H₂O Hydrating Skin Shot

I created H₂O as I wanted a multifunctional hydrator that supports the skin through every phase—before, during, and after treatment—while addressing a wide range of concerns, from dehydration to barrier repair.

Dehydration: The Hidden Culprit

Tightness, irritation, fine lines, even excess oil—these often stem from a lack of hydration. When water levels drop, your skin becomes imbalanced and vulnerable to inflammation and ageing.
Enter hyaluronic acid: a humectant that draws water deep into the skin and locks it in.

Hydration & Ageing

As we age, hyaluronic acid levels drop—by your 50s, up to 70% may be lost.
The result? Dryness, dullness, lines, and reduced elasticity. Topical replenishment helps restore moisture and maintain a plump, resilient glow.

Yes, Oily Skin Can Be Dehydrated

Lack of water triggers excess oil production—leading to congestion and breakouts.

Restoring hydration calms this cycle, regulating oil and rebalancing skin.

Why Clinics Love Our Low-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid

Before treatment: Preps and hydrates the barrier.

During treatment: It reduces friction and enhances glide.

After treatment: Soothes, protects, and speeds recovery.

Supports the immune (granulosum) layer—helping defend against post-procedure infection.

Ideal for Microneedling & Laser

• Use daily for 1 week pre-treatment to strengthen the skin.
• Apply during treatment for comfort and glide.
• Use 4+ days post-treatment to seal microchannels and protect the skin during the healing phase.

• Calms inflammation and soothes sunburned skin
• Stimulates collagen for firmer, plumper skin
• Balances oil production and delivers deep hydration 
• Replenishes hyaluronic acid levels lost with age
• Provides instant moisture for a dewy, healthy glow
• Forms a protective veil to seal microtears and support post-treatment recovery

At sunrise and sunset, apply 3–5 drops over your face, neck, and décolleté — even the backs of your hands or anywhere in need of hydration — before your moisturiser.

Pro tip 1: For the ultimate skin smoothie sandwich, start with H₂O, layer with Quench gel, and seal it all in with Fortify cream for deep, lasting hydration.

Pro Tip 2: For that coveted glass skin glow, prep with Glo, mist with Elixir, apply a few drops of H₂O, and finish with Xcell skin shot to lock in moisture and keep your complexion dewy and balanced all day.

Hyaluronic acid: Naturally found in every skin cell, hyaluronic acid holds over 1,000 times its weight in water, delivering deep hydration and visibly plumper skin. As levels decline with age, the skin becomes more prone to dehydration and fine lines. Topical application helps replenish moisture, smooth the complexion, and support a more youthful, supple appearance.

New Zealand Flax Extract: This soothing botanical gel hydrates, calms irritation, and reduces redness and puffiness. Rich in natural antimicrobial compounds, it helps regulate oil production and protect against breakouts—ideal for sensitive, reactive, or blemish-prone skin.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5): A powerful skin conditioner, panthenol strengthens the barrier, supports healing, and softens the appearance of fine lines. It enhances resilience, reduces sensitivity, and restores a calm, well-nourished glow.
