COLORESCIENCE® INTRODUCES BARRIER PRO™ COLLECTION: 1-STEP CLEANSER AND ESSENTIAL MOISTURIZER.

Colorescience

Colorescience®, a leading dermatologist-recommended specialty skincare company, is launching an innovative new collection of skin barrier-focused solutions, starting with two daily staples: Barrier Pro™ 1-Step Cleanser and Barrier Pro™ Essential Moisturizer. Developed in collaboration with skin health professionals, this powerful but gentle cleanser and innovative moisturizer help to enhance skin’s natural resilience and radiance by strengthening and maintaining the skin’s protective barrier. Colorescience Barrier Pro™ provides ultra-protective, skin barrier health achieved through intense multi-level hydration & moisture retention, a balanced microbiome, and free radical-fighting antioxidants. Skin starts and ends each day strengthened, supported and more resilient with the Colorescience Barrier Pro™ collection of products. Founder and medical director of Lucere Dermatology and Laser Clinic, and Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zaki Taher is impressed by the complete approach to improving the skin barrier. “ The integrity of the skin’s barrier is pivotal to its overall health, functioning as the foremost shield against environmental factors. Our current understanding underscores that maintaining the skin’s barrier necessitates more than mere hydration. It is gratifying to note that the Barrier Pro line takes a comprehensive approach to skin health by focusing not only on augmenting hydration levels but also on supporting the skin microbiome and bolstering its resilience. This multifaceted care is crucial for the skin’s capacity to adapt and respond to external aggressors, such as blue light exposure. Utilizing such advanced skincare solutions can significantly contribute to healthier, more robust skin.” Barrier Pro™ 1-Step Cleanser ($46) removes makeup and stubborn mineral sunscreen in a single step – no need to double cleanse. This was a must for Colorescience®, the experts in all-mineral sun protection. A multi-benefit skin barrier-boosting solution, this more-than-a-cleanser helps support skin’s microbiome with a first-of-its-kind, patented Lactobacillus Ferment, a probiotic-like ferment that creates balance by favoring the beneficial bacteria that make up the skin's microbiome and discouraging harmful bacteria. Pink Pomelo Grapefruit promotes gentle exfoliation for a softer, smoother texture without skin feeling stripped. Patricia Boland, Vice President of Research & Development at Colorescience® shares, “As a company that is known for our innovative all-mineral, water-resistant sunscreens, we have often been asked by consumers and our aesthetic professional partners how to best remove the layers of protection at the end of the day without harsh ingredients and multiple cleanses. Barrier Pro 1-Step Cleanser not only removes it all in a single step- it supports skin’s microbiome, improves resilience to damage, and leaves skin feeling hydrated, soothed and smooth. Used alongside Barrier Pro Essential Moisturizer, these upgraded staples transform skin in a matter of days, revealing greater integrity and strength.” Barrier Pro™ Essential Moisturizer ($78 ) helps strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, support and balance the microbiome, and refine texture with a patent pending ingredient blend, resulting in a more plump, vibrant, healthy, and youthful appearance. It features an innovative tri-molecular hyaluronic acid that provides multi-layer hydration – different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid ensure lasting hydration and retention. The formula features a first-of-its-kind, patented Lactobacillus Ferment, a probiotic-like ferment that creates balance by favoring the beneficial bacteria that make up the skin's microbiome and discouraging harmful bacteria. Inclusion of a bioavailable vitamin E and hydrolyzed pea protein helps support skin’s adaptive response to UV exposure. The Essential Moisturizer also improves the skin’s adaptive response to increase protection from indoor and outdoor light, including UV and HEV (blue) light, and continues to improve the skin’s resilience and adaptive response over time. The emollient cream melts into the skin and prepares it for optimal sunscreen application. Jessie Pasquarello, advanced practice aesthetician at Robertson Cosmetic Center in Madison, WI states, “What I appreciate most about the Barrier Pro Essential Moisturizer is that it optimizes the skin barrier and easily fits into a skin regimen for so many people. My patients have a range of skin concerns, from dry to oily, aging to acne and everything in between. The texture makes you want to wear it and the ingredients are proven to deliver results. When it comes to impacting skin quality and improving skin resiliency, the Barrier Pro Essential Moisturizer and the 1-Step Cleanser are unlike any others.” ABOUT COLORESCIENCE Colorescience®, the leading innovator in all-mineral sun protection, delivers transformational skincare solutions through wearable multifunctional products that provide immediate confidence and long-term visible results. Crafted for users who know that great results require daily skincare and protection, Colorescience ® uses cutting-edge technology and clinically tested formulas to ensure efficacy and provide reassurance to people of all ages, skin types, and concerns. Colorescience® products speak for themselves through their wearability, published clinical studies, and skin-healthy ingredients.

Founder of Crypto Capital Venture Predicts Price Break Out for Cardano and Bitcoin, Meme Moguls To Dominate the Bull Market

Total Media

A top crypto analyst has predicted that Bitcoin and Cardano are close to experiencing a price breakout. The founder of Crypto Capital Venture explained that the move is already happening early this cycle. Meme Mogul is another crypto that has been predicted to benefit from this bull market. Let’s see how high these cryptos can go in the bull market. Dan Gambardello Has Predicted a Price Outbreak for Cardano ADA Dan Gambardello, market analyst and founder of Crypto Capital Venture has given his bullish predictions for Cardano. He explained that the Cardano coin is already in the early stages of its bull market. He highlighted the bullish momentum as a positive factor for ADA. He added that the price action displayed on the Cardano chart is “even more exciting”. He explained that the Cardano price has moved above the 20-week and 50-week moving averages. This would allow the price of ADA to increase significantly without entering the overbought level. His first price target for the ADA coin is around the $0.450 level. Based on his prediction, if the price of Cardano breaks above this resistance, then a rally to $0.750 could begin. However, he added that bulls must defend the ADA price from breaking below the 20-day support level. Bitcoin Still Has Massive Upside Potential In the same analysis, Gambardello shared his insight on the price of Bitcoin. He explained that there is currently too much bullishness going on in the crypto market. For a bullish scenario, he explained that the Bitcoin price chart must remain above its upper trendline. This excitement can be linked to the anticipation of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval. According to Gambardello, a sustained bullish period in the short term would hint at an actual bull market entering into 2024. For this to happen, the Bitcoin value must surge above $38,000. He added that only a break above $38,000 would guarantee a continuation of the bullish market. BTC made an attempt to reclaim this resistance in mid-November but has dropped below $37,000. Because of this, he warned that the market could become more choppy with sideways price action. Meme Moguls (MGLS) Set To Dominate the Bull Market A fast-growing crypto that has caught the attention of the crypto community ahead of the bull market is Meme Moguls (MGLS). The project has been highly rated by crypto experts because of its plethora of unique features and opportunities. Most notably is the first stock exchange platform built for the meme coin sector. This stock exchange platform was built specifically to cater to the needs of meme enthusiasts. Users will find the widest array of meme coins and meme-based assets. The platform has also infused a tiered leaderboard where traders who rank higher earn rewards. The platform will provide the latest meme trends and updates to help. The Meme Moguls ecosystem has also retained the community-driven nature of meme coins. Within the ecosystem, users will connect with other meme coin enthusiasts. They will connect, share information, and trade ideas, among other things. With the aim of revolutionizing the meme coin space, Meme Moguls has been highly rated by crypto experts. This can be seen in the growing interest in the project. Because of this, analysts have predicted up to a 3,500% price rise in the bull market. A great window of opportunity is still open as you can buy the MGLS token for only $0.0021 before this predicted rally. Visit Meme Moguls Contact Details Meme Moguls pr@mememoguls.com
