exciting H2O-free products that deliver calm,
clear and clean skin. Solid stick cleansers, toners
and sunscreens mean less product wastage, oil-
based creams and serums provide impressive
anti-aging benefits minus the aqua, and powder
formulas that only need a small amount of water
to activate them are already flooding the shelves.
Here are a few to get you started…
Dermalogica UltraCalming Barrier Repair
Water is simply a hydrator; it can’t repair a
damaged skin barrier, no matter how much you
apply. This waterless balm/gel contains Oat Oil,
botanical extracts and silicones to both restore
and protect the epidermal barrier. It quickly
relieves itching, eases tightness and soothes
dryness, all without a drop of H2O.

CLEARING Serum
Medik8 C-Tetra
This best-selling serum feels more like a dry oil
once massaged into the skin and contains no

water, opting for a Jojoba Oil base instead. It
contains 7% Vitamin C to protect against envi-
ronmental damage and collagen destruction
while working to plump and brighten the skin.
By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash
Some products can’t go completely water-free,
but they can help you reduce the amount you
use during your daily skin care routine. This
fine powder only needs a few drops of water to
activate it into a resurfacing lather before remov-
ing dead cells, make-up and impurities from
the skin in seconds.
Tata Harper Beautifying Face Oil
Moisturisers are the hardest product to replace
with a waterless formula, but facial oils can
prove to be just as nourishing for the skin. This
luxurious yet lightweight oil has been designed
to work for all skin types (yes, even oily skins)
and is formulated with a wealth of plant-derived
oils to keep skin hydrated around the clock.
Juice Beauty BLEMISH CLEARING Serum
Instead of relying on water to form the basis
of their products, Juice Beauty’s chemists
always start with an organic botanical juice
concentrate, made up of aloe, jojoba, shea and
grape seed, before adding any additional
extracts. They believe that paying for a product
laden with H2O is simply pointless, so they
dedicate that important space in their formu-
las to something that hydrates, repairs and
protects the skin instead.
