Dermatologist's View

"A lightweight gel serum like this can be a useful hydrating step for skin that feels dry, tight, or a little dull. Humectant-rich ingredients help the skin feel fresher and more comfortable, while the gel texture keeps the formula easy to layer without feeling heavy."

Naturopath's View

"This recipe brings together ingredients that each add something different to the feel of the formula. Aloe vera gives it a fresh gel base, hyaluronic acid adds a dewy water-binding touch, quinoa peptide brings a soft smoothing note, and glycerin helps the skin feel more supple. The result is simple, fresh, and easy to use every day."
