A Deep Drink of Water for Thirsty Skin
Healthy, radiant skin starts with hydration. Hydrating Face Serum is a pure, potent elixir designed to deliver an intense surge of moisture deep into the skin's layers. This lightweight, fast-absorbing formula acts like a drink of water for your face, instantly plumping fine lines, soothing dryness, and creating a dewy, supple canvas.
 
We crafted this serum with a less-is-more approach, focusing on clean, powerful ingredients that deliver visible results without irritation. It is the essential first step in any skincare routine, preparing your skin to receive further nourishment and creating a foundation of true, lasting hydration.
Pure, Concentrated Hydration
 
This formula combines humectants and vitamins to draw moisture into the skin and lock it there.
 
Why it works:
Plumps and Smooths: Hyaluronic Acid, a powerhouse humectant, can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, pulling moisture from the air into your skin for a visibly plumper, smoother appearance.
Strengthens and Soothes: DL-Panthenol (Vitamin B5) penetrates deeply to soothe inflammation, strengthen the skin's barrier, and improve its ability to retain moisture.
Softens and Protects: Organic Vegetable Glycerin provides a gentle wave of hydration, softening the skin and protecting it from dehydration throughout the day.
Naturally Preserved: We use Radish Root Ferment, a natural, skin-friendly preservative, to keep the formula fresh and effective without harsh chemicals.
 
A Holistic Skincare Ritual
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we believe skincare should be a moment of intentional connection with yourself. This serum is designed to work in harmony with our full facial line to create a complete ecosystem for your skin.
 
The Perfect Routine:
Hydrate: After cleansing, apply a few drops of Hydrating Face Serum to your damp face and neck to draw moisture deep into the cells.
Prepare: Mist your face generously with one of our skin type specific toners: Frankincense Toner for roceasea, seborrheic dermatitis or redness prone skin, Deep Cleansing Toner for acne prone or oily skin, Gentle Chamomile Toner for extra sensitive, and Everyday Rosewater Toner for normal or dry skin. This helps to tone the skin and prepare it for the final step.
Seal & Protect: Finish by warming 3-5 drops of Nourishing Face Oil in your palms and pressing it gently into your skin. This locks in the hydration from the previous steps and creates a protective, breathable barrier.
