Not sticky feeling

“I've been using Home Apothecary's serums for a few months now, and wah, I really can see the difference! My skin is glowing and feels so much more hydrated. The Dry Skin Power Serum absorbs so nicely into my skin, no sticky feeling at all, just smooth and comfortable and smell good! I also apply the Hydra Shield Serum every morning before going to work at my fashion boutique. Since I'm in air-cond the whole day, this serum really helps to protect and lock in moisture. Really love the natural ingredients and how gentle it feels on my skin. Highly recommend to all ladies who want healthy, radiant skin!”

Before you order.

Where does HydraShield go in my routine?+

First, right after cleansing, on slightly damp skin. Then your heavier serums or oil on top. It fits into the routine you already have.

Can oily skin use HydraShield?+

Yes. Oily and dehydrated at the same time? Very Malaysian. HydraShield is light, so it suits oily and combination skin too.

What's the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?+

Dry skin is short on oil, so it can feel rough or flaky. Dehydrated skin is short on water, and any skin type can be dehydrated, even oily skin. HydraShield helps with the water side; an oil on top helps hold it in.

Does HydraShield contain alcohol, essential oils or fragrance?+

No. HydraShield has no added alcohol, no essential oils and no added fragrance.

More questions (1)
What's a stressed skin barrier?+

Your barrier is the layer that holds water in your skin. Aircon, over-cleansing and harsh products can leave it depleted, so skin feels tight, dry and reactive. HydraShield is the water step. Dry Skin Power Serum is the oil that holds it in.
