Mixsoon Glacier Water Hyaluronic Acid Serum [100ml]

The 100 ml is the core retail size of Mixsoon's most-shelved hydrator, and the one most shoppers buy first. The whole formula is five ingredients — water, glacier water, butylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol and sodium hyaluronate — delivered at an almost water-thin viscosity. It exists for dehydrated skin rather than dry skin: the tightness after cleansing, the fine crepey look across the cheekbones at the end of a long air-conditioned day, the makeup that sits badly because there is no water underneath it. Because there is no oil, no fragrance and no alcohol, it fits under sunscreen and makeup in a hot climate where a richer serum would feel unbearable.

Key Benefits

• Five-ingredient hydration serum — short enough to read aloud, which makes it easy to sell to sensitive-skin and minimalist-routine customers.
• Sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid, binds water at the skin surface; Mixsoon describes the serum as delivering three hyaluronic acid layers, meaning multiple molecular weights of the same hyaluronate rather than three separate listed ingredients.
• Alaskan glacier water replaces part of the standard aqua base and is the brand's point of difference for a cooling, mineral-carrying hydration story.
• Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, oil-free and vegan, with a stated pH range of roughly 5–8; no photosensitising actives, so it slots into any routine.
• Absorbs in seconds without tack, so it layers under niacinamide, retinol, vitamin C, sunscreen and makeup without pilling — a genuine advantage for Gulf and Levant customers layering in heat.
• 100 ml is the everyday hero size: roughly three months of twice-daily face use, priced as a repeat purchase rather than a treat.

When to Use

Twice daily, applied to damp skin after toner or essence and before any cream or oil. It is the hydration step for normal, combination, oily and sensitive skin that will not tolerate a heavy moisturiser, and the rescue step for skin that has been dehydrated by sun, air conditioning, long-haul flights or a course of actives. It also works as a buffer on nights when a retinoid or exfoliating acid is being used, applied first and allowed to absorb. Keep in mind that a humectant serum needs something sealed over it in very dry air; on its own in low humidity it will not hold water indefinitely.

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, dispense three to five drops into the palm or directly onto fingertips. Spread across the face while the skin is still slightly damp and press in with the fingertips rather than rubbing. Let it absorb for around 20 seconds, then follow with moisturiser to seal the water in, and with broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning. For skin that feels particularly parched, apply two or three thin layers back to back. Cotton pads soaked with the serum can be laid on the cheeks for five minutes as a quick hydrating pack. Safe for use on the neck and, with care, around the orbital bone.

Key Ingredients

• Glacier Water — Alaskan glacial meltwater used in place of part of the purified water base; the brand's signature carrier and the source of the line's cooling, mineral-rich positioning.
• Sodium Hyaluronate — the sole hyaluronic acid active on the panel and the salt form of the molecule; a powerful humectant that draws and holds water in the upper layers of the stratum corneum and helps skin look plumper and smoother while hydrated.
• Butylene Glycol — secondary humectant and solvent that keeps the texture thin and fast-absorbing.
• 1,2-Hexanediol — humectant with antimicrobial activity, allowing this short formula to stay stable without a conventional preservative blend.
• Water (Aqua) — the balance of the formula.

Precautions

For external use only; avoid direct contact with the eyes and rinse with water if it gets in. Patch test for 24 hours before first use. There is no exfoliating acid, retinoid or vitamin C in this serum, so no sun-sensitivity warning applies, but sunscreen should still finish any morning routine. The practical caution is specific to humectants: in very dry indoor air or desert conditions, hyaluronic acid applied to bone-dry skin and left unsealed can pull moisture outward and leave skin feeling tighter, so always apply to damp skin and always follow with a moisturiser. The preservative system is deliberately minimal, so keep the bottle closed, avoid introducing fingers or unclean applicators, store below 25 °C out of direct sunlight, and use within the period-after-opening shown on the pack. Discontinue if redness, itching or stinging develops.
