Leaves skin visibly plumper and brighter
Why this exists
Skin loses its ability to hold moisture gradually, and the visible result is often a flatness that reads as tiredness even when the rest of the ritual is consistent. This serum is built to address that hydration gap directly, rather than simply adding a glossy layer on top. Two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid work across different depths of the skin, while Sodium PCA helps replenish a component naturally present in the skin’s own moisturising factors. Organic glycerin and organic caprylic/capric triglyceride support hydration and slip, and organic sunflower seed oil brings emollience that helps the skin feel more cushioned. The result is a light, quick-absorbing step that gives skin back its spring and reflective clarity without leaving a film behind.

The application
How to layer this
-
1
Start on clean skin
Apply two to three drops to clean, slightly damp skin. This helps the serum spread evenly and settle quickly.
-
2
Press, do not rub
Warm the serum between the palms, then press gently over the face and neck. The formula is designed to absorb fast without needing much massage.
-
3
Layer next steps over it
Follow with moisturiser in the evening, or SPF in the morning. It sits comfortably under both cream and sunscreen.
What to expect
On the skin, over time
Day 1
Skin feels softer within a minute of application. Foundation or base products may sit more evenly over a smoother-looking surface.
Week 1
Small dehydration lines can look less obvious in good light. The skin may feel less affected by dry indoor air through the day.
Week 4
Hydration feels steadier and lower-effort. The complexion can read more consistently plump and reflective, without depending on the serum for the effect.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
The dual hyaluronic acid system pairs Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, a low-molecular-weight fragment with the ability to penetrate into the upper stratum corneum, with Sodium Hyaluronate at the surface, where it binds moisture and maintains the smooth, visually plump appearance across the day. Together they address both the feel of the skin and its reflected light, working at two depths rather than one.
Sodium PCA, the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, is a naturally occurring component of the skin's own Natural Moisturising Factor. Its presence in the formula restores what environmental exposure, cleansing, and time quietly remove. Organic Glycerin and organic Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (derived from organic sources) round out the humectant and emollient layer, while organic Sunflower Seed Oil contributes linoleic acid, a fatty acid that supports the lipid lamellae of the barrier and is notably deficient in many dehydrated and blemish-prone skin types.
The antioxidant botanicals, organic Watercress Flower and Leaf Extract and organic Elderberry Fruit Extract, provide the fresh, faintly luminous finish. Ascorbyl Palmitate stabilises these botanicals and contributes additional Vitamin C antioxidant activity. The overall texture on the skin is described most accurately as glass-like: smooth, reflective, and absorbed.

Reviews and reflections
-
Plump, hydrated finish
Gel texture goes on lightly. It layers under cream without pilling and leaves skin looking more hydrated.
-
Verified
Barrier bounce support
Barrier feels stronger with panthenol and urea and skin stays fresher under makeup, though the glow could be a little more obvious.
-
Verified
smooth under cream
Three drops, no tackiness, just a smoother base for my moisturiser. Sits really nicely.
-
Verified
Strong value overall
Pricey for the size, but a little goes far and the bottle lasts longer than expected.
-
Verified
not enough for me
Absorbs fast and looks dewy, but the plumpness fades too quick on my mature skin. Too mild.
-
Verified
Cica soothes overnight
Cica feels soothing overnight, with centella giving my dry patches a softer look by morning and my face less rough overall.
-
Verified
Texture feels smoother
The texture feels smoother and my face feels less tight now. It’s pricier than I hoped, but the moisture boost is specific and helpful.
-
Verified
Subtle start, calmer look
Applied before moisturiser in the morning, it feels silky and light, while cheeks still flush sometimes, yet skin appears more even most days.
-
Verified
light and fresh
Settles fast under my moisturiser and makeup, with no oily finish. After a week, my skin looked a bit fresher and felt comfortably bouncier, though the size is on the small side.
-
Verified
actually plumps
After a week the cheek area looked less flat and those tiny dehydration lines round my eyes were way less obvious in daylight. It's quick-absorbing so sits under cream without feeling heavy at all. The finish is comfortable not greasy which I really like for mature skin.
-
Verified
gone in seconds
Two drops, damp skin, done. Smoother by lunchtime.
-
Verified
easy to use daily
The dispenser gives exactly three drops which is all I need. It vanishes almost instantly and leaves that smooth slightly glowy look. I layer it before SPF and it genuinely helps when the heating dries out my flat. Really easy to keep without any fuss or waiting around.
-
Verified
helps in cold weather
In winter my skin loses that springy feel and this does bring it back. Still need a richer cream over the top but the dewy finish is nice without going greasy.
-
no film under makeup
Disappears completely, leaves no residue and foundation sits flatter all day. Does the job for my dehydrated cheeks.
-
Verified
Commuter swap settled
Swapped from my old one on the commute and it stayed quick, simple, genuinely easy all day.
-
Verified
love on damp skin
I press three drops in after cleansing while my face is still slightly damp and it goes dewy immediately. Sits under night cream without that slippery feel some serums leave.
-
Verified
Bit pricey, still works
Feels light on skin, not sticky, pretty decent in truth.
-
Verified
Skin stays happy
No sting or reaction, just good tolerance on my reactive skin. This moisturizer feels super easy to wear and I love this kind of comfort.
-
Verified
brings back bounce
Skin goes flat in cold weather, this fixes it. Quick, smooth, nice.
-
Verified
dewy not shiny
Finish is dewy but not greasy. Disappears before cream. Happy.
-
Verified
fades by afternoon
Lovely texture and absorbs beautifully but I'm wanting more comfort by late afternoon especially in heated rooms. Not quite enough hydration depth for my dry skin unfortunately.
-
Verified
good not amazing
Quick absorption and a really smooth finish that layers well under day cream. On very dry mornings though I do need a second moisturising step to feel fully comfortable. It's well made just not quite enough on its own for me in winter when the air is harsh.
-
Verified
super nice value
Really pleased with this. It sinks in quickly under my moisturiser and sunscreen and after a week my skin looked a bit smoother and more hydrated. Bottle is a little small, but still great value.
-
Verified
Great value overall
Pricier than my usual cream, but a small amount goes far and the lighter texture makes the jar worthwhile.
-
Verified
clean feel
Vanishes before you think about it. Fresh finish. Easy.
-
Verified
easy twice daily
Use it morning and evening because the texture makes that simple. Doesn't pill or feel sticky when I'm rushing and my skin looks more hydrated by evening. Plays nicely with my cream which matters when you're layering products every single day without fail.
-
Verified
sits neatly
Absorbs quickly and goes under night cream perfectly. Skin looks less flat but I need more on windy days.
-
Verified
not enough alone
Nice immediate plumpness and layers well under SPF but the finish is so light I need another hydrating step before lunch.
-
quick
Gone in seconds. Easy before SPF. Dehydrated skin likes it.
-
Verified
serious hydration
Better surface clarity. Layers well under richer cream. Keeping it.
-
forehead looks less flat
Bought it for plumpness and that's what I get. Feels like genuine hydration not just surface gloss. After two weeks my forehead doesn't look so flat by 4pm anymore.
-
Verified
neat and quick
Bottle gives a tidy amount and it absorbs fast enough to move straight on to moisturiser. Cheeks look less tired by late afternoon.
-
spots calmed by lunch
Used it after my morning gym shower on my chin and, annoyingly, it settled the redness by lunch. A bit dry at first, mind, but it beat the old spot gel I’d been using.
-
Verified
less parched
At 58 I just want skin that doesn't look dry. This does that. Smooth and slightly luminous within seconds and my cheeks look less creased in good light.
-
Verified
layers cleanly
Never leaves a film or sticky feeling under SPF or night cream. Surface looks smoother and more reflective not coated.
-
Verified
too light for me
It's fast and leaves a smooth look but on very dry sk doesn't last all day without heavier cream.
-
Verified
Congestion improved
BHA with salicylic helps congestion feel calmer, quite smooth under makeup and dry bits look less obvious.
-
Verified
glass smooth
Two drops, gone fast. Skin looks less flat. Love it.
-
Verified
springy after a few days
Wasn't sure about another hydration serum but this one actually works. Skin looks more springy after a few days and the finish sits under moisturiser without any tackiness. Also makes foundation go on way more evenly over my dry patches which is a bonus I wasn't expecting.
-
Verified
Quick morning fix
Handled dry patches without weight. Cheeks looked smoother and more even before work.
-
Verified
fast and substantial
One of the few serums that feels both quick and actually does something. Absorbs fast yet my skin keeps a better bounce through the afternoon. Can see the effect.
-
solid daily option
Can't fault the absorption or finish. Sits well under moisturiser and SPF and skin looks smoother. Effect is subtle not dramatic but for daily hydration it does the job.
-
less tired under makeup
Absorbed so fast. Skin looked less tired under makeup with a softer sheen instead of that dry papery finish. Two drops enough for face and neck so the bottle will last.
-
Verified
tidy dispenser
Texture is elegant, result is fresh and dewy. Peak winter I still want thicker cream.
-
Verified
hydration calmed smoothly
Hyaluronic hydration fixed my dry patches a genuinely bit and the serum feels dead good on skin.
-
Verified
sits well
No trouble before moisturiser or SPF. Surface looks more even.
-
Verified
neat slip
Disappears fast which suits busy mornings. Prefer a richer feel at night but the plumpness is better than I expected for something this light.

Will it feel sticky under moisturiser or SPF?

Can I layer it with actives?
Yes. Apply it after cleansing and before your cream or SPF, and layer it comfortably alongside the rest of your ritual.
Is this enough on its own for very dry skin?
It gives a strong hydration step, but very dry skin may still prefer to seal it in with a moisturiser afterwards, especially at night.
