This gel is made for adult skin: O Boticário states that its actives, composition and benefits address the specific needs of skin over 18 years old. It suits all skin types and is especially aimed at oily and combination skin that wants hydration without heaviness, as well as anyone starting to notice the first fine lines and who likes a matte, makeup-friendly finish. It is not intended for children or teenagers, and it is not a sunscreen - the brand recommends using it together with the sunscreen of your choice. It is also not the right choice for irritated or broken skin, or for anyone who reacts to fragrance ingredients such as Geraniol, Linalool, Benzyl Salicylate or Hydroxycitronellal.

The formula is built around holding water in the skin. Glycerin and Propanediol draw moisture into the upper layers, Sodium Polyglutamate forms a film that helps keep that water from evaporating, and Panthenol together with Aloe Vera add comfort and help support the skin's natural barrier. A light Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride base and the gel-forming Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer keep the texture oil-free and fast-absorbing, which is why the finish stays dry to the touch and layers easily under sunscreen and makeup. In a routine it works as the hydration step right after cleansing, morning and evening.

Made in Brazil by O Boticário and developed with Swiss technology, this Botik formula combines Polyglutamic Acid, which forms a barrier that helps prevent water loss, with Aloe Vera, which brings a cooling feel and helps support the skin's natural barrier. Skin is left feeling stronger, smoother and more velvety.
The acqua gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves a dry-touch, matte finish that does not interfere with makeup, so it fits easily into a morning and evening routine. Suitable for all skin types and especially loved by oily skin. Dermatologically tested and non-comedogenic.
Key Features:
- 48-hour refreshing hydration: intense, cooling moisture that lasts, with a fresh feel from the very first application.
- Polyglutamic Acid: works as a barrier that helps prevent water loss, supporting intense and prolonged hydration.
- Aloe Vera: adds a refreshing sensation and helps strengthen the skin's natural barrier.
- Softens early signs of aging: in an independent 4-week clinical test, 90% of volunteers noticed an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine expression lines.
- Oil-free acqua gel texture: absorbs fast, leaves skin dry to the touch with a matte effect and improved texture.

How To Use
- Start with clean, dry skin.
- Apply the acqua gel twice a day, morning and evening.
- Spread it over the face using upward movements for better absorption.
- Let it absorb for a few seconds — it dries down quickly to a matte finish.
- During the day, follow with the sunscreen of your choice.
Expert Tip: Because the finish is dry-touch and matte, this gel doubles as a lightweight makeup base — give it about 30 seconds to set before applying foundation.
