It can be used morning and night, especially when the skin feels tight or thirsty.

How:

  • Mist skin first or apply while skin is still damp

  • Dispense 2–3 drops into palms

  • Press gently into face, neck, and décolletage

  • Follow immediately with oil or moisturiser to seal in hydration

Tip: For makeup prep, apply this as your first serum to plump skin before layering.

Botanical Wisdom

In desert environments, survival is tied to water retention. Quandong teaches skin to do the same, to hold onto hydration at a cellular level. Paired with biotech hyaluronic acid, this serum becomes a ritual of inner replenishment.

Ritual Note

Apply like water, receive like breath. Let this be the step where your skin drinks deeply, not just from the bottle, but from the land and lineage that shaped this ritual.

  • For brightening: Follow with Kakadu Plum Brightening Serum

  • For barrier repair: Pair with B3 + B5 Balancing Serum

  • In summer: Use solo under SPF for a lightweight ritual

Educational Sidebar

What does Hyaluronic Acid actually do? Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar found in skin that declines with age. It acts like a sponge, attracting water and keeping skin plump, elastic, and hydrated. This serum uses low and medium molecular weights to hydrate both the surface and deeper layers.

Why mist first? HA works by drawing in moisture, but if your skin is dry, it may pull water from within instead of the environment. Misting beforehand ensures it draws from the surface, not your skin's reserves. Quandong’s high rutin content strengthens capillaries and improves skin tone, making it a perfect hydration partner with antioxidant benefits built in..
