Your skin is thirsty, not dry
Hydration+ with Hyaluronic and Alginic Acid
AC offices, long commutes and late nights pull water out of your skin faster than any season. This oil-free gel puts it back: Hyaluronic Acid draws the water in, Alginic Acid from algae seals it there, and the barrier gets stronger with every use.

THE DIAGNOSIS
Dry and dehydrated are not the same problem
One is a skin type you are born with. The other is a state anyone can land in, including people with oily skin. Most of India's tired, dull, tight-feeling faces are the second one.
Dry skin lacks oil
- Feels rough or flaky most of the year
- Often genetic, shows up early
- Needs richer, oil-based care
Dehydrated skin lacks water
- Happens to any skin type, even oily
- Caused by AC, sun, late nights and harsh products
- Needs humectants that pull water back in

THE GLASS MYTH
Eight glasses a day will not moisturise your face
Drink your water, it is good for you. But your skin is the last organ in the queue for it. The water your face holds on to is the water a humectant traps in the skin itself, which is exactly the job Hyaluronic and Alginic Acid do here.

Water your skin daily
An oil-free gel moisturiser that treats dehydration at the source. Hyaluronic Acid pulls water into the skin, Alginic Acid from algae holds it there, and green tea, chamomile and pomegranate keep stressed skin calm and fed. Light enough for oily skin, kind enough for sensitive skin. Formulated by the dermatologists at Clinic Dermatech, made in India.

Before you buy
Can oily skin use this?
Yes, it was practically made for it. The gel is oil-free and non-greasy, so it hydrates without adding shine. Oily skin that skips moisturiser usually produces more oil, not less, and this breaks that habit gently.
When and how do I apply it?
Morning and night, on slightly damp skin, after your serum and before sunscreen or makeup. Humectants work best when there is a little water on the skin for them to trap.
Is it enough for properly dry skin in winter?
For most people, yes, reviewers use it year round and call it a winter staple. If your skin is very dry by type, layer it under a richer cream: the gel holds the water, the cream seals the deal.
Will it sit well under makeup?
Yes. It absorbs fast and leaves no greasy film, so makeup goes on smoothly instead of sliding. Hydrated skin also keeps foundation from clinging in dry patches.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
The formula is dermatologically tested and includes chamomile specifically to calm reactive skin. As with any new product, patch test first if your skin is easily triggered.
Give your face its own glass of water
One light layer, morning and night. The tightness goes first, then the dullness, and your skin stops asking by the third week.
