What is it?
A lightweight gel serum designed to deeply hydrate and smooth the skin using three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, New Zealand mamaku extract and pro-vitamin B5.
What does it do?
Hydrates, soothes and supports the skin barrier. High, medium and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid work together to support both immediate and longer-lasting hydration. High molecular weight HA helps smooth and hydrate the skin's surface, while medium and lower molecular weights support moisture retention and help reduce transepidermal water loss. Mamaku extract and panthenol help comfort the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and well-hydrated.
Triple Hyaluronic Acid
A blend of high, medium and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to support hydration at different levels of the skin. Helps give immediate surface plumpness while supporting longer-lasting moisture.
Pro-Vitamin B5
Also known as panthenol. Helps the skin hold onto moisture, supports the skin barrier and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable.
NZ Mamaku Extract
Extracted from the New Zealand black tree fern. Mamaku has a long history of traditional use in Māori rongoā and contains natural mucopolysaccharides known for their soothing and moisturising properties.
Use after cleansing and toning, before eye care, moisturiser and facial oils.
Routine order:
Cleanse → Tone → Triple HA Hydrating Serum → Eye Care → Moisturiser → SPF
Apply 2–3 drops to clean, damp skin on the face and neck. Gently press or pat into the skin. Use morning and night.
Pro Tips
- Apply to damp skin so hyaluronic acid has water to bind to. Follow with a moisturiser to help seal hydration in.
- Layer before facial oils, retinol or vitamin C products.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Refrigeration is optional if you prefer a cooling feel on the skin.

What's not in it

- No alcohol
- No parabens
- No silicones
- No essential oils
Contains a light natural aroma from neroli hydrosol.
Yes. This serum plays well with most skincare actives, including vitamin C, niacinamide, bakuchiol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, peptides, facial oils, moisturisers and sunscreen.
The formula is mainly hydration-focused, so it can help buffer the dry or tight feeling that sometimes comes with stronger actives.
Use with care: strong exfoliating acids, prescription retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or multiple active treatments in the same routine. These are not incompatible with hyaluronic acid, but the full routine may be too much for sensitive or barrier-impaired skin.
For best results, apply this serum first on slightly damp skin, then follow with treatments or moisturiser.
No added fragrance oil or essential oil. The serum has a light natural aroma that comes from neroli hydrosol — a botanical water, not a perfume oil.
Suitable for all skin types. Patch test first if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
Hyaluronic acid gives an immediate hydrated, plumped feel on application. Ongoing softness and barrier comfort build with consistent daily use.
