Luxe Hydration Duo

Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, this therapeutic botanical boosts moisture while encouraging healthy cell regeneration.

One of the only, truly non-comedogenic natural oils, safflower oil is rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid to lightly moisturize and improve the integrity of your skin.

A moisture magnet with the ability to attract 1000 times its weight in water, our multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid draws moisture on a cellular level to plump up the skin, infusing each skin cell with essential and rejuvenating hydration.

Known as a skin protectant, panthenol calms inflammation, increases hydration, improves skin elasticity, and promotes wound healing to restore a healthy functioning skin barrier.

These essential skin lipids are proven to increase skin hydration and lock in moisture to support and maintain healthy skin and optimal barrier function.

Collagen stimulating and soothing, this botanical helps make skin softer, more resilient, and hydrated.

While these terms are generally used interchangeably, they are quite different as the skin requires both water moisture and oil moisture to function properly.

The terms “hydration” or “hydrating” refer to providing the skin with water moisture, which generally comes from an alcohol-free toner, like our Calm Down Toner, or humectants, like our Skin Quencher Gel or Dew Drops Serum.

The terms “moisturizer” or “moisturizing” refer to oil moisture which is essential to bind the water moisture in the skin as it is notorious for evaporating, leaving the skin dry and vulnerable.

In order for a humectant to draw moisture into the skin, it needs a moisture source to pull from. While using Skin Quencher Gel on dry skin will somewhat help to hydrate the skin, for best results, it’s important to use Skin Quencher Gel on damp skin. Tap water contains harsh chemicals and drying minerals, so it’s best to source the water moisture from a hydrating toning, like our Calm Down Toner, before applying Skin Quencher Gel.

No, you can use the same moisturizer both day and night. Many companies offer moisturizers that are marketed as a day or night cream, but you just need one moisturizer which will equally benefit the skin at both times.

Often day creams contain sunscreen, which when diluted in a moisturizer, doesn’t give adequate protection to your skin. And night creams generally have active ingredients, such as retinol, which are buffered by the cream, making them less effective.

We believe it’s best that your moisturizer focuses on one job: locking moisture into your skin.

While our natural oil production lubricates the skin and prevents transepidermal water loss naturally, adding water moisture to the skin also helps to regulate the skin’s oil production, as it signals to the oil glands that the skin is balanced.

When oily skin is dehydrated (or water dry), it sends the oil glands into overdrive, producing excessive oil to try to compensate. This imbalance leads to flaky, tight, but incredibly oily skin. By using Skin Quencher Gel, the oil glands are regulated and the skin is balanced.
