Ultra-light hydration that never feels heavy
The moisturiser we recommend more than any other. Hydralite sinks in within seconds, leaves no greasy film and won't clog pores, yet your skin feels calm, soft and properly hydrated all day. Abyssinian oil and Rooibos tea extract do the work, and it sits beautifully under sunscreen and makeup.

made the cut
One of only three products we sell
Every skin needs moisture, including oily skin, but most people give up on moisturiser because it feels heavy, greasy or causes breakouts. Hydralite solves all three. It is light enough for oily skin, comforting enough for dry and sensitised skin, and it disappears under sunscreen and makeup. It is the moisturiser we hand to people who usually skip moisturiser.

Abyssinian oil and Rooibos tea extract keep the skin calm, supple and comfortable.
- 04
Works morning and evening, and layers perfectly under the Solar Defence Fluid 50.

Your questions, answered
Will the Hydralite Moisturiser make oily skin oilier?
It is ultra-light and non-clogging, which is exactly why we recommend it for oily and combination skin. Many oily skins become less oily once they are properly hydrated.
Is it rich enough for dry skin?
For most dry skin, yes, used morning and evening. If your skin still feels tight, apply a second thin layer to the dry areas and book a consultation so we can look at why.
Can I use it at night?
Yes. It is designed for both morning and evening use, so there is nothing to swap.
Does it contain SPF?
No. Always follow it with the Solar Defence Fluid 50 in the morning.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. It absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy film. In the morning, follow it with the Solar Defence Fluid 50, give both a minute to settle, then apply makeup as usual.
I have allergies. What's in it?
The full ingredient list is on this page. It contains plant oils and butters, including grape seed oil, shea butter and Abyssinian oil. If you react easily, patch test on your inner arm first, or bring it to your consultation and we will check it with you.
Can I use it after a peel or microneedling?
Yes, once your skin is ready for moisturiser. Follow the aftercare you are given on the day; a light, calming moisturiser like Hydralite is exactly what treated skin needs afterwards.
