Vanity Fare: Water-based beauty products that will help you look your best
Water-based skincare and makeup products are, just as the name implies, composed mainly of water rather than oils. They work to refresh your skin by moisturising, hydrating and protecting.

Hydrating burst

The Kosas BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream is a clean, tinted gel cream that’s a fresh take on tinted moisturiser.

It delivers a refreshing burst of active skincare, light buildable coverage and a smooth, hydrated, natural finish.

Containing copper peptides which support collagen to visibly plump and firm, other ingredients include zinc which soothes sensitive skin, saccharide isomerate which smooths and supports the skin barrier and sodium PCA which hydrates and helps retain moisture.

Use skincare beforehand and allow it to fully absorb before applying this product like a tinted moisturiser, building it to your desired coverage level.

Protecting the skin

Suitable for oily or combination skin, Hada Labo’s Hydrating Water Gel has been upgraded with two prebiotics, four types of hyaluronic acid and cactus extract to strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration, and soothe and protect the skin against environmental stressors.

The product is infused with cactus extract that is rich in anti-oxidants to soothe skin irritation and protect it from free-radical damage, while carnosine protects the skin against blue light radiation.

It also contains a combination of four types of hyaluronic acid (3D HA, medium size HA, super HA and nano HA) and ceramide which locks in, replenishes and restores moisture deep into the skin.

Apply it after lotion and essence, gently massage into face and pat to improve absorption into face.

Soothing and fresh
