GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION 1. WHAT IS THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V™ COLLECTION? The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection is a comprehensive collection of hydrating skincare products inspired by Nobel Prize-winning research and designed to provide a complete, targeted system that provides both immediate and enduring deep skin-hydration benefits.

2. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COLLECTION? The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V skincare collection offers a comprehensive approach to hydration that is suitable for all skin types. Proper hydration is a cornerstone of skincare and is absolutely vital for maintaining fresh, supple and healthier looking skin of all types.

Skin dehydration is common among women of all ages and contributes to skin that appears rough, uneven in tone and dull. ARTISTRY HYDRA-V addresses these problems by providing a boost to skin hydration levels.

3. WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COLLECTION? With new technology, new packaging, and the most-powerful ARTISTRY hydration skincare credentials ever, the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection is the first ever ARTISTRY collection that focuses so specifically on deep hydration for every skin type. This catering to every skin type is reflected by the presence of three different hydrators and variations on the HYDRA-V Power System, each one featuring a different formula and sensorial texture, and intended to cater to different skin types and preferences. A special water droplet coding system has been developed to make choosing the right option for your skin type an effortless process. 4. HOW IS THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COLLECTION DIFFERENT FROM ARTISTRY™ ESSENTIALS? The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection is a new skincare line focused on the benefits of hydration. New formulas and new packaging are the foundations of this line. Details of the key differences between ARTISTRY HYDRA-V and ARTISTRY essentials can be found at the end of this document.

5. WHO IS THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V CUSTOMER? The typical customer for the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V Collection is female, aged 25+, and is concerned with under-hydrated skin. She is not yet worried about the signs of ageing or uneven skin tone but knows her skin could look fresher. While the younger consumer is most likely to be attracted by this value proposition, the hydration benefits of HYDRA-V are relevant to any consumer, no matter their age or skin type.

6. WHICH SKIN TYPES IS THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COLLECTION SUITABLE FOR? The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection has been developed for all major skin types: dry, combination and oily.

7. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DRY, COMBINATION AND OILY SKIN TYPES? Dry skin: Almost invisible pores, dull, rough complexion, red patches, less elasticity, more visible lines. When exposed to drying factors, skin can crack, peel, or become itchy, irritated, or inflamed. If your skin is very dry, it can become rough and scaly.

Combination skin type: A combination skin type can be dry or normal in some areas and oily in others, such as the T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin). Combination skin can produce overly dilated pores, blackheads, and shiny skin in the oilier areas; however, it often has no severe sensitivity, barely visible pores in drier areas, and an overall radiant complexion.

Oily skin: Oily skin can produce enlarged pores, which can result in a dull or shiny look, thick-looking complexion, blackheads, pimples, or other blemishes. Oiliness can change depending upon the time of year or the weather. Oily skin can be caused or made worse by hormonal imbalances, stress, exposure to heat or too much humidity. 8. WHY SHOULD I USE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS? After using ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products for the very first time, skin looks and feels fresh, supple, and healthier.

• The Power System (see question 10) uses the three most powerful formulas. In fact, you can immediately boost your hydration by 270% just by using the Vital Skin Serum Concentrate and the Nourishing Gel Cream. The benefits of the Power System include: • Hydration benefits last for up to 24 hours* • Users confirmed that their skin felt healthier, more supple, smoother and looked fresher after just three days.* • Clinical measurement showed a significant improvement in skin texture after 28 days.**

* When using the Power System: Vital Skin Serum Concentrate, Nourishing Gel Cream and Refreshing Eye Gel Cream. **When using Vital Skin Serum Concentrate.

10. WHAT IS THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V POWER SYSTEM?

12. WHAT CAUSES DEHYDRATION? Skin dehydration can be caused by environmental factors, a stressful lifestyle, excessive cleansing or even the side effects of medication.

The chart below shows how damage from environmental stressors begins to accumulate in skin. You can see that dryness starts very early and can show up as early as in the 20's. This is true for all skin types.

13. HOW IS DEHYDRATION DIFFERENT FROM DRY SKIN?

To many people, dehydration and dry skin can seem like the same thing, because they both cause skin to look and feel the same way:

• FEELS: Tight, taut, uncomfortable, itchy, may be easily irritated.

• LOOKS: Dull, lacklustre, rough; may be flaky and even red.

Here’s how to tell them apart:

DRY SKIN DEHYDRATION SKIN

Dry skin is a skin type. Dehydrated skin is a skin condition

Lacks sufficient oils. Lacks sufficient water in outermost layers.

Possible causes: genetics, chronic illness, environment (including temperature/humidity changes heat, air conditioning, and severe cold weather), sun exposure, lifestyle, stress, daily cleansing, ageing.

Possible causes: environment (including temperature/humidity changes, heat, air conditioning, and severe cold weather), sun exposure, lifestyle, stress, excessive cleansing, and some medications and acne preparations.

On-going concern? YES On-going concern? NO, it comes and goes.

Think of it this way:

All skin types can benefit from extra hydration.

Even oily skin can experience dehydration, which is a lack of water, not oil.

Only dry skin will benefit from extra oil.

Dehydrated skin can lead to dry skin.

ALL SKIN TYPES NEED HYDRATION

14. HOW SHOULD ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS BE STORED? For maximum stability, the products should be stored at room temperature (below 30°C or 86°F) and away from direct sunlight.

15. WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE BEFORE AND AFTER OPENING? The shelf life of the product is three years, unopened. Once the product is opened, it should be used within twelve months.

16. ARE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS OR THE TECHNOLOGY THEY USE COVERED BY ANY PATENTS? Yes. The total number of patents1 granted and pending for the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection, including ingredients and package design, is 16. (The total number of patents granted is five, while eleven are pending.)

17. WHY DOES THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COLLECTION CONTAIN ONLY ONE CLEANSER AND ONE TONER? The new ARTISTRY HYDRA-V Fresh Foaming Cleanser and Fresh Toner have been specifically developed to be suitable for all skin types. As such, there is no need to develop cleansers and toners for each specific skin type.

18. WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT TEXTURES AMONGST THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V MOISTURISERS? The different textures were developed to address the different needs of the consumer – both for different seasons and different skin types. Consumers have the option to mix and match based on skin needs.

19. WHY DOES THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V LINE HAVE NO NIGHT CREAM? Any of the hydrators (e.g. Replenishing Moisture Cream) can be used day or night.

20. WHAT NEW TECHNOLOGY IS USED IN THE ARISTRY HYDRA-V VITAL SKIN SERUM CONCENTRATE? The new component in the Vital Skin Serum Concentrate is called the Hydra Complex. The Hydra Complex is a proprietary blend of ingredients – including Himalayan Pink Rock Minerals – that helps to manage the surface skin cells to improve:

1. Water transportation, storage and retention.

2. Skin cell organisation, which contributes to the restoration of a youthful cell shape and enhances cells’ ability to pack together, improves their ability to form a strong moisture barrier.

In addition, Himalayan Pink Rock Minerals provide nutrient-rich minerals to further optimise hydration.

21. WHY DOES THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V VITAL SKIN SERUM CONCENTRATE CONTAIN LIGHT BLUE BEADS? SHOULD THESE BEADS BREAK ON DISPENSING/PUMPING? The light blue beads are to remind the user of watery hydration and they also contain three vitamins: A, C and E. The beads soften while in the product and most will break during the dispensing/pumping process to provide a fresh mixture of vitamins. Any beads not broken will easily and gently break during application and release the vitamins.

22. WHAT DOES THE NAME “HYDRA-V” MEAN? The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V name is a combination of HYDRA (a derivation of the Latin root word for water) and V (representing the word ‘vital’, meaning full of life). Together they reference the goal of refreshed, replenished and revitalised skin.

11

23. HOW DOES ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COMPARE TO ARTISTRY YOUTH XTENDTM? ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND focuses primarily on anti-ageing and the target age is 30 and above. ARTISTRY Hydra-V focuses on hydration and the target age is 25+. Also, whereas ARTISTRY YOUTH XTEND address the issues related to dermis (the layer between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissues), such as collagen and wrinkles, ARTISTRY HYDRA-V focuses primarily on the epidermis (the outermost layers of skin).

24. WHY IS APPLYING PRODUCTS IN AN UPWARD MOTION ALWAYS RECOMMENDED? It is good practice to always apply skincare products in an upward motion so as to not pull the skin down. The intention should be to reinforce a healthy, uplifted complexion. 25. HOW DOES ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PROTECT AGAINST OXIDATION? ARTISTRY HYDRA-V has vitamins and antioxidants that protect skin against oxidation.

26. IS ARTISTRY HYDRA-V APPROPRIATE FOR MALE SKIN? ARTISTRY HYDRA-V can be used both by men and women. Proper hydration is equally important for both.

27. WHAT DOES NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING RESEARCH MEAN? The inspiration for ARTISTRY HYDRA-V was Dr. Peter Agre’s research on aquaporins, which focused on how to manage hydration deep within the skin. Dr Agre, of John Hopkins University, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2003 for his work. Using this work as inspiration, the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection was developed over a period of three years.

28. IF I HAVE DRY SKIN, DO I NEED ONLY WATER OR ALSO OILS? DO ANY OF THE ARTISTY HYDRA-V GELS OR CREAMS OFFER THIS? IF NOT, DO I NEED A COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCT? Dry skin needs both water (hydration) and oil (moisturisation) and all skin types can benefit from hydration. The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V Replenishing Moisture Cream is an ideal product for women with dry skin because it provides both hydration and moisturisation.

PRODUCT USE 29. HOW LONG WILL EACH PRODUCT LAST IF USED AS RECOMMENDED? The expected use-up rate for ARTISTRY HYDRA-V™ products is approximately six to eight weeks.

30. WHAT IS THE CORRECT ORDER OF USE? All ARTISTRY™ skincare follows the Cleanse, Tone, Treat, Moisturise/Hydrate philosophy.

• Cleanse: Fresh Foaming Cleanser

• Tone: Fresh Toner

• Treat: Vital Skin Serum Concentrate

• Hydrate: Select the hydrator that is right for your skin condition – Refreshing Gel, Nourishing Gel Cream, or Replenishing Moisture Cream – then follow with the Refreshing Eye Gel Cream.

When using ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products with other ARTISTRY products always use lighter textures first. For instance, when using ARTISTRY HYDRA-V Vital Skin Serum Concentrate with another ARTISTRY serum, as the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V serum provides such an immediate surge of hydration, it is best layered under the other ARTISTRY serum being used.

31. HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ARTISTRY HYDRA-V HYDRATOR TO USE? All hydrators provide hydration; each texture is designed to cater to different skin types and personal preference.

• The Refreshing Gel contains special ingredients to control excess sebum and shine, so it can be used by women with oily-combination skin, including those who tend to have breakthrough shine during the day. It has a refreshing and cooling feel during application. It is light weight so may be preferred in hotter seasons or climates.

• The Nourishing Gel Cream is suitable for all skin types. It is a medium-bodied gel cream containing a lower level of sebum-controlling ingredients and has a slightly more emollient feel.

• The Replenishing Moisture Cream is the most emollient feeling and may be preferred by women who have normal-to-dry skin, or those who prefer a heavier product at night. This product may also be preferred in cooler seasons or climates.

32. CAN THE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V COLLECTION BE USED WITH OTHER ARTISTRY SKINCARE PRODUCTS? ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products are aesthetically compatible with all ARTISTRY skincare products, including the ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE™ product line.

33. IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE ARTISTRY HYDRA-V IN WINTER? Yes, ARTISTRY HYDRA-V is a great product line to use in the winter, due to the drying effect that winter conditions have on skin.

34. DO ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS WORK WITH OTHER HYDRATION PRODUCTS? IF USING ARTISTRY HYDRA-V, SHOULD I STILL BE USING A HYDRATING FOUNDATION OR HYDRATING SUPPLEMENTS? At a very high level, ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products work from the outside of the skin to replenish hydration as a topical skincare. Hydrating supplements work from the inside of the body. Hydrating supplements work to improve the appearance of skin all over the body, while ARTISTRY HYDRA-V is recommended for the facial area. As such, ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products and hydrating supplements can be considered complementary.

40. WHAT TYPE OF FRAGRANCE IS USED IN ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS? The ARTISTRY HYDRA-V collection contains an exclusively developed, fresh, watery floral fragrance. It features watery nuances with hints of fresh fruit floating like water lilies across pools of creamy waves. Natural hints of dewy green notes flow into lush peony petals and sheer musk’s to complete this feminine composition.

Filtered through special quartz sand, this water is believed by experts to be the purest in Norway.

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS 43. CAN ARTISTRY HYDRA-V™ PRODUCTS BE USED BY THOSE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN? All ARTISTRY™ products have been thoroughly tested on groups of individuals representing all skin types. There was no evidence of allergenic response or extreme skin irritation. However, we do recognise that no testing programme can assure that no one will ever develop minor reactions. No skincare product is guaranteed to be 100% irritation-free for everyone.

44. IF I HAVE EXPERIENCED BAD SUNBURN, CAN I USE THESE PRODUCTS? HOW ABOUT AFTER A CHEMICAL PEEL OR LASER TREATMENT? Generally, we do not recommend that any cosmetic product be used after “bad” sunburn or any treatment that causes extreme inflammation. The products should only be used after inflammation has subsided. For use after a chemical peel or laser treatment, one should consult their GP.

45. ARE THERE PRODUCTS THAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED WHEN USING ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS? No ARTISTRY products need to be avoided when using ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products. ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products were formulated to be compatible with all other ARTISTRY skincare products.

46. WHY DO SOME PRODUCTS STILL CAUSE A SKIN REACTION ON SOME PEOPLE? No skincare product is guaranteed to be 100% irritation free for everyone. All ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products are thoroughly tested for skin compatibility and safety, but there are always a small number of people sensitive to certain ingredients. Apart from these unforeseeable instances, the products are considered completely safe when used as directed. Just as some people are allergic to pets or dust, others are allergic to common cosmetic ingredients. Of course, we are careful not to use any ingredients that are known to cause allergic reactions. It must also be kept in mind that ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products contain many highly effective and efficacious ingredients in order to provide the high level of hydration benefits. If redness develops or the sensations become more severe, the consumer should discontinue use.

47. WERE ANY OF ARTISTRY HYDRA-V PRODUCTS TESTED ON ANIMALS? ARTISTRY HYDRA V products were not tested on animals. ARTISTRY scientists conducted clinical and consumer testing with human volunteers.

GLOSSARY ANTIOXIDANTS: Substances that protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals.

AQUAPORINS/WATER CHANNELS: Proteins embedded in the cell membranes that regulate the flow of water. Often called ‘water channels’ because they form pathways in the cell walls, they transport water across the cell membrane. In fact, they significantly increase the rate of passage of water. They ensure an optimal hydration distribution in the different epidermal layers.

ARTISTRY HYDRA-V LIPOSOME: Specially formulated liposome containing Norwegian Fjord Water for delivery and release into the skin.

BARRIER ORGANISATION: Barrier Organisation includes the structural arrangement of the surface skin cells and lipids like the “brick and mortar” model but also focus on the size and shape of the skin cells and how they fit together including the tight junctions, aquaporins and other connections.

DEHYDRATION: Dehydrated skin is characterised by a lack of water in the Stratum Corneum.

DERMIS: The skin’s inner layer, containing collagen that provides support and nutrition to the epidermis.

EPIDERMIS: The protective outer layer of cells in the skin.

HAWAIIAN ACAI: Acai Sterols are sterols that are derived from the cold pressing of Acai Palm seeds for oil. The oil is then fractionated and the sterols removed. Sterols are useful for increasing barrier formation in the skin while also improving hydration. Our Acai Palms are grown in Hawaii.

HIMALAYAN PINK ROCK MINERALS: Mined from the famous ancient Salt Range within the Himalayan Mountains. Himalayan Pink Rock Minerals are mineral rich. The most important minerals for skin health include: calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, potassium and sodium.

HYDRA COMPLEX: The Hydra Complex is a proprietary blend of ingredients – including Himalayan Pink Rock Minerals—that help skin to improve water transportation, storage, retention and packing/organisation of surface skin cells.

LIPOSOME: A microscopic lipid sphere that is capable of holding other ingredients and releasing them into the skin.

MINERALS: Minerals are elements that originate in the Earth and cannot be made by living organisms. Nine minerals are considered essential, they include: calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, potassium and sodium.

NORWEGIAN FJORD WATER: The Norwegian Fjord Water in the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V products comes from one special and unique quartz sand bank in Eresfjord that filters the water so purely that it is allowed to be tapped directly into

bottles and sold as high-quality drinking water, without any further treatment or filtration. We have encapsulated the Norwegian Fjord Water into a liposome (called the ARTISTRY HYDRA-V Liposome) to help release into the skin.

TIGHT JUNCTIONS: Regulate the permeability or “moisture/water leakage” in the epidermis. These intercellular junctions are essential for the barrier function and provide cohesion of cells to prevent excessive water loss, thereby improving hydration levels in the skin.

VITAMINS: The term vitamin is derived from the words vital and amine, because vitamins are required for life and were originally thought to be amines. Although not all vitamins are amines, they are organic compounds required by humans in small amounts from the diet.
