Highlights

Why we stand behind it
This serum-gel moisturizer is powered by plant-derived stem cell exosomes delivered through a precision micro-encapsulation system, combining advanced biotechnology with resilient botanicals for visible renewal, lasting hydration, and barrier support. What sets it apart is its ability to pair regenerative actives with barrier-replenishing hydration in a texture far lighter than a traditional cream moisturizer.
Bio-Optimized Collagen Hexapeptide P6 helps support firmer, smoother-looking skin, while three essential ceramides, Polyglutamic Acid, and Resurrection Plant help replenish moisture, calm sensitivity, and strengthen skin stressed by dehydration, redness, or environmental exposure. The silky, weightless texture absorbs quickly with no greasy residue, making it ideal for acne-prone, oily, combination, sensitive, and post-procedure skin, and suitable for both morning and night.
Key ingredients
Cellular renewal biotechnology (stem cell exosomes + B vitamins): Works beneath the surface to reactivate the skin's own ability to repair and renew itself, delivering results that build progressively over time.
Collagen hexapeptide P6: Supports collagen production and dermal remodeling to visibly firm, lift, and restore structural resilience.
Multi-level hydration system (polyglutamic acid + botanical glycerin): Delivers sustained hydration that improves the skin's own moisture retention capacity — not just surface-level replenishment.
Bio-adaptive renewal complex (resurrection plant + 3 essential ceramides + bulbinella leaf + aloe ferox + black elderberry + arnica): Reinforces barrier resilience, calms visible redness and irritation, and supports long-term skin recovery through African Botanics' signature bio-adaptive plant intelligence.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage
Apply a small amount to clean face, neck, and décolletage using upward sweeping motions.
Gently pat any remaining product into the skin until fully absorbed.
Follow with your preferred African Botanics serum, booster, or face cream as desired.
Use morning and evening. Suitable for wear under SPF or as part of a nighttime regeneration ritual.
Pro-tip
Pro Tip 1: Apply to slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing to amplify the polyglutamic acid's moisture-binding power — locking in hydration at its peak before it evaporates.
Pro Tip 2: For post-procedure or sensitized skin, keep the gel refrigerated for a cooling, calming application that instantly soothes while delivering active repair.
