A Perfect Synergy of Science: 

When it comes to skincare, it’s not just about putting anything on your skin just because someone says you should, it’s about understanding how those products will work to transform and nourish your skin. We’re diving deep into the science behind The Balance. You’ll discover the remarkable blend of ingredients and the innovative formulation that makes this unique gel moisturiser an essential cog in your skincare wheel.

 

The Balance Unveiled

The Balance is not your ordinary gel moisturiser. It’s the result of meticulous research and advanced formulation, tailored to address a range of common skin concerns. The science behind The Balance is what sets it apart, making it more than just a moisturiser. It’s a skin-nourishing solution. Let’s embark on a journey into the intricate world of skincare science.

 

The Role of Hydration in Skincare

Understanding Skin Dehydration

Before we delve into the specifics of The Balance’s science, let’s talk about why hydration is crucial for your skin. Dehydrated skin can lead to a range of issues, from dryness and tightness to an increased likelihood of fine lines and premature ageing appearance.

 

What the “H” are Humectants?

Humectants are a category of ingredients that play a significant role in skincare. These substances have the unique ability to attract and hold moisture from the environment and deeper layers of the skin in the top-most layer of skin. They ensure your skin remains adequately hydrated.

 

The Power of Probiotics

Understanding the Skin Microbiome

Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide various health benefits when applied to the skin. The Balance contains probiotics which contribute to a balanced skin microbiome so that you don’t have too many ‘bad’ bacteria running loose and free and creating havoc with your barrier. A balanced microbiome is crucial for a healthy and radiant complexion.

 

How Probiotics Work

Probiotics work by promoting the growth beneficial bacteria on the skin, helping to maintain the skin’s natural defence and reducing inflammation. They also play a role in supporting the skin’s barrier primary function: protecting it from external aggressors (harmful microorganisms like bacteria and viruses; chemicals and toxins in the environment; ultraviolet radiation from the sun; dehydration; physical trauma; and environmental pollution).

The Magic of Niacinamide

The Versatile Benefits of Niacinamide

Niacinamide (also known as vitamin B3) is a powerhouse ingredient in The Balance. It’s known for its versatility in skincare, addressing a variety of concerns, including improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of pores and enhancing the skin’s barrier function.

Niacinamide’s Impact on the Skin Barrier

Niacinamide strengthens the skin’s barrier, which is vital in preventing moisture loss and external irritants from penetrating the skin. A well-maintained skin barrier results in a healthier, more radiant complexion.

Peptides: The Building Blocks of Youthful Skin

Peptides and Skin Renewal

Peptides are small chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that play a crucial role in skin health. The Balance incorporates peptides to support skin renewal and combat the signs of ageing. The work by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity.

Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Peptides target fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother and more youthful appearance. When included in a skincare product like The Balance, they offer a non-invasive approach to achieving more youthful skin.
