Beauty ThinkersHydrator 3 Barrier Support, 1 oz.

Return to vibrancy.

Dull, lifeless skin? Restore it. Rich in biotechnological Ceramides and our star ingredient, HT (Hydroxytyrosol). Support and help protect your skin barrier for a noticeable vibrant appearance. A soft and silky texture, like a cuddle of the skin.

What is the skin barrier? It is found in the superficial layer of the epidermis and has two very critical functions:

• Protects us from external aggressors; and
• Seals-in moisture.

Do you experience sensations of irritation, dullness, roughness, dehydration, and dryness? These are the typical signs of a damaged skin barrier. If damaged, the skin becomes vulnerable – external threats can enter and hydration can escape.

HY3 (Hydrator 3) is a nourishing antioxidant treatment to help support and protect the skin barrier and counteract the signs of damage. Use nightly as an overnight mask to directly support and protect the skin barrier.
