About this product
Botik Polyglutamic Acid & Aloe Vera Acqua Gel Moisturiser
A moisturiser for skin that hates feeling moisturised: Botik's Acqua Gel with polyglutamic acid and aloe vera sinks in cool, leaves a matte finish and keeps skin hydrated for up to 48 hours in a clinical test, softening early fine lines along the way.
O Boticário, founded in Curitiba in 1977, is one of Brazil's biggest beauty groups, and Botik is its dermocosmetic face-care line: high-concentration actives, formulas developed with Swiss technology and tested with dermatologists. The Acqua Gel is Botik's moisturiser for skin that hates feeling moisturised: a cool, water-gel texture that sinks in and leaves a matte finish that make-up sits on. Polyglutamic acid holds water at the surface for long-lasting hydration, aloe vera leaf extract brings freshness, panthenol comforts, and the Swiss algae extract supports the barrier. It is non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested.
In a clinical test, 100% felt their skin more hydrated on first application; after 4 weeks, 90% saw an improvement in the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and 100% in skin texture. Hydration lasts up to 48 hours.
Why you'll love it

- Coenochloris signiensis extract – the Swiss-developed algae extract that runs through the whole Botik line, used for hydration and barrier support.
How to use
- On clean, dry skin, apply twice a day with upward movements.
- In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
More ways to use it:

Frequently asked questions
Is it oil-free?
It is a water-gel built for a matte finish: a small amount of a light plant-derived emollient and no heavy oils.
How is it different from the Rosehip moisturiser?
Same polyglutamic acid, different base: this water-gel is for oily skin; the Polyglutamic Acid & Rosehip Firming Moisturiser is a cream for dry skin.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes: at night, apply the Pure Retinol serum first, let it absorb, then the Acqua Gel on top.
