Dehydration is one of the biggest concerns we see in our clinic.
Your skin contains around 15% water; it also has a Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF), containing Urea, Lactic acid, Sodium PCA, Hyaluronic Acid, and Lipids. Trauma, incorrect products, and ageing can knock the delicate ingredients in the NMF out of balance, causing your skin to become rough, inflamed, and prematurely aged.
Quench bridges this gap, formulated with intelligent ingredients that are identical to the ones that make up your NMF. At the ideal pH of 5.5, it helps regulate surface dryness and keep the delicate microflora of the acid mantle intact.
Dehydration is often a problem for those with oily-combination skin, causing the skin to produce more oil – it’s a vicious cycle. The addition of Zinc within the formula helps balance oil and minimise shine from excess sebum. The potent anti-microbial properties of Manuka help to keep pores clear, flushing out bacteria responsible for breakouts and acne. Canadian willowherb is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that calms redness and irritation, taking the fire out of the itch.
Tip: Use alone or layer on top of your H2O complex to create a luxurious, plumping, overnight mask. You’ll wake up to hydrated, bouncy, baby-soft skin. Follow the link to learn more about Urea’s importance in skin health.

Ingredients
Urea: Urea is a critical, moisture-regulating molecule. A reduction of as much as 50% of Urea can occur in dry skin, and for those with eczema, the loss is as much as 80%. Urea is also a natural keratolytic that gently sloughs off dead cells, smoothing fine lines to reveal a more youthful, radiant skin.
Manuka Extract: Scientifically proven to accelerate skin healing, Native Manuka has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. There is also impressive research into its efficacy against Cutibacterium acnes – the bacteria that causes acne.
Humectant blend: An electrolyte cocktail of unique hydration, including Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA, humectants that attract and bind water molecules to your skin. They are vital in maintaining moisture levels, improving the barrier function, soothing redness, and rehydrating dry skin.
Phospholipids: These are lipid molecules found between the skin cells and play a protective role in keeping your skin healthy and the protective barrier function intact.
Canadian Willowherb: A non-steroidal antibacterial that rebalances your skin’s immune response, addressing both immunogenic and neurogenic inflammation.

This is a wonderfully luxurious product! It is so soothing and hydrating. It has a slight natural rose scent but is not overpowering. I have been using it at nighttime and my skin is super soft as I wake. I will be incorporating it into my morning routine as winter approaches to add an extra layer of moisture.
