At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling like your skin is both oily on the surface but tight and dry underneath? That's a classic sign of dehydration in our humid Mauritian climate. This serum is your solution.
This ultra-lightweight, water-based serum delivers a powerful dose of hydration deep into the skin without any stickiness. Formulated with a 3-Complex Hyaluronic Acid, it plumps up the skin from within, balances oil production, and strengthens your skin's moisture barrier, leaving it feeling comfortable, supple, and refreshed all day long.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
- Jumiso Waterfull Serum (THIS PRODUCT): Apply 2-3 drops to damp skin and pat in.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Lock in the hydration and protect your skin.
Mindful Tip: Already own a hydrating serum? Finish it first before opening a new one. Substitute, don’t stack, to avoid waste and irritation.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Jumiso Waterfull Serum → 3) Sunscreen (SPF 30+)
- Optional: If your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, you can apply a light, gel-based moisturiser after the serum and before the sunscreen.
- Wait Times: Allow the serum to absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying your next step. Wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant SPF) → 2) Jumiso Waterfull Serum → 3) Moisturiser
- Optional: On nights you use an exfoliant (AHA/BHA), apply it after cleansing and before this serum to allow the exfoliant to work effectively. This serum will then help rehydrate the skin.
- Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest. This serum will come after toners but before creams.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM/PM:
- Amount: 2–3 drops is sufficient for the entire face and neck.
- Apply to: Freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin. This is crucial for hyaluronic acid to work best, as it draws moisture into the skin.
- Method: Dispense onto your fingertips, gently smooth over your face and neck, then lightly pat until absorbed. Avoid rubbing.
- Frequency: Start once daily (e.g., in the PM) to see how your skin likes it, then increase to twice daily (AM and PM) if needed for extra hydration.
If-This / Then-That:
- If your T-zone is very oily: This serum is perfect. It provides water-based hydration that can help balance sebum production without adding grease. You might find your AM moisturiser or SPF is enough on top.
- If your skin feels dry from air-conditioning: This serum is a must. Keep it at your desk for a midday hydration boost (pat a drop over your existing skincare). At night, be sure to seal it in with a good moisturiser.
- If your skin is sensitive or reactive: This fragrance-free formula is gentle. Apply it before other actives (like retinoids or acids) to create a hydrating buffer, which can reduce potential irritation.
- If you're using strong actives (retinoids/acids): Use this serum generously on alternate nights or layered underneath your active to keep your skin barrier healthy and hydrated, minimising peeling and sensitivity.
Watchouts: A sticky or tight feeling after application usually means you've applied it to dry skin or haven't sealed it with a moisturiser. Always apply to damp skin and follow with a cream or lotion!
Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Patch test before first use.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This is a gentle, daily-use hydrator. It fits into any routine, every day.
- Daily: AM and PM, after cleansing and before your moisturiser/sunscreen.
- With Actives: On nights you use exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, this serum is an excellent supportive step. Apply it after your active to replenish hydration and support your skin barrier.
Mauritius Note: In our humid weather, this lightweight serum can provide all the hydration needed for oily skin types under sunscreen during the day.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels instantly quenched, plump, and soothed. Any feeling of tightness is relieved. The finish is dewy and fresh.
- 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, you'll notice skin appears more balanced. Oily areas may seem less greasy by midday, as skin is properly hydrated and doesn't need to overproduce oil. Fine lines caused by dehydration will look softer.
- 4–8+ weeks: Your skin's moisture barrier is stronger. Skin feels more resilient, supple, and consistently hydrated. You may experience fewer issues with sensitivity or dryness, even in air-conditioned environments.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Myth: "My skin is oily, so I shouldn't use a hydrator or moisturizer."
- Why this, not that: Choose this lightweight, water-based serum instead of skipping hydration. Oily skin is often dehydrated, causing it to produce even more oil to compensate. This serum delivers pure hydration (water), which helps balance your skin and can actually reduce surface oiliness over time, without clogging pores.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
This hyaluronic acid serum is a universal team player and works well with almost all other skincare ingredients.
- Works Well With: Vitamin C, Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal), Niacinamide, AHAs (Glycolic Acid), BHAs (Salicylic Acid), and Peptides. It can help hydrate the skin and reduce the potential for irritation from these stronger active ingredients.
- Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. The only "careful" point is procedural: always apply it to damp skin and follow with a moisturiser to lock in the hydration, especially in dry, air-conditioned rooms.
- Avoid On: Do not apply on broken or irritated skin without consulting a professional.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides essential water-based hydration without adding any oil or greasiness, helping to balance sebum production.
- Dehydrated Skin: Holy Grail. Directly addresses the lack of water in the skin, leaving it plump and comfortable.
- Dry Skin: Very good as a first hydration step. It must be layered under a richer, more occlusive cream or oil to seal in the moisture it provides.
- Sensitive Skin: Excellent. The formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, and contains soothing ingredients like Panthenol and Allantoin.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Very good. It's non-comedogenic and provides hydration that can support the skin barrier, which is often compromised by harsh acne treatments.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dehydration (lack of water in the skin)
- Tightness and discomfort
- Fine lines and wrinkles caused by dryness
- Compromised or weakened skin barrier

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: My skin feels sticky or tacky after application.
Quick Fix: You may be using too much product, or applying it to completely dry skin. Use only 2-3 drops and always apply to a slightly damp face. Follow up with a moisturiser to seal it in, which usually eliminates any tackiness. -
Issue: My skin still feels tight after using it.
Quick Fix: This serum is a humectant; its job is to pull water into the skin. If the air is very dry (like in a strong AC room) and you don't seal it in, it can't hold onto moisture. Always layer a moisturiser (a cream, lotion, or even a light oil) on top to lock in the hydration. -
Issue: The product is pilling or balling up under my makeup/sunscreen.
Quick Fix: This is usually caused by applying too much product or not waiting long enough between steps. Use a thinner layer and wait a full 1-2 minutes for it to absorb before applying your next product.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: This serum is perfect for our hot, sticky summers. It provides intense hydration without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional creams, which can feel suffocating in high humidity. For oily skin types, this serum followed by sunscreen may be all the daytime moisture you need.
- Drier Winter/AC Environments: In our milder, drier winter months or if you spend long hours in air-conditioning, this serum is essential for preventing dehydration. Be sure to layer a slightly more substantial moisturiser on top to combat the dry air.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
Q: Why does my skin feel sticky after using this hyaluronic acid serum?
A: Stickiness usually happens for two reasons: you're applying it to dry skin, or you're using too much. Make sure your face is slightly damp before application, and use only 2-3 drops. Follow with a moisturiser to seal it in.
Q: Can I use this serum instead of a moisturiser?
A: For very oily skin in our humid climate, maybe. But for most, it's best to think of this serum as a hydration booster. It gives your skin water, but a moisturiser provides lipids and oils to lock that water in. It's best to use both for optimal results.
Q: Is it safe to use this with my Vitamin C or Retinol serum?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's a great product to layer with stronger actives. It will provide a hydrating cushion that can help reduce potential irritation and keep your skin barrier healthy while the active ingredient does its work.
