Mini Activcalm Skin Quenching Serum
Winner of “Best Hydrating Serum” in Her World Beauty Awards 2022 Editor's Choice
An electrolyte-filled cocktail formulated with a unique blend of electrolytes that work like an energy drink for your skin, providing intense hydration to effectively quench and soothe dehydrated skin.
Electrolytes are the star ingredients that make energy drinks the go-to choice when one is in dire need of hydration. They are made up of minerals that help attract and retain water, drawing moisture into the skin barrier and locking it in for long-lasting hydration. This helps to optimise the other ingredients to rebalance the skin’s microbiome and reduce skin sensitivity.
This hydration powerhouse goes beyond hyaluronic acid, incorporating a range of Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs) such as amino acids, PCA, and saccharides, which make up our skin barrier. These ingredients work together to create a holistic approach to hydration, ensuring that your skin stays hydrated, supple and healthy.
For lasting quenching that builds long-term moisture reserves inside your skin, look no further than these electrolyte dreams.
Non-comedogenic and specially formulated for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin.

- 10% Amino acids, electrolytes, & natural amino acid derivative Pyroglutamic acid (PCA): Strengthen skin barrier and effectively deliver soothing hydration with this electrolyte cocktail. Electrolytes are minerals (potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium) that attract water, and are lost through sweat. With their extremely small molecular size (<500DA), they are able to penetrate quicker into the skin, just like how sports drinks help to replace lost water and electrolytes after a vigorous workout. By replenishing electrolytes with this skin quenching serum, the skin cells and in turn, the skin, are able to regulate and rebalance their pH level, allowing them to attract and hold moisture to stay hydrated for longer hours.
Amino acids and PCAs are building blocks of proteins that are also part of the skin's natural moisturising NMF. They work well with electrolytes to hydrate and strengthen the skin, and increase the skin's resilience.
- Encapsulated Sugar Technology: Boosts longer-lasting hydration by layering a protective film over the skin that locks in essential NMF actives and releasing sugar actives into the skin over time. Skin is 2.5 times more moisturised in 1 to 8 hours after a single topical application. After 24 hours, the skin remains moisturised and is 20 times more moisturised.
- Hydrolysed Yeast Protein: Rebalances the skin’s microbiome, the ecosystem of naturally occurring bacteria on the skin’s surface. By influencing the synthesis of lipids in the epidermis, it speeds up recovery of our skin’s natural protective barrier and rectifies dehydration.
