Huxley Grab Water Essence

The Huxley Grab Water Essence is a lightweight, water-texture essence that delivers immediate hydration and a cooling feel. Designed for everyday use, it suits a wide range of skin types looking for a featherlight layer of moisture to wear alone or under other products.

At a glance

• Skin types: all (dry, oily, combination, sensitive)
• Concerns: dehydration, temporary tightness, post-activity cooling
• Size: 50ml dropper bottle
• Texture: very light, watery essence that absorbs quickly
• Fragrance: subtle natural peppermint note; formulated without added synthetic perfumes
• Packaging: glass dropper for controlled dispensing

What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, then apply a few drops of essence to slightly damp skin. Pat gently until absorbed. Follow with your moisturiser and, during the day, an appropriate SPF.
• PM: After cleansing, apply the essence and layer your usual night moisturiser or oil as needed.
• Use morning and night for consistent hydration. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Patch test if you have very reactive skin.

Why it works

• Hyaluronic acid — attracts and holds moisture at the skin surface for an immediate smoothing effect.
• Sahara prickly pear seed oil — lightweight source of nutrients that supports skin comfort without feeling heavy.
• Vitamin E — a familiar skin-supporting antioxidant commonly used to help maintain a healthy-feeling surface.
• Ceramides — help support the skin’s natural barrier function and reduce moisture loss.
• Berry complex & peppermint extract — provide a fresh sensory note and a cooling sensation on application.

What to expect

• Immediate: noticeable moisture and a cooling, lightweight finish.
• Within days: skin often feels more comfortable and less tight with regular use.
• Ongoing: helps maintain hydration when included consistently in a routine.

Good to know

• Always patch test a small area (inner forearm) before first use if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
• Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if irritation, persistent redness, or swelling occurs.
• Avoid applying directly to broken skin.
