Hydrating Serum

What This Formula Does

Hydrating Serum is a light, fast-absorbing formula that melts into skin and delivers a sustained wave of moisture that lasts throughout the day. Built on a foundation of dual-weight Hyaluronic Acid and Bisabolol, it plumps, soothes, and smooths in one step — leaving skin feeling visibly softer and more comfortable from the first application. Rubus Chamaemorus Cloudberry Fruit Extract brings an antioxidant boost, while Alteromonas Ferment Extract — a marine microbiome active — supports skin resilience over time. Layer it between your toner and moisturiser for a complete ritual. By ShopDrop Cosmetics.

Key Ingredients

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid & Sodium Hyaluronate — dual-weight forms of hyaluronic acid that work at both the surface and deeper skin layers to deliver sustained, multi-depth hydration.

Bisabolol — a naturally derived soothing agent from chamomile that calms irritation, reduces redness, and helps sensitive or stressed skin recover.

Rubus Chamaemorus (Cloudberry) Fruit Extract — a Nordic antioxidant extract rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids that supports a brighter, more resilient complexion.

Paeonia Lactiflora (Peony) Root Extract — a botanical extract with brightening and skin-softening properties that supports a more even skin tone.

Alteromonas Ferment Extract — a marine microbiome-inspired active that strengthens the skin's natural defences and supports long-term skin health.
