Water-light hydration. Zero oil. Fresh, dewy skin.

A gel moisturiser with no emollient oils and no waxes — organic aloe, hyaluronic acid and betaine for a bouncy, fresh finish that never feels greasy.

Visible benefits

Hydration

  • Fresh, dewy look — never greasy — no emollient oils and no waxes in the formula, so nothing sits on the surface.
  • Light moisture without weight — butylene glycol attracts water to the surface.

Texture & pores

  • Made for normal, combination and shine-prone skin — on its own in summer, over a serum in winter.
  • Balances the look of shine — zinc PCA.

Soothing & comfort

  • A soothing, refreshing feel — aloe leaf juice comforts the skin as it hydrates.

Look of fine lines

  • Hydrated, smoother-looking skin — hyaluronic acid holds water at the surface, so fine lines look less visible.

What the science says

Glycerin — A humectant that draws water into the outermost skin layer and keeps it soft and supple — one of the most-researched moisturising ingredients. [1]

Hyaluronic acid — A water-binding molecule that holds moisture on the skin's surface for a plumper, dewier look. [2]

Humectant-only formula — Humectants hydrate the upper layers of the skin; without oils or waxes the finish stays light — the right match for skin that does not want extra richness. [3]

The hyaluronic-acid study used 0.1% creams around the eyes; our gel uses sodium hyaluronate in a small amount. Zinc PCA is in the formula as a skin-conditioning ingredient — we do not promise shine or oil control from it, because there are no independent studies on it alone.

These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.
