  • Winner of Best Hydrating Serum in Men's Folio Grooming Awards 2022 

A lightweight hydrating serum powered by electrolytes and Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) to replenish dehydrated skin, strengthen the skin barrier and deliver lasting hydration. Think of it as an energy drink for your skin, replenishing the moisture and essential minerals it needs to stay balanced, comfortable and healthy-looking.

Just as electrolytes help replenish hydration after exercise, they help attract and retain moisture in the skin while supporting the skin barrier and a healthy skin microbiome for softer, smoother and more resilient skin.

This hydration powerhouse goes beyond hyaluronic acid,combining electrolytes with amino acids, PCA and saccharides, key Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) found naturally in the skin. Together, they replenish moisture, reinforce the skin barrier and help build long-term moisture reserves for healthy-looking skin.

Good for: All skin types especially dehydrated skin.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid serums, ActivCalm Skin Quenching Serum combines electrolytes, Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) and advanced hydrating sugar technology to help skin attract, retain and regulate moisture more effectively. It also helps strengthen the skin barrier for longer-lasting hydration and healthier-looking skin.

Oily skin can still become dehydrated when it lacks water rather than oil. Dehydrated skin may even produce excess oil to compensate. This lightweight serum replenishes moisture without clogging pores, helping skin feel hydrated, balanced and comfortable.

4. Does this serum help repair a damaged skin barrier?
ActivCalm Skin Quenching Serum helps replenish hydration while supporting the skin barrier with electrolytes, Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) and moisture-binding ingredients. With continued use, skin feels stronger, more resilient and better able to retain moisture.

6. Can I use this serum with Vitamin C, retinol or other serums?

Went through many bottles of this serum. It doesnt break me out, leaves my skin feeling supple and bouncy. I have quite dry skin along with damaged skin barrier. I like that my skin drinks it up immediately. Quite worth it to buy during the sale. Price is kinda high, so good to buy during the sale!

Very happy with this serum

I have been having super dry skin and have used many products for my skin. I really love this serum and can see the difference after a few days. Skin feels more plumped and radiant and helps reduce my fine lines too.
