Hyaluronic Hydra Boost Gel puts Aquaxyl and sodium hyaluronate at the centre of a twice-daily moisture step for skin that feels tight, dry or unsettled. A lightweight, fast-absorbing gel with niacinamide, allantoin, panthenol and licorice root in support, for all skin types.
FOR SKIN THAT FEELS TIGHT, DRY OR UNSETTLED BY MIDDAY
Skin feels tight when its surface loses water faster than it can hold it. A water gel with humectants adds moisture back and helps keep it there; niacinamide, allantoin and panthenol make the result feel calm as well as hydrated.
Glycerin, Aquaxyl and sodium hyaluronate hold water at the surface, and the gel base absorbs quickly, so skin feels comfortable rather than coated.
Aquaxyl is a sugar-derived complex used in moisturisers for lasting hydration. Here it is paired with betaine and hyaluronate so the hydrated feel is designed to last, not just land.
Niacinamide, panthenol and vitamin E are known for a settled, well-kept barrier feel. The gel is formulated to support the barrier, not to treat damaged skin.
Allantoin and panthenol are classic soothing ingredients, and licorice root extract is known for the same. Together they are chosen for skin that feels tight, warm or irritable after cleansing.
Niacinamide and licorice root are both known for a more even-looking tone with regular use. Expect that effect gradually, and under daily sunscreen.
A water gel with no heavy oils suits oily and combination skin as a moisturiser on its own, and dry skin as the hydrating layer under a cream. Patch test if your skin is sensitive.
TWO HYDRATION HEROES · FIVE SOOTHING AND TONE ACTIVES
Aquaxyl and sodium hyaluronate are the formula anchors. Niacinamide, allantoin, panthenol, licorice root and vitamin E support comfort and tone; all of them appear in the full composition published on this page. Open each card for what the ingredient is known for, without pretending that an ingredient and a measured result on this jar are the same thing.
Aquaxyl is a trade name for a complex of plant sugars: xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol and xylitol. In moisturisers it is known for hydrating the skin surface and helping it hold water over the day. This card describes the ingredient, not a measured result on this jar.
Sodium hyaluronate is the water-soluble salt of hyaluronic acid. It binds many times its own weight in water and is known for an immediate plump, hydrated feel. The claim is about the ingredient, not a result on this gel.
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and one of the best-known skincare ingredients. It is known for a more even-looking tone, a comfortable barrier and a smoother surface. Ingredient description, not a measurement on this gel.
Allantoin is a classic soothing ingredient, used for decades in products for skin that feels tight or irritable. It is known for a calm, comfortable feel. This describes the ingredient, not a measured result here.
Panthenol is a form of vitamin B5 known for soothing and for helping skin feel soft and hydrated. In this gel it supports both the comfort and the moisture story. The card describes the ingredient, not a result on this jar.
Licorice root extract is a traditional botanical known for soothing and for a brighter, more even-looking tone. As with every card here, this describes the plant, not a result on the finished product.
Vitamin E acetate is a stable form of vitamin E, known as an antioxidant and for a conditioned skin feel. It sits late in the list as support for the barrier story, not as a hero.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HYDRATION CLAIM AND A HYDRATION ROUTINE
Dry-feeling skin is usually dehydrated skin: the surface has lost water to washing, air-conditioning and weather. Humectants such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and Aquaxyl bind water and keep it near the surface, where it is felt.
A gel adds water; it does not seal it in. That is why the pack directs a moisturiser over it when skin needs one, and sunscreen in the day. The honest payoff is skin that feels soft, calm and comfortable while it stays hydrated, not a number of hours.
THE TWICE-DAILY GEL STEP
A small amount goes further on slightly damp skin. Follow the current pack for quantity and frequency, and patch test before first use.
Cleanse, then leave skin slightly damp. Humectants have more water to hold that way.
Take a small amount and spread it evenly over face and neck, massaging lightly until fully absorbed.
The pack suggests morning and night. In the daytime, follow with a moisturiser if your skin needs one and finish with sunscreen. Follow the current pack.

THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEIR FIRST JAR
It is a hydrating water gel. For oily and combination skin it can be the moisturiser; for dry skin, the pack suggests a moisturiser over it when needed.

It is a light gel designed to absorb quickly. Use a small amount on slightly damp skin; if it feels tacky, you have used more than you need.
The colour comes from CI 42090, a cosmetic colourant listed last in the composition. It is not an active and does not tint the skin.
The published composition lists no alcohol, no parabens and no added parfum; the preservatives are phenoxyethanol and sodium benzoate. The full list is on this page.
