Plump, dewy, deeply hydrated skin in one mask.
Your skin feels tight and thirsty, fine lines look deeper by evening, and makeup sits on top instead of melting in.
Restorative HA+ Masque floods skin with hydration so it looks plumper, smoother and dewy. It is a biocellulose sheet soaked in a serum of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture deep into the surface, with ceramides to support your barrier and allantoin and willow herb to keep skin calm. Five single use masques come in each box.
Who It Is For
Dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin, and skin that wants extra comfort post procedure.
Acne Safe
What You Will See, and When
Skin looks plumper and more hydrated as soon as the mask comes off. In a controlled study, regular use of hyaluronic acid creams improved hydration and elasticity within 30 days. That study tested hyaluronic acid creams, not this masque.
How to Use
Once or twice a week at night, after your retinoid and moisturizer. Unfold the masque, peel away the protective mesh on both sides and smooth it over your face, pressing it to fit your contours, then apply your eye cream as your final step. Leave it on overnight, then remove it and rinse your face in the morning.
The Science
Hyaluronic acid holds many times its weight in water, but size decides where it works. Large molecules stay on the surface and form a hydrating film, while hydrolyzed, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is small enough to move into the upper layers of skin and hydrate them from within.
In a randomized, controlled study of 76 women, creams with hyaluronic acid at five different molecular weights all improved skin hydration and elasticity compared with a plain cream. The lower weight versions also measurably reduced the depth of fine lines around the eyes after 60 days.
Questions
Where does it go in my routine?At night, over your retinoid and moisturizer, with eye cream as your final step. In the morning, remove it, rinse your face and carry on with your morning routine.
How often can I use it?Once or twice a week, or whenever your skin feels dry or tight.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?Yes. Hydrinity makes it for all skin types, including sensitive.
Why a Routine Made for You Works Better
General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.
Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.
Where that point sits depends on:
-
Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
-
Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
-
Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
-
Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
-
Your goals: what you most want to change
-
Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
-
Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
-
Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned
A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
