    Balancing HypoTonic

    BETA-GLUCAN + d-PANTHENOL penetrate lipid layer to rehydrate, rebalance microflora + skin pH.

    Size

    This tonic hydrates via a unique process designed to balance the liquid content of skin cells with the lipids that surround them; and in so doing it provides necessary support for the stratum corneum to be self sufficient.

    The stratum corneum contains multiple layers of flattened cells (corneocytes), encased in a thick coating of fat or lipids. Arranged into pairs of sheets (lamellar membranes), these lamellar lipid bi-layers fill spaces between the cells, providing a formidable barrier to the outflow of water from skin (transepidermal water loss).

    Most water-based moisturizers/hydrators seep into the lamellar layers of the SC, leaching water from skin cells—potentially why conventional mists or toners can leave skin more dehydrated. Our biomimetic design has produced a one-of-a-kind tonic, composed of humectants with distinctive similarity to the skin’s lamellar structure. Since maintaining lamellar membrane integrity also protects the contents of the skin cells, the tonic not only promotes liquid/lipid balances, it also restores and improves overall barrier function.

    Benefits

    Unique blend of humectants truly hydrate by maintaining moisture levels within the cellular/lamellar structures.

    Imperative to prep top skin layers, allowing optimum permeation of nutrient-rich serums.

    AHAs rebalance pH, pre/probiotics rebalance skin microbiome.

    Ingredients

    BETA GLUCAN excellent polysaccharide humectant that penetrates into the deeper lamellar structures of the SC.

    d-PANTHENOL Pro-vitamin B5 promotes wound healing, helps restore damaged epithelium, reduces inflammation, improves skin hydration, reduces transepidermal water loss, improves skin roughness.

    SODIUM HYALURONATE disaccharide occurring naturally in skin, a major component of the dermis, maintaining its moisture and elasticity. Holds up to 1000x its weight in water—a powerful humectant.

      Don’t go a day without!

      All the Marie Veronique products make me feel special - because I know am doing exactly what my skin needs. And when I use them - whether cleansing with the oil or applying a serum - I close my eyes, try to slow down and fully embrace the experience - my skin drinks in those nutrients like a tall glass of cold water on a hot day.

      There is not one day I go without the Balancing Hypotonic - I start my morning skin care with it, calming yet refreshing, prepping my skin to soak up the morning serum and the Daily Protective Oil. Over the years, due to using these delicious products, I’ve been able to use less makeup and more MV!! Marie Veronique on my skin daily is way more valuable than heavy makeup and foundation and blush and powder - and my healthy glowing skin, on which I receive consistent compliments - is the undeniable proof! Thank you, MV!

      Skin Game Changer

      This product was my MV gateway product. I have dry, dehydrated, and acne-prone skin, and before using this, I struggled to find a product that didn’t sting my skin upon application.

      When I heard about Balancing HypoTonic, I decided to give it a try. At first, it would sting a little upon application, but with consistent use, it completely transformed my skin (and no longer stung with application). Now, my skin feels balanced, hydrated, healthy, and my acne is fully under control.

      I first started using this product in 2020, and while I’ve tried other toners over the years, nothing compares—I always come back to Balancing HypoTonic.

      Love it!

      I've been using the Pre and Probiotic Daily Mist for years. My daughter suggested I change to the HypoTonic and I love it! My skin doesn't feel tight or dry at all.

      My Skin Says Yes

      This toner has helped minimize my pores and balance my dry, sensitive skin. I keep it in my skincare fridge and it is so refreshing when I apply it.
