Star Ingredients
French Glacier Thermal Water
Sourced from glacier-melt origins and naturally filtered through time, Glacier Thermal Water used in this formula brings exceptional purity and a unique mineral profile. Because of its low total dissolved solids and soft mineral content, it helps calm redness, soothe irritation, and support hydration in skin exposed to oiliness, environmental stress, or heat.
In the Aqueria Oil & Sebum Control Face Cleanser, it reinforces the skin’s comfort during cleansing, supports clearer-looking skin texture, and complements active ingredients like Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid without compromising barrier balance.
Ac.NETâ„¢
Ac.NETâ„¢ is a sophisticated botanical-inspired complex combining nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and oleanolic acid, developed specifically for oily and congested skin. It helps regulate excess sebum production (hyperseborrhea), supports normalized keratinization (thereby reducing pore-blockage) and calms inflammation making it a tailored actives blend for break-out-prone skin.
Within the Aqueria Oil & Sebum Control Cleanser, this actives complex works in synergy with cleansing bases and soothing French Thermal Waters to help deliver a visibly smoother, less congested skin surface without over-stripping.
Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), is a lipid-soluble exfoliant that penetrates into pores, loosening and removing built-up inert skin cells and sebum. This process helps reduce the appearance of clogged pores and supports smoother texture and clearer-looking skin. Many users of oily or acne-prone skin rely on salicylic acid for its ability to target one of the root physical causes of breakouts—blocked pores. When formulated correctly (as in this gel cleanser), it aids in cleansing without compromising the skin’s barrier or causing excessive dryness.
Niacinamide
Helps regulate sebum production, boost the skin’s barrier function, calm redness and visible irritation, and improve uneven tone and texture. Clinical studies have shown topical preparations in the 2–5% range help reduce sebaceous activity in Asian and Caucasian skin types.
In this cleanser, the 5% Niacinamide level is optimized to support visible refinement of pores, reduce the appearance of post-acne marks, and maintain skin comfort, even when cleansing more than once daily.
CICA Exosmes
CICA Exosomes are tiny, cell-derived vesicles powered by Centella Asiatica’s healing compounds. Their nano-sized structure allows them to deliver calming peptides and protective phytoactives deeper into the skin helping reduce redness, soothe sensitivity, and accelerate barrier recovery. They work especially well on acne-prone skin that’s easily inflamed or stressed.
In the Aqueria Acne Moisturizer, CICA Exosomes strengthen skin resilience, minimize irritation from active ingredients, and help maintain a smooth, calm, and balanced complexion.
Hymagicâ„¢-4D
Hymagicâ„¢-4D combines four molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid to hydrate at multiple levels from the surface to deeper layers of the skin. The larger molecules create a moisture-locking film to prevent TEWL, while the smaller ones penetrate deeper to plump, smooth, and support overall skin suppleness. This multi-dimensional hydration helps maintain balance even when using clarifying or acne-focused actives.
In the Aqueria Acne Moisturizer, Hymagicâ„¢-4D keeps the skin hydrated and soothed, reduces dryness caused by exfoliants, and supports a healthy-looking, non-greasy glow.
French Ectoin
French Ectoin is a natural extremolyte known for helping the skin stay resilient under heat, pollution, and UV exposure. It supports moisture balance and helps reduce visible signs of stress caused by sun and humidity. In this sunscreen, it helps keep oily, acne-prone skin calm and balanced throughout the day.
