QR274.00
Cleanse, repair, and intensely hydrate the skin, resulting in a more plump, soothed, and healthy complexion.
A standard hydrating protocol typically includes:
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser: Gently washes away impurities while maintaining the skin's moisture barrier.
Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Plumps and rehydrates the skin by replenishing its natural moisture barrier.
Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer: Strengthens the skin's protective barrier and provides long-lasting hydration for up to 48 hours.
Cicaplast Baume B5: Soothes and repairs extremely dry, irritated, or sensitive skin.
Benefits of the hydrating protocol
The combination of products in a full hydrating routine provides multiple benefits for dehydrated and sensitive skin types.
Intense hydration and plumping
Immediate and long-lasting hydration: The Hyalu B5 serum delivers a potent dose of hyaluronic acid to visibly plump and hydrate the skin's surface and deeper layers. The Toleriane Double Repair moisturizer then locks in that moisture for up to 48 hours.
Repairs and restores moisture: The entire routine focuses on boosting and repairing the skin's moisture barrier, which helps to minimize dryness and flaking.
Soothing and repairing
Gentle on sensitive skin: All products within the protocol are formulated to be gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. They are often allergy-tested and fragrance-free.
Calms and comforts irritation: Ingredients like niacinamide, ceramide-3, and vitamin B5 work together to soothe the skin, reduce visible redness, and relieve discomfort.
Targets severe dryness and irritation: For very dry or sensitive areas, the Cicaplast Baume B5 can be used to specifically treat and protect chapped, chafed, and cracked skin on the face, body, and lips.
Strengthens the skin barrier
Supports the skin microbiome: The Toleriane products contain prebiotic thermal water, which supports a healthy skin microbiome. A balanced microbiome is essential for a strong protective barrier and overall skin health.
Protects against environmental aggressors: The combined use of these products helps reinforce the skin's barrier, protecting it from moisture loss and external stressors like pollution, extreme temperatures, and stress.
How to use the hydrating protocol
For best results, the routine should be followed in a specific order, from lightest to heaviest product.
Cleanse: Begin by cleansing your skin with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser to remove impurities and prepare the skin for the next steps.
Hydrate: Apply the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum to your face and neck to deliver intense hydration and plumping benefits.
Moisturize: Follow with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer to replenish and strengthen the skin barrier for long-lasting moisture.
Soothe (as needed): If you have areas of extreme dryness, redness, or irritation, apply the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 as a final step.
1. Cleanse
Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities from your face. A common product in such a kit is the La Roche-Posay Micellar Water Ultra or Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser.
How to use: If using Micellar Water, soak a cotton pad and gently wipe your face and eyes (no rinsing required). If using a rinse-off cleanser, lather a small amount with water, massage into the skin, and rinse thoroughly.
2. Apply Serum(s)
Apply your main facial serum to infuse hydration and repair the skin barrier. The La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Serum B5 or Hyalu B5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum are often included.
How to use: Apply a few drops (2-3) to your clean, dry or slightly damp face and neck. Gently pat the product into the skin until absorbed. Wait a minute before moving on to the next step.
3. Apply Eye Serum
Use a specialized serum for the delicate eye area. The kit often includes the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Eye Serum.
How to use: Apply 1 to 2 drops around the eye contour area. Gently massage it in using the applicator or your ring finger until absorbed.
4. Moisturize and Protect
Lock in all the moisture with a final cream or lotion, and always finish with sun protection in the morning. The kit might suggest a moisturizer like the Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer.
How to use (AM/PM): In the morning, apply a moisturizer (if needed) and an SPF 30+ sunscreen as the final step before sun exposure. In the evening, apply your moisturizer as the final step of your routine.
