is a new way to think about hydrating. It works by balancing the liquid content of skin cells and the lamellar structures surrounding them. Most water-based moisturizers leak into the interstices of the skin and actually leach water from skin cells, which is why conventional mists or toners can leave skin feeling more, rather than less, dehydrated. Our biomimetic design has produced a one-of- a-kind tonic, composed of humectants with distinctive similarities to the make-up of the skin’s lamellar structures. The tonic balances moisture content in the skin, leaving it feeling soft and dewy.

BETA-GLUCAN + d-PANTHENOL penetrate lipid layer to rehydrate, rebalance microflora + skin pH.

Size

This tonic hydrates via a unique process designed to balance the liquid content of skin cells with the lipids that surround them; and in so doing it provides necessary support for the stratum corneum to be self sufficient.

The stratum corneum contains multiple layers of flattened cells (corneocytes), encased in a thick coating of fat or lipids. Arranged into pairs of sheets (lamellar membranes), these lamellar lipid bi-layers fill spaces between the cells, providing a formidable barrier to the outflow of water from skin (transepidermal water loss).

Most water-based moisturizers/hydrators seep into the lamellar layers of the SC, leaching water from skin cells—potentially why conventional mists or toners can leave skin more dehydrated. Our biomimetic design has produced a one-of-a-kind tonic, composed of humectants with distinctive similarity to the skin’s lamellar structure. Since maintaining lamellar membrane integrity also protects the contents of the skin cells, the tonic not only promotes liquid/lipid balances, it also restores and improves overall barrier function.

BENEFITS

Unique blend of humectants truly hydrate by maintaining moisture levels within the cellular/lamellar structures.

Imperative to prep top skin layers, allowing optimum permeation of nutrient-rich serums.

AHAs rebalance pH, pre/probiotics rebalance skin microbiome.

INGREDIENTS

    Transformational

    I started using the Hypotonic, Pure+E.O. Cleanser, Vit. C+E Serum, Barrier Restore Serum about a year ago, and most recently the Multi Retinol Night Emulsion, and the skin on my face has been transformed from a spotted, dull, dry, definitely aging one into a dewy, glowy, rejuvenated one. I am a happy devotee!

    Balancing hypotonic review

    I love this product. Sometimes I fall off of my regime and my skin looks dull. This coupled with barrier restore serum, as well as vitamin B three serum brings my skin back to life almost after the first years. It is absolutely an essential in my medicine cabinet.

    surprisingly likeable

    I have to admit I'm not a big believer in tonics... but this was recommended to me in my MV consultation, and it did make a noticable difference in my skin when I added it in to my regimen. I use it in the morning only, followed by a serum and sunscreen. I'm surprised how much dead skin comes off on the cotton pad considering I do oil cleansing and my face doesn't really flake or peel! I've also never used a toner that feels moisturizing, but this one somehow does. None of that drying/alcohol feeling of other tonics. MV for the win again!
