Hydrating Serum

A hydrating serum for skin that feels tight or looks dull because it is short of water, which can happen to oily skin as easily as to dry. It is a light, lotion-like serum that goes on under your moisturiser, or on its own when your skin needs only a little.

Organic aloe leaf juice replaces water as the first ingredient, with glycerin, rose flower water and betaine to draw water into the skin and two forms of hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid) to help hold it there. Bisabolol, a soothing compound found in chamomile, is added for comfort, alongside peony root extract, organic cloudberry extract, Alteromonas ferment extract (a marine-derived ingredient) and vitamin E. A trace of iron oxide gives the serum its colour.

Apply to clean skin, then follow with your moisturiser and, in the morning, sunscreen. The serum contains fragrance (parfum, with limonene, geraniol, coumarin and linalool from natural essential oils). If you prefer a routine with no fragrance at all, the Sensitive Skin Moisturiser, Fragrance Free is the gentler choice.
