Details
An oil-free, crystal-clear water gel for oily and combination skin that hydrates deeply, refines pore appearance, and balances shine without greasiness. It delivers immediate, refreshing hydration to skin that feels suffocated by conventional oil-based creams.
- Weightless oil-free hydration: Formulated completely free of plant oils, butters, ester oils, squalane, and silicones. Instead of occlusive lipids, it uses a breathable water-soluble polymer matrix (Aristoflex AVC) that sinks in within 60 seconds, leaving a clean matte finish with zero sticky residue.
- High-purity Niacinamide 4.0%: Delivers a clinically proven 4.0% dose of Vitamin B3 to balance sebum, visibly refine pore texture, and even skin tone. Every batch is assayed by HPLC to strictly under 100 ppm nicotinic acid, completely eliminating the hot facial flushing common in standard niacinamide formulas.
- Dual-weight Hyaluronic Acid 0.5%: Combines 0.1% high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (1.0 to 1.5 million daltons) for breathable surface hydration with 0.4% low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (10 to 50 thousand daltons) for deep stratum corneum moisture, avoiding high-percentage stickiness.
- Soothing hydrators and osmolytes: Infused with vegetable Glycerin (3.0%), bio-based Propanediol (3.0%), natural Betaine (2.0%), Provitamin B5 (Panthenol 1.0%), and Comfrey-derived Allantoin (0.2%) to keep oily and blemish-prone skin calm, balanced, and soothed.
- How to use: Dispense two pumps (about 0.7 ml) over cleansed face and neck morning and night. Because an oil-free gel structures with a water-soluble polymer rather than oils, wait 60 to 90 seconds before applying sunscreen or makeup to let the hydration layer set cleanly.
- The right moisturiser for you: Built specifically for oily, combination, and breakout-prone skin, or for hot and humid seasons. If your skin is normal to dry, choose Everyday Face Cream; if very dry, flaky, or barrier-compromised, choose Barrier Balm.
- Packaging: Pharmaceutical-grade frosted flint glass bottle with an aluminium-collared 0.35 ml metered treatment pump and an unlaminated white-top kraft folding carton.
