A WHOLE NEW WAY TO FACE THE WORLD
THE BALENSE STORY
IN 2008, SKIN SPECIALIST WENDY REINER SUFFERED A SEVERE ADULT ACNE BREAKOUT. At 33 years of age, Wendy could not find skincare products that could nurture her blemished appearance and fight the visible signs of ageing. I have always taken care of my skin, but I found myself at a time in my life where I was concerned not only about the long-term scarring that the acne could have on my appearance, but also the effects of ageing and environmental damage on my skin. I was also entering a phase in my life where anti-ageing skin care was becoming increasingly important to me. My bathroom vanity was full of disappointment in the form of products that over promised and under delivered in my search for a product that I could trust. I wanted to put my faith in a brand that understood my concerns simply because my skin s appearance and youthfulness is precious to me. Finally I realised that to find the results I wanted, I had to design a product to meet the needs of sensitive skin. Gathering on her wealth of knowledge from working in medicine, the beauty industry and studying formulations, Wendy created products that finally made a difference to her skin. It was transformational! The original Balense range has since extended to a full suite of products covering all skin types and is patented in Australia (with patents also pending in the UK and the USA). Today the Balense range has launched onto the world stage and is rivaling even the biggest brands with high-performance formulas that deliver real, visible results. THE BALENSE STORY
WHY CHOOSE BALENSE? BALENSE DELIVERS OPTIMAL HYDRATION AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE INGREDIENTS TO ENHANCE THE VISIBLE RESULTS OF YOUR IN-CLINIC TREATMENTS AND PROVIDE YOU WITH LONG-TERM SKIN BENEFITS. Balense is the next generation in Skin Care, with scientific research that backs up its formulations and we are excited to introduce this range to you and help you gain the best skin. Your skin has its own natural repair rhythm. During the day your skin experiences environmental assaults from UV penetration, dehydration, free radicals, pollution and more, which potentially lead to damaged skin. The damage leads to a weak and fragile skin, which slows the skin s natural repair rhythm and the signs of ageing appear faster. Balense can reduce skin damage by delivering superior, active ingredients within the skin when following our simple 4 step system. BALENSE IS ETHICAL Balense is an easy skincare system with high ethical standards. Paraben free Sulfate free We will never test on animals We use recyclable packaging We use biodegradable beads to protect our marine life Balense is a skincare company that cares about our marine life and waterways as well as you. We recommend using only Balense products in combination for an effective skincare and anti-ageing routine and to minimise a nonsynergistic cocktail of ingredients on the skin. Time Release Balense uses a unique time-release Hyaluronic Acid delivery system for enhanced prolonged penetration of ingredients to the skin around the clock. SULFATE & NOT TESTED ON PARABEN FREE ANIMALS BIODEGRADABLE WE CARE ABOUT MICROBEADS MARINE LIFE RECYCLABLE PACKAGING
