Meet our duo created to fight dehydration at its core.

Did you know, darker skin tones have more skin layers? This means more collagen and elastin, with lots of added benefits for the skin.

However, more layers make hydration challenging. It’s easy for products to penetrate the top layers of skin, but impacting the bottom layers is a different story. Lack of hydration in these deeper layers can lead to a poorer cell turnover and renewal, creating a dull, dehydrated complexion, and uneven skin tone and texture.

Our Dehydration Duo features two products that work in tandem to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin at its deepest layers, providing an instant glow and long-term relief from the symptoms of dehydrated skin.

What's included:

Come Clean Hydrating Cleansing Oil - 100ml

Mela Reset Biomimetic Essence - 63ml

Plus, you save 20% when you purchase them together.

4 reasons why our products are 
highly effective for darker skin tones

Reason #1: 
The Beauty-Enhancing Elixir

As you may already know, most skincare products are made of up to 80% water. And guess what water they use? Tap water, of course. 

 

Tap water contains impurities and contaminants, such as chlorine and heavy metals, which can irritate the skin and cause dryness or sensitivity. Additionally, it lacks essential minerals and nourishing properties, which leads to less effective hydration and revitalization of the skin.


On the other hand, at 4.5.6 Skin we use a special form of water that we create in our very own lab. It’s called Hexagonal water, and we use it in ALL our products.

 

This type of water has the awesome ability to dive deep into your skin, hydrating like nobody's business and leaving your skin looking and feeling amazing. 

 

We don’t use hexagonal water because it’s “cool.” We use it because it’s EXACTLY what darker skin tones need. Here’s why:

 

The structure of darker skin is often thicker and prone to water loss, leading to dehydration. Traditional skincare hydration, heavy on occlusives like plastics, suits lighter tones but not darker ones. 

 

For deeper hydration, we replenish and fortify the skin with plastic-free occlusives. That’s why we use Hexagonal water. 

 

By turning water into an active ingredient, we combat dehydration, inflammation, and weakness specific to darker skin tones.

 

Quite frankly, just our water alone blows other brands out of the water. 

But that’s not all. Let’s move on to secret #2.

Reason #2:
Gentle & Nourishing Texture Agents

Texture agents are the ingredient that gives skincare products that smooth, gliding feel. 

Typically, most skincare brands turn to plastics and silicones for this, but they can be harsh on darker skin, causing inflammation and dryness. 


We thought, "Let's switch things up." That's why we use plant-based, amino acid-derived agents—they're gentle on the skin and leave it feeling nourished and soothed.

Reason #3: 
Safe & Natural Preservatives

When it comes to product preservation, most skincare products use endocrine disruptors like parabens and phenoxyethanol. Which can cause irritation and mess with hormonal balance — especially for young women. 

Honestly, we couldn't bear the thought of potentially harming someone's reproductive health. 


So, we took a stand. No compromise.


Instead of using endocrine disruptors, we use a blend of gentle acids and phenylpropanol—a natural alternative that not only preserves but also boosts ingredients’ efficacy.

Reason #4: 
Complex Active Ingredients 
Formulated For Women Of Color

We know darker skin tones are extra sensitive. Therefore, instead of cramming in high percentages of single hero ingredients, we opt for complexes of active ingredients at smaller doses. 

That’s why our formulations not only treat skin issues but also target the root causes, reducing sensitivity and inflammation while boosting the skin's defense mechanisms. It's like giving your skin a team of allies, each ingredient working together for optimal results.

Yes! I'd love to have a radiant skin

Meet our founder

As a woman of color struggling with acne and hyperpigmentation, I was frustrated with skincare from ‘clinical experts’ that didn’t address the specific needs of my skin. 

 

In fact, our research revealed that darker skin tones are physiologically different . And therefore, they require a different treatment. 

 

Sadly, phototypes IV, V, & VI (non-white skin tones) have not been included in research and development or testing - which means that most skincare product that are marketed to us, aren't actually formulated for us. 

 

I vowed that healthy glowing skin should be accessible to everyone.
