Our signature hydrating serum is a long lasting, multifunctional solution for supple, hydrated and naturally radiant skin. Designed to deliver slow release moisture into the skin, this plant based serum works at the deepest levels of the skin to help firm and correct from the inside out.
Enriched with 14 active botanical extracts and antioxidant powerhouses, Aquus hydrates and brightens the skin, resulting in a plumper, smoother and more youthful complexion. At the same time, it also stimulates collagen production, offers protection from environmental damage (including blue light radiation) and works to combat signs of premature ageing and promotes skin firmness.
Aquus is packed with multi-hydrators and clinically proven botanical active derivatives.
This daily use serum is designed to replace both your current finishing treatments and moisturiser. The gel solution is luxuriously smooth and absorbs fully into the skin, where it works its magic from within. You’ll notice a visible improvement in your complexion and the appearance of fine lines. Your skin will feel instantly hydrated, dewy soft and naturally radiant. Thanks to the abundance of multi-hydrators and clinically proven active derivatives, the serum continues to deliver moisture to the skin throughout the day to maintain your glow.
Simple, multifunctional and effective: just the way skincare should be.
Benefits
Promotes Collagen Production: Our unique formulation supports collagen production to improve the skin’s natural elasticity and tone. It leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother and more plumper, while also aiding in reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Brightens: Aquus is enriched with a complex profile of clinically proven botanical extracts to correct imperfections and visible signs of ageing. It brightens the skin to reduce the appearance of pigmentation, scarring and other imperfections.
Plumps and Hydrates: Our potent formula works at a cellular level to hydrate the skin from within, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion. It diminishes fine lines and offers visible improvements from the first application.
Blue Light Protection: Aquus includes our specialised blue light defender, which is a naturally derived blend of Blueberry oil and Mamku Extract. It offers effective protection against High Energy Visible Light exposure (from sources such as the sun, technology and digital devices). Our defender contains the standardised levels of carotenoids and is a natural source of pro-retinol, meaning it aids in combating premature ageing and damage from pollution.
How to use:
For optimal hydration, use Aquus daily in your morning and evening skincare regime.
- After cleansing, apply 2-4 drops of the serum to your skin.
- Allow the serum to absorb before finishing with an oil (we love our No. 29).
- For intense hydration, treat your skin with a mask (we love our Honne Glow Mask) before using Aquus.
Note: Do not use Aquus in combination with products containing AHAs, BHAs or PHAs as these will reduce the effectiveness of the peptides in the formulation.
Skin Type
Suitable for all skin types whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin. Our formula is gentle yet effective, catering to the unique needs of your complexion, especially for mature skin.
Does not contain Fragrance or Essential Oils.
Please remember to perform a patch test before use to ensure compatibility with your skin.
INGREDIENTS
Mamaku: Also known as New Zealand Black Fern, Mamaku is a plant extract traditionally used by the Maori people as a medicine. When applied to the skin, it tightens and lifts the skin, while also offering intense hydration and promoting cell renewal, collagen production and optimal levels of elastin.
New Zealand Red Seaweed: This sustainably harvested antioxidant is a superior alternative to hyaluronic acid. It reverses photo-ageing and combats damage sustained from exposure to free radicals. It also helps to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture.
New Zealand Pohutukawa: Sustainably extracted from the iconic NZ ‘Christmas Tree’, Pohutukawa contains Ellagic Acid, which is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes damaged, broken and irritated skin, while also working to reduce redness and offer deep moisturisation.
Gotu Kola Extract: This traditional herbal medicine is rich in amino acids, beta carotene and antioxidants. It boosts circulation, supports cell production and stimulates the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid synthesis to reverse premature ageing.
Blueberry Oil: Our Blueberry Oil is upcycled and works as a powerful blue light defender. It offers natural protection from high energy visible light exposure (from the digital devices). Blueberry oil is also a natural source of pro retinol and it’s high in linoleic acid, which makes it a wonderfully nourishing anti-ageing ingredient.
