Hydrated Skin. Deeper Sleep. One Daily Ritual!
Hydration Wasn’t Working—Until This
I thought I had hydration figured out—plenty of water, clean skincare, and electrolytes. But my skin was still dry, my energy dipped midday, and sleep? Unpredictable.
Then I found Pique’s Deep Hydration Protocol—a two-step, 24-hour electrolyte ritual that supports your skin, nervous system, and cellular function from morning to night.
☀️ B·T Fountain hydrates, smooths skin, and powers energy with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and trace minerals.
🌙 R·E Fountain calms the nervous system and promotes deep sleep with bioavailable magnesium and real lemon.
In a week, I felt better. In a month, I was glowing.
✔️ Clinically proven skin actives
✔️ Deep hydration + clarity without sugar or fillers
✔️ Truly clean, spa-grade ingredients
Now I feel balanced, rested, and radiant—every single day.
