DETAILS
Product Description
This is the complete daily hydration routine for skin that feels dry, dull, or dehydrated, without ever feeling oily. It pairs the Deconstruct Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Face Wash (0.5% Amino Acids + 0.1% Hyaluronic Acid) with the Deconstruct 2% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Niacinamide Serum so cleansing and hydration work in the same pathway. The face wash gently removes dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin barrier, prepping a slightly damp canvas. The serum then follows with three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate every layer of skin, while niacinamide soothes and keeps oiliness in check. Together they deliver deep, lightweight, non-sticky hydration morning and night, suitable for all skin types including oily and sensitive.
Why is this beginner friendly?
Two steps, one goal: A cleanser and serum designed to work together on the same hydration pathway, with no guesswork when it comes to layering.
Oil-free hydration: Water-based, humectant-led formulas that provide deep hydration without leaving a greasy or sticky finish.
Gentle, barrier-safe actives: Formulated with amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and 1% niacinamide. The serum uses low-irritation, pregnancy-safe ingredients, making it suitable for first-time users and sensitive skin.
How Does it Work on the Skin?
-
Step 1 – Face Wash:
- 0.5% Amino Acids (Proline, Hydroxyproline) help nourish the skin and support the skin barrier.
- 0.1% Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Sodium PCA act as humectants to attract and retain moisture during cleansing.
- Leaves skin soft and hydrated instead of feeling tight after washing.
- Sulfate-free, pH-balanced (5.1–5.8) gel cleanser cleanses effectively without disrupting the skin barrier.
-
Step 2 – Serum:
- 2% Hyaluronic Acid in three molecular weights provides multi-level hydration.
- High Molecular Weight (35,000 Dalton): Hydrates the skin's surface and helps maintain moisture balance.
- Medium Molecular Weight (12,000 Dalton): Supports longer-lasting hydration within the skin's connective tissue.
- Low Molecular Weight (1,200 Dalton): Penetrates deeper layers to deliver hydration while supporting cell regeneration and reducing visible signs of ageing.
- 1% Niacinamide soothes the skin, improves texture, and helps regulate excess sebum, keeping skin hydrated without feeling oily.
How to use?
- Morning & Evening:
- Dampen your face and massage a small amount of the Hydrating Face Wash for 30–60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and pat your skin until it is slightly damp.
- Apply 2–3 drops of the Hydrating Serum onto damp skin and gently massage until fully absorbed.
- Follow with a moisturiser to lock in hydration. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

FAQs
Why should I buy the face wash and serum as a combo instead of separately?
They're built for the same hydration pathway—cleanse, then hydrate—so buying them together gives you a complete AM/PM routine at a combo discount, with no guesswork on which cleanser to pair with the serum.
What order do I use them in?
Use the Face Wash first on damp skin. Rinse and leave your skin slightly damp, then apply 2–3 drops of the Hydrating Serum. Follow with a moisturiser, and finish with sunscreen in the morning.
Will this combo make oily skin greasy?
No. Both formulas are water-based and oil-free. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates without adding oil, and the 1% Niacinamide in the serum helps regulate sebum.
Is this combo good for sensitive or beginner skin?
Yes. The cleanser is sulfate-free and pH-balanced, and all the key actives (Amino Acids, Hyaluronic Acid, and Niacinamide) are low-irritation, making this an easy first skincare routine.
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid with Niacinamide?
Yes. They're a proven pair—Hyaluronic Acid hydrates while Niacinamide improves skin texture and helps control excess oil.
How often can I use this combo?
Daily, morning and evening. The Face Wash can be used 2–3 times a day, while the Hydrating Serum can be used twice daily.
Do I still need a moisturiser?
Yes. Apply the Hydrating Serum on damp skin, then seal in the hydration with a moisturiser for the best and longest-lasting results.
Is the face wash non-comedogenic?
Yes. It cleanses and hydrates the skin without clogging pores.
How long until I see results?
Skin feels softer and more hydrated immediately after use. Visible improvements in fine lines and skin smoothness typically take around 8 weeks of consistent use.
Is this combo safe during pregnancy?
The Hydrating Serum is considered pregnancy-safe. As a general precaution, consult your doctor before starting any skincare product during pregnancy or lactation.
