Key Benefits & What It Does

Intense & Long-Lasting Hydration

• The hyaluronic acid in Moisture Surge draws water into skin and helps maintain moisture deep within, giving you a plumped, dewy look. 

• Many users report that their skin feels soft, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the day or overnight — not just immediately after application. 

Lightweight, Non-Greasy Texture — Ideal for All Skin Types

• The gel-cream format feels light, refreshing, and absorbs quickly — with no heavy or greasy residue, which makes it great for layering under makeup or SPF.

• Works equally well for dry, normal, combination, and even oily skin — especially for those prone to dehydration but reluctant to use heavy creams. 

Soothes, Calms & Refreshes Skin

• The formula includes an aloe bio-ferment that helps calm and soothe skin — which is particularly useful after exfoliation, shaving, or exposure to harsh weather.

• Because the lotion is fragrance-free and allergy-tested, it’s more suitable than many creams for sensitive or reactive skin. 

Versatile — Day & Night Use; Under Makeup or As Mask

• Gentle enough for morning and evening routines.

• Absorbs quickly enough to act as a makeup base. 

• Some users even use it as a 5-minute moisture mask for a quick skin refresh.

Key Ingredient Science & Why It Works

Who Is This Moisturizer Best For?

Ideal For:

• All ages — especially people from late 20s to 60+ who want to maintain hydration and prevent dry-skin aging.

• All skin types — dry, normal, combination, and even oily skin, especially if prone to dehydration or seasonal dryness.

• People looking for a lightweight daily moisturizer that layers well under makeup or SPF.

• Those with sensitive or reactive skin, or anyone avoiding heavy creams and strong fragrances.

• People living in dry or changing climates, or who spend many hours in air-conditioned/heated environments.

Might Be Less Ideal For:

• People needing a heavy-duty anti-aging cream (deep wrinkles, sagging, advanced age lines) — this is primarily a hydration product, not a firming or wrinkle-repair serum.

• Those with very dry skin in harsh winter climates — may need layering or a richer cream for overnight use.

How to Use — Recommended Routine

Morning or Night:

• Cleanse face gently

• Tone or apply serum (optional)

• Take a pea-to-pearl sized amount of Moisture Surge and gently smooth over face and neck

• For daytime: follow with sunscreen or makeup

• For night: let skin absorb — you can layer a richer moisturizer over it if you like

Extra Tip: On extra-dry days or after travel/air conditioning, apply a second thin layer for added hydration boost.

Pros & Cons

• As a gel-cream, may not be rich enough for very dry skin in harsh winter — might need pairing with a heavier night cream

• Hydration results vary depending on climate and skin condition — extremely dry or dehydrated skin might need more layered hydration
