What it does
Size

This seemingly subtle moisturizer has a secret: it’s a dark spot lightener, makeup primer and environmental armor. Deep Hydration creates a soft, plumped canvas for the day while defending against UV, pollution, and urban stressors. Its power players — tripeptides, beta glucan, oat, and plum — work in synergy to hydrate, smooth, and even tone.

A hybrid of gel and balm, it melts in like water but leaves a delicate cushion on the skin. Alpha arbutin brightens, while the hyaluronic complex floods skin with moisture. Mushrooms and peptides deliver calm and repair, making this formula both shield and sanctuary. Think of it as a souffle for the skin — light, luscious, and quietly powerful.

Featuring: DAP-33 Peptide + Alpha Arbutin.

What It Does

Why is Deep Hydration considered a “hybrid” formula?
It bridges the benefits of a gel and a balm — hydrating like a serum while providing the priming, smoothing effects of a cream.

What makes it ideal for city or high-stress environments?
The antioxidant-rich base protects against oxidative damage and pollution, while peptides and oat extract help skin resist UV-related stress and dehydration.

Does it work for all skin types?
Yes. Its breathable texture balances oil and moisture, making it equally effective for dry, blemished, or mature skin.

How does it support brightening?
Alpha arbutin and niacinamide help even tone, reduce the look of discoloration, and restore luminosity over time.

Why do mature skin users love it?
The formula plumps fine lines, reinforces barrier integrity, and visibly restores smoothness without heaviness — perfect for hormonally shifting or moisture-depleted skin.

Ingredients

What does Alpha Arbutin do for the skin?
Alpha arbutin is a gentle, plant-derived brightener that helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation while supporting an even, luminous tone.

How does Beta Glucan enhance hydration and healing?
Derived from oats and mushrooms, beta glucan acts as a natural humectant and skin soother, improving elasticity and calming irritation while deeply hydrating.

What role do Hyaluronic Acids play here?
This formula includes four molecular weights of hyaluronic acid — from crosslinked to low-molecular — to hydrate every layer of the skin, lock in moisture, and provide all-day plumpness.

What is DAP-33 and why is it important?
DAP-33 (Diacetyl Boldine) is a peptide-based antioxidant that helps counter UV-induced oxidation and promotes radiance, making it both a protector and tone-refiner.

Why include Plum Seed Oil?
From the rose family, plum seed oil is rich in omega-9 fatty acids and antioxidants. It nourishes while imparting a delicate, naturally fragrant finish.

How do Oat and Rice Bran Extracts fit in?
These gentle botanicals help reinforce the skin’s barrier, soothe irritation, and smooth texture — particularly beneficial for sensitive or stressed complexions.
