Step 1: Support Hydration
UV-R and UV-R Concentrate deliver antioxidant-rich hydration with ginseng, green tea, and broccoli sprout extracts—Reducing the appearance of oxidative stress such as redness, deep lines and puffiness.

Moisture vs. Hydration — The Science Behind True Skin Health
“Hydrating” and “moisturizing” are often used interchangeably, but biologically they describe different processes. Hydration relates to the water content within the skin’s deeper layers, while moisture refers to the lipid-rich film that helps prevent that water from escaping. The OUMERE system is designed to maintain both simultaneously: preserving a hydrated appearance and improving the skin for lasting suppleness, luminosity, and a youthful look.
The Cellular Role of Water and Lipids
The skin barrier, or stratum corneum, relies on both water and lipids for proper function. Water maintains enzymatic activity for desquamation and flexibility, while lipids—fatty acids, ceramides, and cholesterol—create a seal that helps limit transepidermal water loss (TEWL). When hydration decreases or lipids are depleted, skin may appear dull, tight, or uneven in texture. Long-term imbalance can contribute to premature visible aging as the barrier loses integrity and elasticity.
Why Many Moisturizers Fail
Many moisturizers rely on heavy occlusives that trap water but do not replenish natural lipids or support barrier function. Conversely, “hydrating” serums built only on humectants can draw water to the surface temporarily yet leave deeper layers unbalanced if not sealed correctly. True balance requires both water-phase antioxidants and oil-phase lipids that emulate the skin’s natural structure.
How OUMERE Balances Hydration and Moisture
Step 2: Reinforce Moisture
Serum Bioluminelle combines a water-based antioxidant layer with an oil layer rich in watermelon, blackseed, and grapeseed oils to lock in hydration without heaviness. For additional support, Serum Bioluminelle Concentrate adds astaxanthin and fucoxanthin to maintain a smooth, supple appearance over time.
Step 3: Optimize the Renewal Environment
The Advancement Concentrate and The Advancement Concentrate II are peptide-dense formulations that help improve the appearance of firmness and texture. Proper hydration amplifies their visible benefits.
Step 4: Preserve the Balance
Oil Dissolution Theory cleanses effectively without removing the natural lipid layer—helping hydration levels stay stable while maintaining a comfortable barrier.

The Visible Difference
Balanced hydration and moisture create a smooth, reflective surface where light disperses evenly—one hallmark of healthy, youthful-looking skin. When water and lipids coexist in harmony, the complexion appears bright, firm, and calm—never greasy or tight.
