Skinbetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment 50ml

Rich hydration without the weight, for dry and ageing skin

Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment is a patented moisturiser from Skinbetter Science that works in three ways at once: it draws water into the skin, replenishes the skin's own natural moisturising factors, and supports the barrier that keeps hydration in. The texture is light, so it suits people who want serious hydration without a heavy cream.

• For dry, dehydrated and compromised skin
• Urea, hyaluronic acid and natural moisturising factors
• Ceramides, cholesterol and essential fatty acids for the barrier
• Lightweight texture, morning and evening
• Fragrance free and paraben free

Why dry skin needs more than one kind of hydration

As skin ages, it makes fewer of its own natural moisturising factors and fewer barrier lipids. So it struggles both to attract water and to hold onto it. Most moisturisers do one of those jobs. Trio is designed to do both, which is why skin feels comfortable for longer.

What the evidence shows

In a dermatologist led clinical trial, 40 patients used Trio twice daily for 8 weeks. Skinbetter Science reports visible improvement in hydration from 2 weeks, and smoother skin with fewer visible fine lines from 4 weeks.

Who it is for

• Dry or dehydrated skin
• Skin that feels tight or rough
• Anyone using a retinoid who needs extra hydration
• Winter, when central heating dries skin out

What is in it

• Urea complex: intense moisturisation.
• Natural moisturising factors: sodium PCA and sodium lactate replenish the skin's own hydration system.
• Hyaluronic acid: holds moisture in the skin.
• Ceramides, cholesterol, linoleic and linolenic acids: support the skin barrier.
• Squalane: improves the look of suppleness.
• Aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate: a form of vitamin C that supports smoothness.
