The Research

The vitality and beauty of human skin are closely connected to the health and resilience of its outermost layer.

Ensuring optimal hydration is critical, as the constant reinforcement of barrier function and moisturisation supports skin suppleness, rejuvenation, health and function.

B-Group Vitamins support skin resilience, assisted by anti-inflammatory rich botanical extracts including Betaine, Allantoin and Glycyrrhetinic Acid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is #1 The Hydragel suitable for?
Plus
Minus

#1 The Hydragel is suitable for all clients. However, clients with sensitized skin or those in hot, humid climates may find it ideal to incorporate the cooling, soothing gel Formulation into their Essential Six Rituals.

For Clients new to RATIONALE or active skincare, this may serve as a suitable stepping stone in establishing their Essential Six Ritual.

Does #1 The Hydragel replace #1 The Serum or #1 The Crème?
Plus
Minus

#1 The Hydragel can be used in conjunction with these Formulations but does not directly replace them. Some clients, especially those in hot, humid climates, may prefer to use it instead of #1 The Serum for morning hydration while still benefiting from the skin resilience provided by our B-Group Vitamin Complex.

What are the benefits of the B-Group Vitamin Complex?
Plus
Minus

This unique Complex of B-Group Vitamins boosts skin immunity by enhancing the resilience of skin cells and strengthening the barrier function. Skin appears calmer as redness and irritation are reduced.

Is #1 The Hydragel suitable for those with eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea?
Plus
Minus

#1 The Hydragel is suitable for those experiencing symptoms of eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea, such as redness, dehydration, and irritation.

What is the difference between #1 Hydragel and #2 Hydragel?
Plus
Minus

The main differences between #1 The Hydragel and #2 The Hydragel lie in their ingredients and functions. #1 The Hydragel supports skin barrier defence with a Complex of B-Group Vitamins, while #2 The Hydragel defends skin from oxidative stress with the power of Antioxidants.

How does #1 The Hydragel fit into my Ritual?
Plus
Minus

#1 The Hydragel is applied in the AM following your serums and before applying crèmes and SPF.

How is our B-Group Vitamin Complex superior to Niacinamide?
Plus
Minus

The B-group Vitamin Complex found in the Resilience Collection delivers a broader range of benefits to the skin compared to Niacinamide alone. This enhances the Formulations' ability to target various skin types and conditions.

What is the difference between a serum and a hydragel?
Plus
Minus

A serum is primarily water-based, offering a light consistency and quick delivery. On the other hand, hydragels, while lightweight, contain a combination of water and oil, resulting in a slower delivery.
