Hydroviton.CR corrects skin that looks and feels 1) gray, dry, flaky, itchy, 2) oily shortly after washing, 3) marked by the lesions and redness of acne, 4) pitted by large pores, 5) unusually sensitive, or any combination of these symptoms.

Skin can look gray and blotchy, feel dry and itchy, or be slick and oily — often at the same time — due to age, exposure, and hormones.

The unsightly lesions, redness, and pain of acne afflict 90 percent of adolescents, especially males, plus females at any age during times of hormonal disturbance.

Witness dramatic improvement from the first application by cleansing daily.

These micro-spheres of organic liposome, each 200 times smaller than a human skin cell, carry active ingredients deep below the surface of the skin where they dissolve slowly for maximum performance.

This outer wall of the epidermis consists of 12-16 layers of corneocytes (bricks) embedded in a continuous lamellar lipid bilayer (mortar).

These ingredients induce desquamation (exfoliation) of the mature corneocytes that make skin gray, blotchy, dry, and itchy.

Azelaic acid inhibits the formation of acneform lesions to clarify pores and restore healthy color.

This brown seaweed extract elevates complexion radiance by stimulating adenosine triphosphate, the currency of biological energy.

This kudzu root extract dampens the body's natural inflammatory response.

This ingredient retains cutaneous moisture, even under arid conditions.

Attached to each hair follicle, a multi-lobed sebaceous gland coats hair and skin with sebum, a protective mixture of glycerides, free fatty acids, wax, and squalene.

Hyperseborrhea, an abnormal level of sebum discharge, results mainly from an abnormal level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) within sebaceous glands.

Hyperkeratinization, the over-production of skin protein, combines with excess sebum to form blackheads and whiteheads, which plug and distend follicles.

"Acne" describes an inflammation of the pilosebaceous follicle, primarily on the face, chest, and back.

Ordinary dry skin is characterized by a thick dense stratum corneum. Hydroviton.CR induces desquamation (exfoliation) to allow fresh cells to emerge.

The normal injury response — marked by capillary dilatation, leukocytic infiltration, redness, heat, and pain — follows the rupture of acneform lesions.

Three major factors cause acne: 1) hyperseborrhea, 2) hyperkeratinization, and 3) the body's natural inflammatory response.

Hydroviton.CR performs in five major ways: dissolution of acneform lesions, desquamation of corneocytes, intense moisturizing, increased complexion radiance, and anti-inflammation.

The multifaceted attack against hyperseborrhea, hyperkeratinization, and inflammation means less greasiness, redness, and pain, plus fewer unsightly pimples, finer pores, and smoother skin.

These flat, dead, nonnucleated cells of the stratum corneum, each 1 µm thick, are filled with keratin protein.

Unlike soaps, moisturizers, or toners, Hydroviton.CR perfects the skin through multiple pathways, to reclaim its youthful color, smooth texture, and calm demeanor.

Cutting-edge compounds target the gray, blotchy, dry, itchy symptoms of hyperkeratinization. Others purge the lesions, redness, and pain of acne.

Hydroviton.CR evacuates the excess sebum, keratin, and environmental pollutants that clog and dilate pores.

To retain moisture under arid conditions, Hydroviton.CR incorporates saccharide isomerate, which binds to keratin and persists even when common humectants cannot.

During hyper-hormonal events, Hydroviton.CR inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, thus reducing dihydrotestosterone, hyperseborrhea, and acne.

Alpha-hydroxy acids diminish corneocyte cohesion at a deeper level, thinning the surface of skin, improving its flexibility, evening its color, and allowing it to glow.

The cleanser incorporates kudzu root extract, shown to convey anti-inflammatory properties.

DS Laboratories has done extensive research on the histology of skin, pathogenesis of acne, and successful treatment of it.

Nanosome-encapsulated azelaic acid 1) dissolves lesions and clears follicles, 2) reduces sebum, and 3) inhibits bacterial flora.

In Hydroviton.CR, these second-generation liposomal vesicles potentiate their active ingredients by penetrating skin deeper and releasing compounds slower.

Types are 1) covalent bonds, in which atoms share electrons, and 2) ionic bonds, which rely on the negative and positive charges of atoms. Excessive bonding leads to hyperkeratinization and pathogenesis.
