PLUMP  – REPLENISH  – HYDRATE

Reclaim your skin’s youthful glow and drench thirsty skin in a refreshing veil of continuous hydration with H₂O, clinically formulated to replenish even the driest, most dehydrated skin.

Powered by moisture-binding hyaluronic acid, cooling flax, and barrier-repairing panthenol, it quenches, plumps, and smooths while softening fine lines and restoring deep hydration. Suitable for all skin types, it layers beautifully under makeup, leaving your complexion plump, dewy, and refreshed.

NZ Flax & Hyaluronic acid  30ml (1.0 fl oz).

Samantha's Clinical Advice

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.

Benefits

  • 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

How to use

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.

Key Ingredients

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.

    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:):)

    • Samantha Miller –

      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.

    I have been using this with Barrier Fortify Repair. My once dry skin is now looking and feeling smooth and lovely! I don’t have the energy for a long skincare routine, this is quick and easy to apply as well as giving a good result.

    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!

    • Samantha Miller –

      Hi Erica. I am so pleased that you have found products that truly help with your skin, I remember you reaching out to me a year or so ago to help with your skin and it is great that we have been able to find a solution and rebuild your barrier and ultimately reducing inflammation which is at the heart of premature ageing. 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

  6. Olivia –

    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

  7. karen cox –

    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!

    • Samantha Miller –

      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. Samantha

  9. Courtney –

    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

  10. Cheryl –

    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!

    • Samantha Miller –
