Meet The Duo: Hydration + Protection, Perfectly Paired

Quench and Shield—like the ultimate skincare power couple—designed to hydrate, protect, and leave your skin glowing. This dynamic duo delivers deep hydration and barrier protection in just two easy steps. Because skincare should work hard for you, not the other way around.

Start with Quench Hydrating Serum to flood your skin with moisture and boost radiance. Follow with Shield Face Oil to lock in hydration, brighten your complexion, and defend against environmental stressors.

Bonus: Comes with a reusable, logo-printed canvas drawstring bag—making it the perfect gift for beauty lovers or a well-deserved treat for yourself.

 

Why You’ll Love It

  • Two Steps, One Glow: Hydration + protection in a simple, effective routine.

  • Deep Hydration: Snow mushroom in Quench is a natural source of hyaluronic acid, holding up to 500x its weight in water for plump, dewy skin.

  • Brightening + Balancing: Niacinamide in Quench regulates oil production and reduces hyperpigmentation, while Shield’s Vitamin C and Bakuchiol brighten and smooth.

  • Barrier Boost: Quench replenishes hydration, and Shield locks it in with Squalane and essential fatty acid-rich oils for lasting softness and resilience.

  • Plant-Based Retinol Alternative: Bakuchiol in Shield delivers retinol-like results (smoother texture, fewer fine lines) without irritation.

  • For Face & Gift-Ready: Includes a reusable canvas bag, making it a thoughtful gift or travel-friendly set.

 

Why The Duo Stands Out

Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. The Duo gives you everything you need for hydrated, resilient, glowing skin in just two steps. Powered by snow mushroom, mandelic acid, bakuchiol, and vitamin C, this set simplifies your routine while delivering serious results.

Why it works

These two products are the dynamic duo of skin moisture barrier support. When used together they make a complete moisturizer for combination skin. Quench is like a water fountain and Shield is the occlusive sealant that keeps the water content in the skin.

Double the effect!

I love the quench and shield duo. I have been using the quench for about a year now and recently started applying the shield on a daily basis. Great combo for my dry aging skin. My skin appears brighter and certainly more hydrated. Thank you, Cult of Reason!

You’re absolutely welcome! Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience with Quench and Shield.
