How Good Science Beauty’s 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream Works
The 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream is quick absorbing and formulated with ingredients that successfully hydrate and plump skin.
While it is called a hydrating cream, it is also a very successful anti-aging cream. Our clinical studies showed up to 94% reduction in fine line and wrinkle appearance in 28 days.
The Importance of Hydration For Keeping Skin Young
Hydration is not only essential for maintaining overall health, but it also plays a vital role in preserving the youthful appearance of our skin. In fact, hydration is very important in achieving a radiant and age-defying complexion. By keeping our skin adequately moisturized, we can combat common signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness.
By replenishing our skin's moisture levels through topical hydration, we can address these concerns and promote a refreshed and youthful complexion. Topical hydrators, such as moisturizers and serums, work by delivering a surge of hydration to the skin's outermost layers, helping to retain moisture and restore its natural plumpness. This not only enhances the skin's elasticity and suppleness but also creates a smooth and luminous base for makeup application.
It is important to use a hydrating skincare cream with purposeful ingredients so you can see noticeable results. Here is how our 003- Hy Hydrating Cream works to effectively hydrate and plump your skin.
How Good Science Beauty’s 003-Hy Hydrating Cream Works
The purposeful ingredients in this hydrating cream work together to deliver hydration, plumping, and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The two main ingredients in our hydrating cream, Marine Omega-3 and Hyaluronic Acid, are both important ingredients for your skin health. Alone, they are fantastic ingredients, but together they are an even more powerful partnership.
Let’s look deeper into these ingredients.
Marine Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3s are very important for your overall health and skin health. Omega-3’s are Fatty Acids which are essential energy sources and membrane constituents. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are not only used as energy sources for our cells, but they also can reduce the risk of blood clotting and reduce inflammation.
In addition to your health, they have been proven to have transformative effects on the skin, addressing a wide range of concerns and working in harmony with topical hydration. The DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) in fish oils are found to be more effective fatty acids than plant-derived ALA (alpha-linolenic acid).
Omega-3’s have been shown to improve skin barrier function and seal in moisture. This can also minimize skin irritation.
Marine Omega-3’s also help prevent premature aging and promote healthy cell membranes, resulting in soft, supple, and wrinkle-free skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant naturally present in our skin, helping to maintain its moisture levels and keep it looking plump and youthful.
One of the key advantages of hyaluronic acid is its incredible ability to retain moisture. It has the capacity to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it a superb ingredient for providing intense hydration to the skin. As we age, our skin's natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to a loss of moisture and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. By incorporating hyaluronic acid into our skincare routine, we can replenish this essential compound and restore our skin's natural hydration levels.
Hyaluronic acid also has the ability to plump and firm the skin, giving it a more youthful and radiant appearance. When applied topically, hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin's surface and works to improve its texture and elasticity. It helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, while also promoting the production of collagen, the protein responsible for maintaining the skin's structural integrity. By harnessing the power of hyaluronic acid, you can combat the signs of aging and achieve a more vibrant complexion.
One of the best things about hyaluronic acid is how versatile it is plus how it can benefit all skin types. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, incorporating hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine can help balance and nourish your complexion. It works by attracting water molecules to the skin's surface, ensuring optimal hydration without clogging the pores or causing any greasiness. This makes hyaluronic acid a valuable addition to any skincare regimen, providing a boost of moisture and radiance to every individual's unique skin needs.
Different Kinds of Hyaluronic Acid
There are three different types of hyaluronic acid found in skincare: hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, and sodium hyaluronate
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is hyaluronic acid that has been broken down into elements small enough for skin. It is not the most moisturizing form of hyaluronic acid.
Sodium acetylated hyaluronate is similar to the sodium hyaluronate form, but might be better for those in a dryer climate or with extra dry skin.
Sodium hyaluronate is the form that goes deepest into skin and provides the best results. The lower molecular weight of Sodium Hyaluronate makes it more effective at penetrating the skin’s top layer.
The 003-Hy Hydrating Cream Uses Sodium Hyaluronate
Good Science Beauty uses a low molecular weight Sodium Hyaluronate, which is easier to absorb than high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, and Good Silicon+® ensures optimal slow release (more on this below).
With our 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream you are getting the best hyaluronic acid delivered effectively to your skin.
The Power Partnership Between Marine Omega-3 and Hyaluronic Acid
These ingredients are powerful individually, but they also benefit each other. Marine Omega-3’s help strengthen the skin barrier, locking in the moisture from the Hyaluronic Acid.
How The Active Ingredients in 003-Hy Hydrating Cream Get To Your Skin
How the ingredients get to your skin is what makes a skincare product actually work. And what makes Good Science Beauty Products unique is our patented Good Silicon+® technology.
Good Silicon+ delivers fresh and effective ingredients exactly where they’re needed and releases them over time as it slowly dissolves into orthosilicic acid (the form of silicon your body can absorb), which has been shown to be good for collagen production and skin health.
Good Silicon+ allows for the Marine Omega-3 (derived from sustainable European fish sources) in the 003-Hy Cream to have no unpleasant odor. This makes the 003-Hy Cream unique. Other skincare products with Omega-3 use less effective plant-based Omega-3 to avoid any bad smell.
How To Use The 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream
Use the hydrating face cream twice per day after cleansing your face. Apply one to two pumps of product onto your fingers and apply all your face and neck in circular motions.
Combining 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream With Other Good Science Beauty Creams
Due to how quickly Good Science Beauty creams absorb into your skin, you can layer as many creams as you would like in any order. Each cream has the same base and texture, so the order you apply them won’t matter.
For optimal anti-aging, the 003-Hy Cream can be combined with the 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream. You can find them together in our Firm + Hydrate Duo. After cleansing, apply the 003-Hy Hydrating Cream all over your face. Allow it to dry, then apply the 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream all over your face. This duo hydrates, plumps, works on wrinkles, and promotes collagen synthesis.
You can also combine the 003-Hy Hydrating Face Cream with the Hydrating Facial. Check out our Firm Up Trio which comes with the 003-Hydrating Face Cream, 005-Fi Skin Firming Cream, and the 003-Hy Hydrating Facial. To use this Trio, apply the Hydrating Face Cream after cleansing all over the face. Allow it to dry, then apply the Skin Firming Cream all over your face, then allow it to dry. A few nights per week, top with the Hydrating Facial before going to bed. When you wake up, rinse your face with warm water and pat dry.
