The Duo — Gentle Cleanser + Barrier Repair Gel Cream
CLEANSER + Moisturizer
Cleanse. Restore. Strengthen.
Two complementary formulations designed to work together—helping support your skin barrier from the first cleanse to the final layer of hydration.
BEST SUITED TO:
Healthy-looking skin is not supported by a single product.
Every effective routine begins with what you remove and continues with what you replenish. The Duo was created so both steps work together—not against each other.
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. cleanses without unnecessarily disrupting the skin, while S.H.I.E.L.D. replenishes hydration and supports the skin barrier. Together, they form a simple, complete routine for morning and evening.
Daily Cleanser · 200 ml
A microbiome-conscious daily cleanser that gently removes sunscreen, excess oil, pollution and everyday impurities while respecting the skin’s natural moisture and barrier.
Barrier-Support Gel Cream · 100 ml
A lightweight gel cream that delivers lasting hydration and supports the skin barrier with carefully selected ingredients designed for everyday resilience.
Together, they create a complete two-step skincare ritual for morning and evening.
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X.
↓
S.H.I.E.L.D.
E.Q.U.I.N.O.X. prepares the skin by cleansing without unnecessary stripping. S.H.I.E.L.D. follows by restoring hydration and supporting the barrier. Each formulation complements the other, creating a more considered daily routine.
Using both formulations together provides a complete daily routine designed to cleanse, hydrate and support the skin barrier.
At Implicit, we do not formulate around trends.
We formulate around how skin functions.
Every ingredient is selected with purpose. Every concentration is carefully considered. Every formulation is designed to complement the skin rather than overwhelm it.
The Duo reflects our approach to intelligent skincare: fewer products, purposeful formulations and a complete routine built around consistency rather than complexity.
