What it is and what it does
The Story
An innovation in skin nourishment and defense.
#2 The Hydragel offers the perfect synergy between hydration, rejuvenation and protection.
This comforting Skin Identical hydrator boasts innovative Ceramic Shield technology, providing a physical shield against environmental pollution by forming an ultrafine mesh of ceramic microspheres across the skin.
Hydration is restored and skin radiance is reactivated.
The Promise
• Forms a physical shield against environmental pollution exposure
• Skin feels more hydrated with a waterlight delivery system
• Defends against environmental oxidative stress
• Enhances skin firmness, elasticity and texture while restoring hydration
The Ritual
Smooth gently over face, neck, décolletage and backs of hands each morning.
Follow with your RATIONALE Essential Six formulations for day.
The Research
Bioactive vitamins, minerals, enzymes and proteins constitute the skin’s own powerful antioxidant network.
Daily exposure to sunlight and pollution generates damaging Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) and harmful free radicals, resulting in premature ageing of the skin.
Topical supplementation boosts the skin’s antioxidant and anti-glycation defenses, diminished throughout life due to ageing, solar and environmental damage. A novel ceramic microparticle shield enhances skin’s defenses against pollution and other environmental aggressors.
