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.

Amazing product I love it!!! My skin was always feeling really dehydrated until I found this product. Love it so much and it has made a huge difference to my skin:):)

Hi Krystal. We are really pleased you are getting such good results and that your skin is more hydrated, don’t forget to layer with your occlusive moisturiser as humectants can get taken up by the air.

My name is Erica, live in Toronto. My face used to be very dry, extremely sensitive, and red. I started to get severe sun burn in my face in 2017 even when it was cloudy or raining. Dermatologists told me that I had rosacea and there were no cures for it. I was desperately searching for products that would help to repair my damaged skin barrier until I found Bio Lipid and Fortify Moisturizer on thenakedchemist site in 2018. I contacted Samantha and told her my problems, and got her response immediately. She offered me her personalized advice and also suggested me to use H2O together with Bio Lipid and Fortify Moisturizer, which they worked so well on my face. The condition of my skin started to improve right away. Since then, I have also used DNA, GLO, Miracle Cleanse. I absolutely love every one of them. My face has never been so healthy, bright. I have friends told me my face looks great which it never happened before.
Samantha, thank you so much! Your products are amazing!

This to me then is what it is all about positive results for clients such as you and I for one could not be more pleased, thank you so much for the review. Yours in skin health. Samantha

This product is amazing! I usually have super dry skin and struggle finding products that work well for it. This Hydrating skin shot has made my skin feel extremely dewy, bouncy, replenished and hydrated. Big thank you to the Naked Chemist 🙂
Samantha Miller –
Hi, Olivia, I am so pleased you like it for its skin-plumping, hydrating properties and so glad it is helping return your skin back to health. Kind regards Samantha

I love H2O Hydrating Complex! It soaks right into my skin, unlike other products I’ve used. I read Courtney’s review and I couldn’t agree more…I feel like I hit the skincare lottery. I live in the USA and I’m now using products from New Zealand (Naked Chemist). It’s well worth the wait. My skin looks so healthy. I use H2O hydrating complex first, then I layer other skin-shots and finally Fortifying Barrier Cream. Great recipe for me!

Hi Karen
Thank you so much for this review, H20 is. hero product amongst my clients and for good reason. With any types of humectants such as hyaluronic acid they will get taken up by the air, so you are very right in that layering is the important next step in locking this all important molecule close to the skin.

I love this product. It is a staple in my skincare routine. I haven’t found any other product that has such a pure ingredient list with 2% HA in its formula. I felt like I hit the skincare lottery when I stumbled across this site. Oh, and the fact that Samantha offers customizable blends and personalized advice is just icing on the cake. Thank you for your passion and expertise!
Samantha Miller –
Courtney wonderful feedback, thank you so much. Samantha

The first step in my daily skin care routine involves splashing on a few drops of H2O. What a refreshing feeling as the H2O works its magic and immediately begins to hydrate my skin! Once my skin is hydrated, I incorporate the Bio Lipid and ACE skin shots, and top everything with a bit of FORTIFY moisturizer. I love how the layers of these products hydrate, moisturize, and protect my face!
I have been extremely impressed with the quality of every Naked Chemist product I have tried. I am equally impressed with the personalized care provided by Samantha. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to repairing and maintaining healthy skin, and I especially appreciate her passion for helping her clients!
Thank you Samantha for the great products and exceptional customer service!
