Sothys Unveils a Three-Dimensional Program for Dry, Dehydrated Skin - New Sothys Hydroptimale THI3 Program, Technology of Intelligent Hydration 3 dimensions, reactivates skin’s own hydrating system

MIAMI, FLA. (December 1, 2005) – In the world of skin care, most hydrating products are one-dimensional: They usually work on the surface of the skin in order to decrease the trans-epidermal water loss or use water trapping ingredients to offer benefits to the epidermis.

Sothys Paris, the French prestige skin care company takes a 3-dimensionsal approach to skin care with its new intense hydrating program, Hydroptimale® THI3, an advanced, three-dimensional solution that actually encourages skin to reactivate its own self-hydrating functions.

Unlike other hydrating products that only treat what’s visible, Hydroptimale THI3 works in 3-phases to help strengthen the skin’s internal moisture-balancing mechanisms: regulation, equalization and continuous hydration/protection. Each function is delivered via patented ingredient systems that marry the latest skin care technology with powerful plant-based complexes. Indicators of dehydration, such as flaking, roughness, uneven tone, loss of youthful glow and premature aging are visibly reduced. Hydroptimale THI3 enables skin’s own moisturizing mechanisms to function properly, resulting in balanced, softer and healthy-looking skin.

Sothys Three Phase System for Intelligent Hydration

The Hydroptimale THI3 system teaches the skin to reactivate its natural hydration system. Sothys has developed an intense hydrating program that works at every level, from the water reservoir (located in the deep layer of the skin) to the top of the skin, for ultimate long-term results. Silky smooth textures and fresh fragrances offer neuro-cosmetic benefits that seduce the senses, relax the body and mind leaving skin exceptionally moist. Sothys hydrating system is a 3-phase process that works to auto-regulate, re-balance, and protect/continuously hydrate skin, allowing it to return to its normal and healthy state.

During this 3-phase process, Hydroptimale THI3 uses superior technology to deliver active ingredients to the skin’s layers:


  • Phase I Auto-Regulate: Water flow is regulated and maintained in the water reservoir of the skin with the Optimizer SC™ (Stratum Corneum)
    This complex of algae, other plant extracts and sugars helps normalize the passive diffusion of water within epidermal layers. It helps to restore the barrier function of the stratum corneum, which is essential for protection and long lasting hydration. (Dryness occurs partially because the stratum corneum’s ability to bind water and act against its loss is compromised.)
  • Phase II Re-balance: Plant Osmolytes promote Cellular Osmosis, the water movement in and out of the cells
    Plants synthesize Osmolytes in order to regulate water levels. Osmolytes help maintain proper water balance by improving the role of the aquaporines, the canal-like part of the cellular membrane that allows water to go in and out of the cells. In addition, they facilitate water movement required for proper cellular metabolism, especially during epidermal cell renewal. Hydroptimale THI3 uses synthesized beet root extract that allows the cell to re-equilibrate by maintaining viability and cellular metabolic activity.
  • Phase III Long-Lasting Hydration and Protection: The patented Molecular Patch provides skin cells with continuous hydration
    This quick-dissolve, ultra-thin polymer film contains encapsulated plant osmolytes that are delivered deep into the skin for continuous hydration. The patch forms like a “second skin” preserving the now-balanced moisture levels by protecting its surface. Hydration lasts at least 8 hours.

The 3-phases of hydration (auto-regulate, re-equalize, and protect/continuously hydrate) are delivered to the skin with a series of home care products:

  • Hydroptimale THI3 Hydrating Serum 1.69 oz: Intensive care to deeply treat hydration and reinforce the skin barrier. Formulated with Optimizer SC and Plant Osmolytes the Hydrating Serum is the foundation of the THI3 home care program. The combination of active ingredients like White Lupine Extract and Cotton Seed Oil is similar to the patented Sothys Hydroptimale THI 3 Institute Treatment. White Lupine Extract delivers proteins and lipids to the stratum corneum that improve and restore the barrier function, while Cotton Seed Oil is a source of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids responsible for restructuring the hydro-lipid film.
  • Hydroptimale THI3 Comfort & Light Hydrating Creams 1.69 oz: The patented Optimizer SC™ regulates water flow through the skin while the Molecular Patch acts as a pseudo-skin. Creams are made of osmolytes encapsulated in algae and vegetable polymers to assure ultimate and long lasting protection and hydration, for up to 8 hours. Filagrinol® complex containing extracts from pollen, wheat germ oil, soybean and olive oil hydrates, softens and improves the overall quality of the skin. Hydroptimale THI3 Light Hydrating Cream, a light textured moisturizer used to hydrate oily to normal skin types. Hydroptimale THI3 Comfort Hydrating Cream, a rich, creamy hydrating formula for normal to dry skin types
  • Hydroptimale THI3 Hydrating Mask 1.69 oz: Hydrating Mask offers an instant solution to all types of dehydrated skin (oily, dry, sensitive), plumping the skin with moisture for a healthy lift and glow. Beetroot extract works to balance water movements in and out of the cells, improving metabolism. Filagrinol® retains the optimum moisture in the top layer of the skin.

In the spirit of true French skin care, all Hydroptimale THI3 home care products also have a positive sensorial effect on wellbeing. The combination of luxurious textures, subtle marine essences and floral fragrances, evokes a sense of relaxation and freshness for the ultimate skin care experience with every application.

Sothys Introduces Hydroptimale THI3 InstitutE Treatment
3-Dimensional Hydration Professional Treatment

A new in-spa Hydroptimale THI3 Institute Treatment is also launching in Sothys spas and salons nationwide. “The Institute Treatment not only offers proven long-term results for dehydrated skin, but also is designed to be a relaxing and a highly sensorial experience,” says Trena Ross, spa director at L’Institut Sothys New York. “It combines richly textured, professional-grade products with the signature Sothys Digi-Esthetique massage method to help clients feel totally connected with their skin and their senses.” Much like the at-home products, the Hydroptimale THI3 works in 3-phases to regulate water diffusion within the skin, maintain cellular equilibrium and to reinforce long-lasting hydration.

Sothys Hydroptimale THI3 products and the Hydroptimale THI3 Institute Treatment are available at Sothys spas and salons nationwide. For more information on Sothys products, including locations of spas and salons in your area, please call 1-800-325-0503 or visit the Web site at www.sothys-usa.com.

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
