Neat

Hydrate is Neat’s multi-molecular hyaluronic acid serum – and their most-sold and highest-rated individual skincare product for good reason. Delivering five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, it locks in lasting, intense hydration, visibly plumps, smooths fine lines and repairs moisture loss without any heavy or sticky feel. A few drops after toning transforms tired, dehydrated skin into its most replenished, radiant self. 100% natural, made in New Zealand.
