What it is

A gel-cream overnight serum designed to drench skin with hydration and soothing support, aiming for a refreshed, plump appearance by morning.

Who it's for

  • Normal to dry or dehydrated skin needing overnight moisture replenishment.
  • Those who prefer a lighter alternative to heavy sleeping masks.
  • Users seeking a soothing, barrier-supportive layer over actives.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Marine-inspired humectants (e.g., algae/sea water extracts) — moisture retention and bounce.
  • Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) — barrier support and soothing feel.
  • Allantoin, Centella-derived components — comfort and calm the appearance of redness.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate / Glycerin — water-binding hydration.

Free-from / texture

  • Light gel-cream serum texture; low-stick finish.
  • Fragrance status per INCI; verify if scent-sensitive.
  • Non-oily feel suited for layering under creams if desired.

How to use & order

  • Apply at night after toner/essence; use 1–2 pumps on dry skin.
  • Press in gently; follow with moisturizer if extra occlusion is needed.
  • Can be used nightly; adjust amount if layering with heavier creams.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Low conflict; pairs with retinoids and acids as a hydrating buffer.
  • Apply after actives to cushion dryness; allow absorption before occlusives.
  • Not a substitute for SPF; use sunscreen in the morning.

Evidence & notes

  • Humectants and panthenol support hydration and barrier comfort; effects are cosmetic.
  • Consistent nightly use plus morning SPF supports visible smoothness and bounce.
  • Monitor for pilling if layering multiple silicone-heavy products.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test if sensitive to botanical extracts or humectants.
  • Avoid broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • If pregnant/breastfeeding, ingredients are cosmetic-grade; confirm with your clinician for personal conditions.
