Hydrating Gel

Dehydration and oiliness aren't opposites. Mature skin and dewy skin aren't either. Half of all skin is dehydrated regardless of skin type, and that just might apply to you.

Meet the moisturizer for people who hate most moisturizers. Especially:

• Combination, oily, or breakout-prone skin that's been told it "doesn't need" hydration, then gets tight, dull, or weirdly oily by 3pm anyway
• Mature skin that wants a little glow and plumpness

This cult fave is a water-light gel built around plant hydrosols and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (1.0 to 1.5 million daltons), with aloe and rose for additional water-binding, and calendula and helichrysum for collagen support and barrier repair.

HA at this molecular weight holds water at the surface of your skin, plumping the look of fine lines and forming a light film that slows the moisture loss your skin barrier is fighting all day. All ingredients dosed for functional skin benefits, not marketing.

Wear it alone, layer it under makeup, or use it as the hydration step before any oil, cream, or balm. Hydration without the heaviness, the residue, or the pilling.

After washing your face, leave skin damp and apply a pea-size to dime-sized amount to your entire face and neck. It works best when skin is damp, but it’s okay to use dry, too! Feel free to apply a moisturizer or facial oil before Hydrating Gel is fully dry.
