4.5.6 Skin Night Hack

Effective hydration requires an understanding of skin’s unique characteristics. The Stratum Corneum (the outer layer of skin) is denser for Fitzpatrick phototypes IV, V and VI (aka darker skin tones). This density provides a natural bonus with more collagen and elastin, but makes nourishing its deeper layers challenging. When skin is dehydrated, it loses its natural antioxidant powers, and the increase in oxidative stress can manifest as hyperpigmentation (as opposed to wrinkles or sagging skin more common in phototypes I, II, and III).

Night Hack uses a targeted, vectorized approach to penetrate the skin effectively without irritants, nano-plastics, or silicones that can block absorption. This effective but gentle overnight formula has been carefully considered to hack skin’s thicker stratum corneum layer, reaching its deepest layers and supporting the natural nightly process of renewal and repair.

The unique formula strikes a critical balance to address the increased inflammatory response of phototypes IV, V, and VI using a combination of actives, oils and natural remedies. Bioactive compounds target inflammation caused by dryness, while precision-targeted ingredients work to reduce extracellular melanin, brightening the complexion and promoting a more even skin tone. Night Hack also boosts skin’s antioxidant capacity, fortifying resilience against damage from oxidative stress.
