Luxury 3-step regimen to hydrate, smooth & restore skin vitality
The AUTEUR Definitive Exploration Set – Hydrate delivers a complete, high-performance routine to replenish moisture, enhance elasticity, and protect against environmental stress. Curated from the brand’s award-winning Definitive Collection, this three-step system combines the Definitive Enzyme Cleanser, Definitive Hyaluronic Activator, and Definitive Density Cream. Together, they gently exfoliate, rehydrate, and restore the skin barrier, leaving the complexion balanced, luminous, and comforted. Each formula incorporates bioactive peptides, Liquid Oxygen Technology, and multi-weight hyaluronic acids for immediate and lasting hydration.
Ideal for dry, dehydrated, or fatigue-prone skin, this trio revitalizes tone and texture through AUTEUR’s signature cellular-level technology. The Enzyme Cleanser gently resurfaces with vitamin C and enzymes, preparing skin to absorb the Hyaluronic Activator’s intense moisture complex. The Density Cream then seals hydration, smoothing fine lines and improving firmness. Skin feels plump, radiant, and resilient—an effortless introduction to AUTEUR’s high-active skincare philosophy.
