What It Is Designed to Do

AquaLock Serum™ combines complementary humectants, skin-conditioning ingredients, emollients and antioxidants in a lightweight Green Micellar™ serum. It is designed to increase immediate skin hydration while supporting moisture retention and day-to-day barrier comfort.

  • replenish hydration in dry-feeling or dehydrated skin;
  • help reduce the feeling of tightness and discomfort;
  • support smoother, softer and more supple-looking skin;
  • help maintain moisture within the skin’s surface layers;
  • provide lightweight emollient and barrier-comfort support;
  • layer easily with antioxidant, retinol and sunscreen routines.

Cosmetic results vary with skin condition, climate, routine consistency and individual response.

Your Daily Routine

2 · TREATApply Youthful CEFQ™ or Q‑Retinol Pro™ when used.
3 · HYDRATEApply AquaLock Serum™.
4 · SEAL & PROTECTAdd moisturiser if required; use sunscreen every morning.

Apply treatment products first, then use AquaLock Serum™ as the hydration step.

Powered by Green Micellar™ Technology

A lightweight micellar formulation system designed to incorporate and distribute compatible water- and oil-soluble cosmetic ingredients across the applied area. In AquaLock Serum™, the system brings together humectants, squalane, skin-conditioning ingredients and antioxidants in an easily layered hydration serum.

A Multi-Pathway Hydration System

Hydration & Moisture Retention

Sodium PCA, sodium lactate, urea, trehalose, beta-glucan and sodium hyaluronate help attract and retain water at the skin surface, supporting a smoother and more comfortable feel.

Barrier Comfort & Conditioning

Squalane, panthenol, Lactobacillus Ferment and aloe provide complementary emollient and skin-conditioning support, while the antioxidant system helps maintain healthy-looking skin.

Serum or Gel? AquaLock Serum™ and AquaLock Gel™ use the same core formula in alternative textures. AquaLock Gel™ is thickened with 4.5% silica. Choose one according to your preferred feel; routinely layering both is unnecessary.

Detailed Guidance

How to use
  1. Cleanse the face and neck, then gently dry.
  2. If using a treatment serum, apply it first.
  3. Apply 2–4 drops of AquaLock Serum™ and smooth over the face and neck in a thin, even layer.
  4. Allow it to settle before applying the next product.
  5. Follow with moisturiser where additional richness or occlusion is required.
  6. In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Use morning, evening or both according to skin needs. In humid conditions or for oilier skin, AquaLock Serum™ may provide sufficient lightweight hydration without a separate moisturiser.

Recommended morning and evening routines

Morning

Cleanse → Youthful CEFQ Serum™ or SkinMist™ if used → AquaLock Serum™ → Moisturiser if required → Sunscreen

Evening

Cleanse → Q‑Retinol Pro Serum™ or Night Gel™ if used → AquaLock Serum™ → Moisturiser if required

If you are not using a treatment product, apply AquaLock Serum™ directly after cleansing or a gentle facial mist.

Suitable pairings and application order

AquaLock Serum™ may generally be paired with a mild cleanser, gentle hydrating mist, Youthful CEFQ Serum™ or SkinMist™, Q‑Retinol Pro Serum™ or Night Gel™, a suitable moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Apply thinner treatment serums first and AquaLock Serum™ afterwards. If using a richer cream or facial oil, apply it after AquaLock Serum™. Sunscreen remains the final morning skincare step.

AquaLock Serum™ versus AquaLock Gel™

Both products use the same core AquaLock formula. AquaLock Serum™ has a lighter, more fluid texture, while AquaLock Gel™ contains an additional 4.5% silica to create a thicker gel format.

Choose the Serum when you prefer fluid, fast-spreading hydration or easy layering. Choose the Gel when you prefer a thicker texture with more cushion and staying power. Because they provide the same core ingredient system, most customers should select one rather than routinely applying both together.

What to expect and troubleshooting

The serum should spread easily and leave the skin feeling hydrated and comfortable without a heavy, greasy or sticky finish. It can be adjusted seasonally: use a smaller amount in hot, humid weather and add moisturiser when the skin needs greater richness.

If the product pills, apply less, allow each layer to settle and reduce the number of products used at once. If stinging, redness or persistent discomfort develops, stop use until the skin feels normal. Reintroduce less frequently and discontinue if irritation persists.

Important precautions and patch testing
  • For external use only.
  • Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
  • Do not apply to broken, irritated or inflamed skin.
  • Discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Store away from excessive heat and direct light.
  • Follow the directions and precautions printed on the packaging.

Patch test

Before first use, apply a small amount behind the ear or along the jawline and observe for 24–48 hours. Do not proceed if marked redness, swelling, itching or persistent discomfort develops. A patch test cannot guarantee that irritation will not occur during continued use.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use AquaLock Serum™ every day?

Yes. It is designed for regular morning and evening hydration. Adjust the amount or frequency according to your skin’s needs.

How much should I apply?

Use 2–4 drops for the face and neck, or the amount stated on the final product packaging.

Does it replace moisturiser?

It may provide sufficient lightweight hydration for some skin types, particularly in humid weather. Drier skin may benefit from applying a moisturiser afterwards.

Yes. Apply Youthful CEFQ Serum™ or SkinMist™ first, then AquaLock Serum™, followed by sunscreen in the morning.

Can I use it with Q‑Retinol Pro™?

Yes. Apply Q‑Retinol Pro Serum™ or Night Gel™ first and AquaLock Serum™ afterwards to provide additional hydration and routine comfort.

Can I use AquaLock Serum™ with AquaLock Gel™?

They contain the same core formula in alternative textures, so routinely layering both is unnecessary. Select the format that best suits your texture preference.

Can I apply it to damp skin?

Yes, it may be applied to slightly damp skin after cleansing or misting. Do not apply over dripping-wet skin, and follow with moisturiser if additional moisture-sealing support is needed.
