What Is HYDROVITON?
HYDROVITON is a trademarked complex designed to replicate the skins natural moisturising factor (NMF). It contains the precise blend of amino acids and humectants found in healthy, well-hydrated skin.
The NMF is responsible for maintaining skin hydration and flexibility. When NMF levels decline due to age, environment, or harsh products, skin becomes dry, rough, and more prone to sensitivity.
This complex replenishes these essential hydrating components, restoring the skins natural ability to attract and hold moisture.
