Hydrolyzed lupine protein boosts cellular activity and the skin’s natural resurfacing systems, improves barrier function, and protects against skin damage and environmental stress. Clinical studies show up to a 13% reduction in trans epidermal water loss after 14 days of use of this ingredient. Xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol, and xylitol have also been shown to dramatically improve epidermal water content by increasing the skin’s dermal water reservoirs. Two additional plant-based ingredients provide hydration and revitalize the skin: trehalose protects skin fibroblasts from dehydration by protecting the water in cell tissues, while sodium hyaluronate mimics the structure of hyaluronic acid, a necessary constituent in body tissues whose function is to retain water. A number of powerful extracts provide antioxidant benefits and improve cell turnover for faster skin renewal, including Camellia sinensis and sea buckthorn fruit.

Use: Apply generously to face, neck, and décolleté. Massage for 30 seconds, then leave on for 10-15 minutes (or overnight, for intense hydration); remove with warm water.
