I almost dropped my phone when I saw the price tag. This body serum costs more than most of my face serums.
But then I used it on my lizard-skin elbows and felt the difference in about 12 seconds. That’s not nothing.
It’s a water-gel serum for your body. $185 for 6.7 oz. The brand claims it “reprograms” your skin’s hydration. Aggressive claim.
Lactobacillus Ferment
Prebiotic goo. Feeds your skin bacteria so they stop freaking out.

The ingredient list is short. No fragrance, no alcohol, no filler oils. It’s basically a science experiment for dry skin.
- Lactobacillus Ferment: Calms the microbiome — less itch, less redness
- Prickly Pear Extract: 10x more hydrating than hyaluronic acid in dry climates
- Sodium PCA: Your skin’s natural moisturizer, just injected back in
- Glycerin: The boring hero that actually holds water

It feels like liquid silk. Absorbs in 10 seconds flat. Zero stickiness — you can get dressed immediately. Freaky.
Week 2: My shins stopped flaking. Week 3: I forgot to moisturize one day and my skin didn’t punish me. That’s a win.

My skin is measurably less reactive. The texture is smoother. But my stretch marks still exist — it’s not a miracle.

It’s the best body hydrator I’ve ever used. It’s also wildly overpriced for what it is — a very good water gel.
