The Secret to Hydrating Your Skin for 24 Hours Straight

Dry skin is a total dragyour face feels tight and itchy, makeup goes on unevenly, and no matter what cocktail of moisturizers, serums, and mists you apply, nothing changes. But its not about how much product you layer onit's about whats in it. Marcelle may have found the magic combination of moisturizing ingredients in its Hydra-C skincare line: The formulas pack the one-two punch of vitamin C, which protects your skin from harsh external stressors, and vitamin E to help prevent dryness and keep moisture locked in for a full 24 hours.

Daylong hydration starts with the Gentle Self-Foaming Cleanser, which removes impurities without stripping moisture. Turn over dead skin cells with the Facial Exfoliating Gel, made with smooth, crystalized jojoba microbeads that are gentle on flaky skin and help clear out buildup so your moisturizing products can absorb faster. Then treat your sensitive eye area to a light pat of the caffeine- and cucumber-infused Eye Contour Gel-Cream to reduce puffiness and mute dark circles.

Now your skin is ready for the real 24-hour secret weapon: Marcelles Energizing Hydrating Gel. The lightweight, cooling formula is loaded with antioxidants to restore and strengthen the skins protective barrier, helping it retain hydration for longer. The brand even ran tests to show that people who used this gel retained moisture for longer than those who used traditional creams. So you can toss your makeshift moisturizing cocktail and head out for a real one instead.
