Vitamin C brightens the skin and promotes collagen production, while resveratrol offers powerful antioxidant protection, helping to neutralize the free radicals that can accelerate aging. This combination not only improves the appearance of fine lines but also strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, giving you a more youthful complexion.

When your skin’s moisture is out of balance, its barrier can become compromised.

Hydration is key to maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion, and the Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® HA + Ceramide Hydrator is the perfect remedy for parched skin. Hyaluronic acid is the star ingredient here, known for its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. This Skin Booster not only hydrates but also plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Ceramides help to restore and maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it perfect for those with dry or dehydrated skin. The result? Skin that feels soft, supple, and deeply hydrated.


Benefit: Repairs skin barrier an increase hydration


Ingredient Boost: Hyaluronic acid (HA)

Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as sodium hyaluronate, is a popular humectant that can hold more than 1,000 times its weight in water. This means it acts like a sponge, holding onto water molecules to keep skin looking plump and healthy.


There are 2 forms of HA that work together to combat dry skin:

  • Low molecular weight HA penetrates the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin. It delivers critical moisture directly to the skin, plumping it from within.

  • High molecular weight HA sits on the surface of the skin, providing protection and plumping from the outside.


Ceramide is a critical component of the stratum corneum and is essential for moisture retention .

  • Skin-mimicking ceramide helps improve skin hydration and supports barrier function.


Verbena officinalis extract enhances natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which improves skin hydration and barrier function, essential for protection against free radicals and water loss.

  • Boosts the skin's NMF production, allowing the stratum corneum to remain hydrated by absorbing moisture from the air.
