Balancing HypoTonic

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

    But, the fragrance…

    Lauren, your aesthetician, convinced me to give it a try again and just ignore the smell (hence the 4 stars). I’m pretty sure it’s working along with your other products I use and Lauren’s good advice for me. I’ve always been seduced by the next great product that appears in my IG feed. I’ve been using MV virtually exclusively for a month now and noticed how much better my mature skin looked when I was on. FaceTime call last week. I am hooked. Thank you for fabulous products and excellent support.

    Only thing I’ll use!

    The price point is high, but I don’t know if anything that will safely and thoroughly clean out my pores this way. It feels and smells like luxury!

    Amazing

    The best toner I have ever used. I've dealt with sensitive skin and acne my whole life, but when I started using Marie Veronique products my fave has never been better. You get what you pay for and this is worth it!
