At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or gets easily irritated, it's likely dehydrated. This vegan ampoule uses an 8-layer Hyaluronic Acid complex and a soothing 5-Cica recipe to replenish moisture at every level, calm redness, and restore a healthy, balanced feel without stickiness.
- Skin Type: Ideal for all skin types, especially dehydrated, combination, oily, and sensitive skin.
- Key Benefits: Provides deep, long-lasting hydration, soothes irritation and redness, strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, and improves skin texture.
- Texture: A refreshing, lightweight serum that absorbs quickly.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
- Swimming Pool Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to your face and neck.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Lock in the hydration and protect your skin.
Note: Already own a hydrating serum? Finish that first. The goal is to substitute and improve your routine, not just add more steps.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):
- Gentle Cleanser: Wash away overnight impurities.
- (Optional) Hydrating Toner: Apply a toner for an extra layer of moisture.
- Swimming Pool Ampoule: Dispense 2-3 drops and pat gently into the skin.
- Sunscreen (SPF 30+): Essential for protecting your skin and the results of your routine.
Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds for the ampoule to absorb before applying sunscreen.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist Routine (3 steps):
- Cleanser: If wearing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser, then follow with a water-based cleanser (double cleanse).
- Swimming Pool Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to replenish moisture.
- Moisturiser: Use a cream or gel to seal in the hydration overnight.
Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: 2-3 drops for the entire face and neck.
- Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned skin.
- Method: Dispense onto fingertips, spread gently across the face, and pat lightly to aid absorption.
- Frequency: Use daily, both morning (AM) and evening (PM).
- Pro Tip: For an extra glow, mix a single drop with your foundation to prevent it from looking dry or cakey.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation or rash occurs. Patch testing before full-face application is recommended.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels instantly refreshed, hydrated, and soothed. A feeling of tightness from dehydration is relieved.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, the skin's moisture barrier becomes stronger. You may notice less redness, irritation, and a more balanced complexion (less oily-dehydrated fluctuation).
- 4-8+ Weeks: Skin texture appears smoother and plumper. The consistent hydration helps maintain a healthy, radiant glow.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Myth: "Oily skin doesn't need hydration; it needs to be dried out."
Truth: Oily skin is often a sign of dehydration. When your skin lacks water, it overproduces oil to compensate. Using a lightweight, oil-free hydrator like the Swimming Pool Ampoule helps balance the skin by giving it the water it needs, which can signal your sebaceous glands to produce less oil over time. Choose this instead of harsh, alcohol-based toners that strip the skin and worsen the problem.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This ampoule is a perfect team player. Layer it with other hydrators, moisturisers, and any daily sunscreen. It can also be combined with active ingredients like Vitamin C or Retinol to help soothe and mitigate potential irritation from those stronger treatments.
- Use Carefully: No major conflicts. Just remember to apply it after cleansing and toning, but before heavier creams or oils to ensure it absorbs properly.
- Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or wounded skin without consulting a professional.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily & Combination: Excellent. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture provides necessary hydration without adding grease or clogging pores.
- Dry & Dehydrated: A holy grail. The 8-layer hyaluronic acid complex delivers deep, lasting moisture to relieve tightness and flakiness.
- Sensitive & Reactive: Highly suitable. The formula is free of common irritants like alcohol and artificial fragrance, and is packed with soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Panthenol.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Dehydration and inner skin dryness
- Compromised or weakened skin barrier
- Redness and irritation
- Dullness and lack of glow due to dryness
- Unbalanced skin (oily on the surface, tight underneath)

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who Should Use with Caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, anyone with known allergies to specific botanical extracts should review the ingredient list carefully.
Patch Test Protocol: Before using on your full face, we recommend a patch test. Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, such as your inner arm or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use.
For Teens: This is a gentle, hydrating product suitable for teenagers. It's an excellent choice for a first serum to establish a healthy hydration routine, especially alongside basic cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture & Finish: A lightweight, slightly viscous serum that spreads easily and absorbs into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. It provides an immediate feeling of hydration and leaves a subtle, healthy glow.
- Scent: Unscented.
- pH: Approximately 7.0 (Neutral), making it gentle and non-disruptive to the skin's natural acid mantle.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Sorbitan Isostearate, which may be a trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised if you are prone to this condition.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: It feels a little sticky after application.
Solution: You may be using too much product. Try reducing the amount to 1-2 drops. Applying it to slightly damp skin can also improve absorption and reduce any tacky feeling. -
Issue: I'm not seeing results after a week.
Solution: Hydration and barrier repair are gradual processes. While you should feel immediate soothing and moisture, visible improvements in texture and resilience can take 4-8 weeks of consistent, twice-daily use. Ensure you are also using sunscreen daily to protect your results.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: The lightweight gel texture is perfect for Mauritius's humid months. It provides deep hydration without feeling heavy or suffocating on the skin. Oily and combination skin types might find it sufficient as a light moisturiser under sunscreen in the morning.
- Drier Winter / Air-Conditioning: In drier conditions or if you spend a lot of time in AC, this ampoule is excellent for layering. Apply it before your regular moisturiser to prevent the dry air from sapping moisture from your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
1. What's the difference between this ampoule and the Swimming Pool Toner?

You can use them together for maximum effect or choose the one that fits your routine's needs.
2. Can I use this if I have acne?
Yes. This ampoule is very beneficial for acne-prone skin, which is often dehydrated and irritated from acne treatments. Its soothing and hydrating properties can help calm inflammation and strengthen your skin barrier, creating a healthier environment for your skin to heal.
