INTRODUCING FOR SPRING MOISTURE SURGE INTENSE SKIN FORTIFYING HYDRATOR IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN, MEET A LIFE-CHANGER BY CLINIQUE, ONE OF OUR FAVORITES!
You may think we have entered the land of sun and fun Manhattan, but we're going to stop you right there. It may be March and we may have had a Happy St. Patrick's Day loaded with moisture in glasses, but you must remember jovial times with cocktails are not the best for your skin and even though winter seems to be over, you cannot forget about hydration for your skin. We turn to one of our tested and true favorites, Clinique, for a springtime solution to keep your skin moisturized and happy, just like their fragrance. In 1988 Clinique launched Moisture Surge, an innovative new franchise specially-designed to address dry skin. Clearly they were thinking ahead because in the years since its inception, the need for products to address dry skin has only grown.
For drier and more delicate skins in need of intense hydration, Clinique introduces Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator. This rich cream-gel was designed to satisfy the needs of those looking for elevated moisturizing benefits by offering a one-two punch – maximum hydration plus moisture barrier repair technology. After just three days of use, clinical tests show that skin’s moisture barrier is dramatically strengthened and improved. Skin is left with a healthy, dewy, supple look and stays comfortably plumped for up to 24 hours.
BETTER BARRIER, HAPPIER SKIN
The first step towards healthy, moisturized skin is achieving a stronger and better-supported moisture barrier. The moisture barrier is made up of lipids produced naturally in the skin and serves two functions: it helps the skin retain moisture and is the body’s first line of defense against environmental aggressors. Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator contains barrier strengthening and repair ingredients to reduce water loss and to help rebuild the skin, bringing it back into a healthy balance.
CLINICALLY PROVEN
Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator not only immediately hydrates the skin, it also delivers maximum results over time. In just 8 weeks skin’s moisture is increased by over 40 percent and barrier strength is increased by over 70 percent.
TWO-PRONGED SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
1. Maximum Hydration through a powerful cocktail of ingredients that work synergistically to attract, retain and bind moisture to the skin.
Olive Squalane: human skin naturally produces small amounts of squalane to keep skin hydrated. As we age, squalane production decreases and the skin requires additional squalane to maintain the skin's delicate moisture balance.
Ahnfeltia Concinna Extract: this water-binding red algae extract adds suppleness to the living layers of the skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate: by attracting and binding moisture to the top layers of the skin, it provides both immediate and long-term moisturization benefits.
Glycerin: a tried-and-true humectant that attracts and binds moisture to the skin.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: gently and effectively softens and soothes the skin.
2. Moisture Barrier Repair Technology that works in two ways – first with a protective, emollient layer on the skin’s surface and second by promoting increased production of essential lipids within the moisture barrier.
Cholesterol: this skin-friendly lipid naturally attracts to other lipids found within the skin that assist in the immediate repair of the moisture barrier.
Pyridoxine Dipalmitate (Vitamin B6): increases the production of natural ceramides, which are key components of the moisture barrier. Adding ceramides helps to speed up the process of barrier repair and increases barrier strength.
Linoleic Acid: a natural component of the moisture barrier that provides immediate repair benefits.
Wheat (Triticum Vulgare) Bran Extract/ Olive (Olea Europaea) Extract: these natural extracts help to repair the lipid barrier from the surface, increasing moisture retention.
A luxurious cream which instantly leaves the skin with a velvety soft feel, Moisture Surge Intense Skin Fortifying Hydrator is to be applied in the morning or at night, after the appropriate 3-Step Skin Care Regimen, and is intended primarily for skin types 1 and 2. Available at Clinique counters nationwide and at Clinique.com for a suggested retail price of $36.00.
