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

BETA GLUCAN excellent polysaccharide humectant that penetrates into the deeper lamellar structures of the SC.

d-PANTHENOL Pro-vitamin B5 promotes wound healing, helps restore damaged epithelium, reduces inflammation, improves skin hydration, reduces transepidermal water loss, improves skin roughness.

SODIUM HYALURONATE disaccharide occurring naturally in skin, a major component of the dermis, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. Holds up to 1000x its weight in water—a powerful humectant.

LICORICE ROOT Anti-inflammatory botanical, skin-lightening properties.

SELENIUM Works with vitamin E to safeguard cell membranes by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Used to control Malassezia globose, a species of fungus that causes Tinea versicolor and hypopigmentation.

    Hypotonic

    Love, love, love the hypotonic. I was without it for awhile and really noticed a decrease in hydration. This is a must am and pm.

    dessert for skin, actually sweet if one accidentally gets on lips.

    this is a staple product, we layer it with b3 and night oil. facilitates the skin drinking in serum and night oil. lovely skin finish much smoother, puts ceramide in the shade.

    Broke me out

    Before I started using this product, I rarely got breakouts. I'd say my skin was fairly healthy and hydrated, and my skin barrier was intact. Unfortunately, I noticed when I started to use this product that my skin became inflamed. There were almost constantly a few breakouts on my skin—especially redness around my mouth. Once I stopped using it, my skin took a few days to get back to "normal" but now I don't have the breakouts/inflammation. I do still like Marie Veronique products (I use the B3 serum and the vitamin C serum and both work great) but clearly this product did not work for me. Not sure why, it just didn't.

    Doesn't do anything

    After 3 months of using the regime prescribed to me, I have never seen my skin so inflamed and clogged. I really like the values of Marie veronique but using these products has done nothing for me.
