CONCEALER SKIN PREP KIT

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel + Water Balm

• Smooths the look of fine lines with peptide-powered eye care.

• Hydrates + cushions dry-looking under-eyes with ceramides, amino acids, squalane, glycerin, and other moisture-binding ingredients.

• Helps concealer sit better with less dry-looking texture and visible settling.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Your targeted eye-area skincare.

Hydrates.

Cushions.

Helps smooth the look of fine lines.

Helps the eye area look softer and more conditioned over time.

And when you wear makeup, it gives concealer a better-prepared surface.

Water Balm

Your moisturizing seal and smoothing step.

Water Balm goes right over Eye Gel to add another layer of hydration and cushion.

It helps lock everything in while creating a soft, smooth, makeup-ready finish.

Together, they are your concealer skin prep.

Eye Gel first. Water Balm on top. Concealer after.

WHAT IS THE CONCEALER SKIN PREP KIT?

The Concealer Skin Prep Kit is a two-step skincare routine made specifically for the skin underneath your concealer.

It exists for the person who keeps buying new concealers but keeps getting the same result.

Dry-looking under-eyes.

Concealer settling into lines.

Cakey texture by midday.

Powder making everything look worse.

Instead of adding another makeup product, this kit starts with the skin.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted hydration and peptide care.

Water Balm goes over it to cushion, moisturize, and create a smoother-looking finish.

Then you apply your concealer.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

WHY DOES THIS KIT EXIST?

Because concealer cannot hide dry-looking texture without sitting on top of it.

And more powder does not add hydration.

If every concealer you try ends up settling into the same lines or looking dry in the same places, the formula in your concealer may not be the only thing worth changing.

Look underneath it.

Your under-eye area needs skincare too.

This kit gives it hydration.

Cushion.

Moisture.

Peptide care.

A smoother-looking finish.

And a simple routine that works whether you wear makeup that day or not.

WHY EYE GEL + WATER BALM?

Think of them like PB&J.

They do different jobs.

They just make more sense together.

Eye Gel goes first.

It gives the delicate eye area targeted hydration and peptide care.

It helps the area feel cushioned and helps soften the look of fine lines.

Water Balm goes on top.

It adds another layer of hydration.

It helps seal everything in.

And its smoothing texture creates a soft-focus finish before makeup.

Then comes concealer.

Now your concealer is going over hydrated, cushioned, smoother-looking skin.

Not another layer of primer.

Skincare is the prep.

TWO SKINCARE STEPS. ONE BETTER CANVAS.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

What it does as skincare

Hydrates the delicate eye area.

Helps the skin feel cushioned and comfortable.

Helps smooth the look of fine lines.

Supports a softer, more resilient-looking eye area with consistent use.

Helps the under-eye area look brighter and more even.

Why makeup wearers care

Dry-looking skin can make concealer look dry too.

Eye Gel gives concealer a hydrated, smoother-looking surface to sit on.

That means makeup can apply more evenly and visible settling can look less obvious.

Water Balm

What it does as skincare

Delivers lasting hydration.

Helps skin feel softer and more supple.

Supports a comfortable moisture barrier with ceramides and amino acids.

Helps seal in hydration.

Creates a smooth, conditioned finish.

Why makeup wearers care

Water Balm goes over your eye care to add cushion and smooth the surface.

Its texture helps create that soft-focus, almost photo-filter-looking finish Sonia wants before concealer.

No extra primer layer.

No piling more makeup on top of dry-looking skin.

SKINCARE THAT DOES MORE THAN PREP

These formulas were not created just to make makeup look better for a few hours.

They are daily skincare.

4-Peptide Complex: Included

Supports the look of smoother, more resilient skin around the eye area with consistent use.

Amino Acid Complex: Included

Water Balm contains a full amino acid complex to support hydrated, comfortable-feeling skin.

Ceramides: Included

Help support the skin's moisture barrier and keep dry-looking skin feeling cushioned.

Niacinamide: Included

Supports a brighter, more even-looking eye area.

Squalane: Included

Adds lightweight moisture and helps the delicate eye area feel soft and supple.

Hydrolyzed Silk: Included

Helps Water Balm create its soft, silky, smoothing finish on the skin.

WHY THE FORMULAS WORK SO WELL TOGETHER

Eye Gel brings targeted eye care.

Water Balm brings the seal.

Eye Gel delivers:

Peptides
Niacinamide
Glucosyl Ceramide
Squalane
Glycerin
Skin-smoothing texture ingredients

Water Balm delivers:

Ceramide 3
A full amino acid complex
Glycerin
Sodium PCA
Betaine
Hydrolyzed Silk
Fermented Rice Extract
Skin-smoothing silicones

The result is a routine that addresses both sides of the problem.

Care for the skin.

Then create a smoother surface for makeup.

SONIA'S UNDER-EYE SKIN PREP TECHNIQUE

Want the full makeup-artist method?

Add Water Elixir before the two products in this kit.

Water Elixir is sold separately.

Step 1: Water Elixir

Press a thin layer around the eye area.

Use it underneath the eye and above the eye area as your first lightweight hydration step.

Do not drench the skin.

A thin layer is enough.

Step 2: Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Apply a small amount along the orbital bone.

Use your ring finger.

Tap gently.

Do not drag or rub.

Give it a moment to settle into the skin.

Step 3: Water Balm

Press a thin layer of Water Balm right over your eye prep.

This is Sonia's finishing step.

It adds cushion.

Helps seal in hydration.

And creates that soft, smooth, photo-filter-looking finish before concealer.

Step 4: Let it settle

Your skin should feel hydrated and smooth.

Not wet.

Not slippery.

Not heavily coated.

Step 5: Apply concealer

Use a thin layer.

Add more only where you actually need it.

Then use powder only where you need it.

Water Elixir hydrates.

Eye Gel targets + smooths.

Water Balm cushions + seals.

Then makeup.

SONIA'S SECRET WAS NEVER MORE CONCEALER

As a professional makeup artist, Sonia learned that dry-looking under-eyyes do not usually look better when you keep adding product.

More concealer can look heavier.

More powder can make dry-looking texture more obvious.

So instead of starting with makeup, she started with hydration.

A lightweight layer first.

Targeted eye care next.

Then a thin layer of Water Balm over everything to cushion and smooth the finish.

That became her prep technique for dry, texture-prone under-eyes.

Prep first. Concealer second.

HOW TO USE THE KIT WITHOUT WATER ELIXIR

You do not need Water Elixir to use the Concealer Skin Prep Kit.

The kit works as a simple two-step routine.

1. Apply Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Use a small amount.

Tap gently around the orbital area.

2. Apply Water Balm on top

Use a thin layer.

Press it into the skin.

3. Let the layers settle

The area should feel soft and cushioned rather than wet.

4. Apply concealer

Use a thin layer.

Add only where needed.

Eye Gel. Water Balm. Concealer.

Simple.

YOUR CONCEALER MAY NOT NEED MORE POWDER

You know what happens.

Your concealer starts settling.

So you powder it.

Then the area looks drier.

So you add more concealer.

Now it looks heavier.

By noon, the makeup you used to make your eyes look better is making every bit of texture more obvious.

Stop adding.

Start underneath.

Hydrate.

Cushion.

Smooth.

Then use less makeup where you can.

WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE

PLACEHOLDER TIMELINE

Final timing should be validated against customer review data before publication.

Instantly

Skin feels hydrated, cushioned, and smoother.

The eye area feels softer and better prepared before concealer.

Water Balm creates an immediate silky, soft-focus finish on the surface.

After 1 Week

Skin may feel more consistently hydrated and comfortable.

Dry-looking texture may appear less obvious.

Concealer may apply more evenly as the skin underneath stays better conditioned.

After 1 Month

The eye area may look smoother and more conditioned with consistent skincare.

The peptide eye care continues to support the look of smoother, more resilient skin.

And the daily hydration habit gives makeup a better starting point every time you wear it.

REAL SKIN MOVES

We are not going to tell you your concealer will never crease.

Your eyes move.

You smile.

You squint.

You blink.

Some settling is normal.

The goal is not to erase every line.

The goal is to give concealer hydrated, smoother-looking skin underneath it so the makeup looks less dry, less heavy, and less obvious.

That is a promise we can stand behind.

THIS KIT IS FOR YOU IF...

Your concealer settles into fine lines.

Your under-eyes look dry after makeup.

Powder makes the area look worse.

Concealer looks good when you first apply it and cakey later.

Your current eye cream feels too heavy under concealer.

You keep changing concealers and getting the same result.

You want skincare that also makes sense under makeup.

You want fewer unnecessary layers.

You want to use less powder.

You want your concealer to look more like makeup on skin and less like product sitting on top.

THE SKINCARE BENEFITS

Helps smooth the look of fine lines

The Eye Gel uses a four-peptide complex designed to support smoother, more resilient-looking skin with consistent use.

Deeply hydrates

Glycerin, squalane, Sodium PCA, betaine, sorbitol, and other hydration-supporting ingredients help keep dry-looking skin feeling soft and comfortable.

Helps support the moisture barrier

Ceramides and amino acids help support comfortable, hydrated skin.

Softens + cushions

The combination of eye-area hydrators and Water Balm creates the cushioned feel dry under-eyes are often missing.

Supports a more even-looking eye area

Niacinamide supports a brighter, more even-looking appearance around the eyes.

Creates a smooth, soft-focus finish

Water Balm's hydrolyzed silk and smoothing texture ingredients help create a silky surface before makeup.

WHY NOT JUST BUY ANOTHER EYE CREAM?

Because this kit is not built around the idea that your eye cream lives in a separate universe from your makeup.

You wear concealer.

Your skincare needs to work with that.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted care.

Water Balm gives that skincare the moisturizing seal and smoothing finish Sonia uses before makeup.

You get the skincare benefits even when you wear nothing on top.

And when you do wear concealer, your skin is already prepped.

WHY NOT JUST USE WATER BALM?

Because Eye Gel and Water Balm have different jobs.

Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted peptide care and lightweight hydration.

Water Balm goes over it to add cushion, moisture, and a smoothing finish.

One does not replace the other in this routine.

Target first. Seal second.

DO I NEED PRIMER?

No.

You do not need a separate primer with this routine.

Your skincare is your skin prep.

Eye Gel prepares the eye area through hydration and smoothing care.

Water Balm completes the prep by adding moisture, cushion, and a soft-focus finish.

Let everything settle.

Then apply your makeup.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I USE?

Less than you probably think.

Eye Gel

Use a small amount.

A thick layer is not better.

Tap it gently around the orbital area.

Water Balm

Use a thin layer over the eye prep.

Your skin should feel smooth and cushioned.

Not coated.

Too much skincare underneath concealer can create unnecessary movement.

SHOULD I USE POWDER?

You can.

But you may not need as much.

If powder makes your under-eyyes look dry or makes lines more obvious, try using it only where you actually need it.

Prep first.

Use a thin layer of concealer.

Then decide if powder is necessary.

Do not powder automatically just because someone told you that you have to.

BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS BOTH SIDES

Sonia Roselli has worked as a professional makeup artist since 1990.

She is also a licensed esthetician.

That matters.

She understands what skin needs.

And she understands what happens when you put concealer on it five minutes later.

The products were designed around both sides of the mirror.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

Will the kit stop concealer from creasing?

We do not promise zero creasing.

Faces move.

Some settling is normal.

The goal is to hydrate and smooth the look of the skin underneath so concealer can apply more evenly and look less dry.

Why does my concealer settle into fine lines?

Dry-looking skin, too much product underneath, heavy concealer, and too much powder can all make visible settling more obvious.

The eye area also moves constantly.

Better skin prep gives the concealer a better surface to sit on.

What if my concealer looks dry even when I use eye cream?

Your eye cream may not be giving you the right combination of hydration, texture, and makeup compatibility.

Try using a small amount of Eye Gel followed by a thin layer of Water Balm.

Let the layers settle before applying concealer.

Yes, in this routine Water Balm is pressed over the Eye Gel as the moisturizing and smoothing layer.

Use a small amount.

How long should I wait before concealer?

Allow the skincare to settle before applying makeup.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is documented to settle for approximately 60 to 90 seconds before concealer.

When layering Water Balm on top, wait until the final layer feels smooth and settled rather than wet or slippery.

How much concealer should I use?

Start thin.

Add more only where you need additional coverage.

Using more concealer does not automatically make the area look smoother.

Should I use powder after concealer?

Only if you need it.

If powder makes your under-eyyes look dry, use less or apply it only to areas that need setting.

Will this get rid of dark circles?

The kit is not designed to remove genetic or structural dark circles.

It helps care for the eye area and creates a better-prepared surface for the concealer you use to even the appearance of darkness.

Will the Eye Gel erase wrinkles?

No.

It is cosmetic skincare.

The peptide complex supports the look of smoother, more resilient skin with consistent use.

It does not erase wrinkles or stop facial movement.

Day + Night Moisture Skin Prep Replenishment Kit

Beautiful Skin Doesn't Clock Out at 5 PM.

Your skin needs moisture around the clock. But it doesn't always need the same moisturizer.

Meet your two-step Japanese skincare duo for softer, smoother, beautifully moisturized skin, day and night.

Water Balm + Intense Barrier Cream give your skin lightweight, makeup-friendly moisture during the day and richer, barrier-supporting nourishment at night.

• Smoother, Better-Looking Makeup: Water Balm hydrates and smooths so foundation looks fresh, not cakey.

• Rich Overnight Moisture: Intense Barrier Cream comforts dry, tight skin and helps reduce moisture loss.

• Plumper, Softer-Looking Skin: Ceramides and moisture-binding ingredients help soften the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration.

Beautiful makeup by day. Beautifully moisturized skin by night.

What It Is

Two moisturizers. Two different jobs. One beautifully simple routine.

The Day + Night Moisture Skin Prep Replenishment Kit pairs two Japanese moisturizers designed to meet your skin's changing needs throughout the day.

Water Balm is your lightweight daytime moisturizer and makeup prep, helping foundation glide over skin instead of catching on dry-looking areas.

Intense Barrier Cream is your richer moisturizing treatment, ideal for nighttime use when your skin needs extra comfort and nourishment.

Both are skincare products that can be used morning or evening. This kit simply makes it easier to choose the right texture for your skin's needs.

What It Does

Smooths & Preps for Makeup

Water Balm delivers lightweight hydration and a smooth, moisturized finish to help foundation look more even and natural.

Nourishes & Helps Retain Moisture

Intense Barrier Cream contains ceramides, squalane, and shea butter to support the moisture barrier and help reduce moisture loss.

Softens the Appearance of Fine Lines

Moisture-binding ingredients help plump the appearance of dehydrated skin, making fine lines look less noticeable.

Comforts Dry, Tight-Feeling Skin

Two complementary textures let you choose lighter moisture when you want a beautiful makeup finish and richer moisture when your skin needs more nourishment.

Why You Need It

Your Daytime Moisturizer and Night Cream Shouldn't Have to Do the Same Job.

Ever notice how a rich moisturizer can feel amazing but make your foundation look like a mess?

Or how your lightweight daytime moisturizer feels beautiful under makeup but isn't enough when your skin feels especially dry?

That's why this kit includes both.

Water Balm helps create the soft, hydrated surface you want underneath foundation.

Intense Barrier Cream delivers richer moisture for dry, uncomfortable-feeling skin, especially when you want extra overnight nourishment.

Stop compromising between beautiful makeup and comfortable skin. You can have both.

How to Use Your Day + Night Moisture Kit

1. Morning: Start With Clean Skin

Cleanse your face and gently pat dry. Apply your favorite hydrating essence or serum first, if using one.

2. Daytime: Smooth With Water Balm

Press a pea-sized amount of Water Balm onto your face using your fingertips or Skin Prep Brush.

Allow it to settle, then apply sunscreen and foundation.

The payoff: Fresh, hydrated-looking skin and a smoother canvas for makeup.

3. Evening: Nourish With Intense Barrier Cream

After cleansing and applying any hydrating serum, warm a pea-sized amount of Intense Barrier Cream between your fingertips.

Press onto your face, neck, and décolletage.

The payoff: Rich moisture and overnight comfort for dry, thirsty skin.

4. Adjust to What Your Skin Needs

These moisturizers are not restricted to specific times of day.

Use Intense Barrier Cream during the day when skin needs extra moisture. For very dry skin, Water Balm can also be layered over Intense Barrier Cream before daytime sunscreen and makeup.

Use Water Balm at night when you prefer lighter moisture.

Your skin changes. Your moisturizer can change with it.

Skin Prep Brush, cleansing products, hydrating serums, and sunscreen sold separately.

Who Is This Kit For?

This kit is for you if:

• Your foundation looks cakey when you use heavy moisturizer.

• Your skin feels dry or tight even though you moisturize.

• You want lightweight daytime hydration and richer nighttime comfort.

• Retinol, retinal, or tretinoin leaves your skin feeling dry or flaky.

• Fine lines appear more noticeable when your skin is dehydrated.

Together, they take the guesswork out of choosing the right moisturizer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why would I need two different moisturizers?

Water Balm and Intense Barrier Cream serve different purposes. Water Balm provides lightweight hydration and smoothing for makeup preparation, while Intense Barrier Cream provides richer moisture and barrier support. The combination lets you adjust your skincare to your skin's needs rather than relying on one texture for every situation.

2. What's the difference between Water Balm and Intense Barrier Cream?

Water Balm is a lightweight gel-cream designed to moisturize and create a smooth surface for foundation. Intense Barrier Cream is a richer moisturizer containing ceramides, shea butter, and squalane for dry-feeling skin. Both are Japanese skincare products that can be used morning or evening.

3. Will Water Balm help my foundation look less cakey?

Water Balm helps hydrate and smooth dry-looking skin, which can improve how foundation applies. Its moisturizing and smoothing ingredients create a more even-feeling surface, especially when dehydration is making foundation cling or emphasize fine lines. Results also depend on your foundation and application technique.

4. Is Intense Barrier Cream only for nighttime?

No. Although this kit positions Intense Barrier Cream as the richer nighttime option, it can also be used during the day when skin feels very dry. Apply a small amount and allow it to settle before sunscreen and makeup.

5. Can I use both moisturizers together?

Yes. They can be layered when your skin needs additional moisture. For very dry skin during the day, apply Intense Barrier Cream first and Water Balm over it if you want additional smoothing before makeup. Use thin layers and adjust according to your skin's needs.

6. Is this kit good for dry skin caused by retinol or tretinoin?

The moisturizers can help comfort dry-feeling skin associated with retinoid use. Intense Barrier Cream provides rich moisture and barrier-supporting ingredients, while Water Balm offers lighter hydration. Neither product treats retinoid irritation or replaces medical guidance if irritation is severe or persistent.

7. Will these moisturizers help with fine lines and wrinkles?

Both formulas contain moisturizing ingredients that can make dehydrated skin look plumper and soften the appearance of dehydration-related fine lines. Intense Barrier Cream also contains niacinamide, while both moisturizers contain ceramides. Neither product permanently removes wrinkles or reverses aging.

8. Is the kit suitable for oily or combination skin?

Water Balm's lightweight gel-cream texture may suit people who prefer lighter facial moisturizers. Intense Barrier Cream is richer and may be better reserved for drier areas or periods of increased dryness. Adjust the quantity and frequency according to your skin's needs.

9. Can I use this kit without wearing makeup?

Absolutely. Both products are everyday skincare moisturizers. Water Balm hydrates and smooths, while Intense Barrier Cream provides richer moisture. Makeup application is an additional benefit, not a requirement.

10. Do I need a serum underneath these moisturizers?

A serum is optional. If your skin needs additional water-binding hydration, Water Elixir Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence is a complementary step used before either moisturizer. It is sold separately.

11. Does this kit include everything needed for a complete skincare routine?

No. This is a replenishment kit containing two moisturizers. It does not include a cleanser, hydrating serum, exfoliator, eye treatment, sunscreen, or makeup. It can be added to an existing skincare routine or used alongside other Sonia Roselli Beauty products.

12. How do I choose which moisturizer to apply?

Choose Water Balm when you want lightweight hydration and a smooth finish, especially beneath foundation. Choose Intense Barrier Cream when your skin feels particularly dry, tight, or uncomfortable and needs richer moisture. Both can be used at different times of day based on your skin's condition.

Skincare That Works With Your Life. And Your Makeup.

Created by professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician Sonia Roselli, these Japanese moisturizers bring skincare and makeup preparation together in one easy routine.

Water Balm for smooth, radiant-looking skin. Intense Barrier Cream for rich, comforting moisture.

No complicated routine. No choosing between skincare and beautiful makeup.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit

Extra Nourishment. Richer Moisture. More Comfortable Skin.

Still dry after moisturizing? Your skin may need more than another layer of cream.

When your skin feels tight, rough, or uncomfortable, even after applying moisturizer, your usual routine may not be giving it enough nourishment and moisture.

And if you wear makeup? That dryness can become even more noticeable when foundation clings to flaky-looking patches, settles into texture, or looks cakey by lunchtime.

The Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit from Sonia Roselli Beauty pairs two Japanese-made skincare essentials to nourish dry skin, support its protective moisture barrier, and create a softer, more comfortable surface for makeup.

Inside the kit:

• Water Oil: Lightweight facial oil and peptide serum that nourishes dry skin and improves softness and suppleness.

• Intense Barrier Cream: Rich ceramide moisturizer that helps support the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Two full-size products. Two different jobs.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

You apply your moisturizer.

Everything feels fine.

And an hour later?

Your skin feels tight again.

Maybe your cheeks look flaky. Maybe your foundation clings around your nose and mouth. Maybe your skin just never feels properly moisturized, no matter how much cream you use.

So you keep applying more.

But here's the thing.

Dry skin doesn't always need more products. It needs the right combination of nourishment and moisture.

Water Oil adds lightweight, oil-based nourishment to help soften and condition the skin.

Intense Barrier Cream follows with richer moisture to help support your skin's protective barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Together, they give dry skin a little extra help without making your skincare routine complicated.

What Is the Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit?

The Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit is a two-product Japanese skincare set designed to add nourishment, richer moisture, and skin barrier support to an existing skincare routine.

It contains:

1. Water Oil

A lightweight, dual-phase facial oil and peptide serum that helps nourish, soften, and condition dry skin.

2. Intense Barrier Cream

A rich, fragrance-free moisturizer with ceramides, squalane, and other moisturizing ingredients that help support the skin's moisture barrier.

Together, these products help skin feel softer, more supple, and comfortable.

This is a replenishment kit, not a complete starter routine. It is designed for people who already have their basic skincare steps but need additional moisture and comfort.

Both products are made in Japan.

What It Does as Skincare

Dry skin can feel rough, tight, and uncomfortable when it isn't getting the moisture and conditioning it needs.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit helps:

• Nourish and soften dry, rough-feeling skin.

• Provide richer, longer-lasting moisture.

• Support the skin's protective moisture barrier.

• Reduce the feeling of tightness associated with dryness.

• Improve skin softness and suppleness.

• Help rough, flaky-looking areas appear smoother.

• Keep skin feeling more comfortable during cold or dry weather.

The goal isn't to pile on layers until your face feels coated.

It's to give your skin the moisture and nourishment it needs to feel comfortable.

Why Makeup Wearers Care

Sometimes your foundation isn't the problem. It's the skin underneath.

When skin is dry, foundation can emphasize everything you wish it wouldn't.

It may:

• Cling to flaky-looking patches.

• Look cakey around your nose and mouth.

• Make rough texture look more noticeable.

• Settle unevenly across dry areas.

• Look heavier as the day goes on.

Adding more foundation usually doesn't solve the dryness underneath.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit helps create a softer, better-moisturized surface before foundation and concealer.

Water Oil adds nourishment and slip.

Intense Barrier Cream provides richer moisture and a more comfortable skin surface.

That helps give makeup a better canvas to sit on.

The goal isn't more foundation. It's makeup that looks more like skin.

Two Products. Two Different Jobs.

Step 1: Water Oil

Nourish Dry Skin Without the Heavy, Greasy Feeling

Not every facial oil has to feel thick or greasy.

Water Oil is a lightweight, dual-phase facial oil and peptide serum formulated with squalane, nourishing botanical oils, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5.

It combines the conditioning benefits of facial oils with the lightweight feel of a watery serum.

What Water Oil Does for Your Skin

• Adds lightweight nourishment to dry skin.

• Helps skin feel softer and more supple.

• Improves the feel of rough, dry areas.

• Conditions skin without a heavy, oily finish.

• Helps create a smoother-looking skin surface.

Why Makeup Wearers Care

When skin feels dry or rough, foundation may grab onto certain areas instead of spreading evenly.

Water Oil adds softness and slip, helping your makeup apply over a more comfortable surface.

Key Ingredients

• Squalane: A lightweight emollient that softens and conditions skin.

• Sea Buckthorn Oil: Helps nourish dry-looking skin.

• Camellia Japonica Seed Oil: Conditions and softens skin.

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: A peptide used to support smoother, firmer-looking skin.

• Jojoba, Argan, Avocado, Rice Bran, and Sesame Oils: Help condition skin and improve suppleness.

How to Use Water Oil

1. Shake well before each use.

2. Apply after your usual hydrating essence or water-based serum.

3. Warm one pump between your palms.

4. Gently press into your face and neck while skin is slightly damp.

5. Follow with Intense Barrier Cream.

Water Oil is your nourishing step, not your final moisturizer.

Step 2: Intense Barrier Cream

Richer Moisture for Skin That Needs More Comfort

When lightweight moisturizers aren't enough, Intense Barrier Cream gives dry skin a richer final layer.

This Japanese-made, fragrance-free moisturizer combines ceramides, squalane, shea butter, and other moisturizing ingredients to help support the skin's protective moisture barrier.

It provides rich moisture without leaving skin feeling excessively greasy when used in the appropriate amount.

What Intense Barrier Cream Does for Your Skin

• Provides richer moisture for dry skin.

• Helps reduce moisture loss.

• Supports the protective skin barrier.

• Softens rough, dry-feeling areas.

• Helps relieve tightness associated with dryness.

• Leaves skin feeling cushioned and comfortable.

Why Makeup Wearers Care

Dry skin can make foundation look heavier and more textured than it really is.

Intense Barrier Cream helps create a softer, more moisturized surface underneath makeup.

Use a thin layer during the day when your skin needs richer moisture, or make it your final moisturizing step at night.

Key Ingredients

• Ceramide NG: Helps support the skin's protective moisture barrier.

• Squalane: Softens and conditions dry skin.

• Shea Butter: Adds rich, cushioning moisture.

• Sodium Hyaluronate: A humectant that helps attract and retain water.

• Urea: Helps soften rough, dry-feeling skin.

• Niacinamide: Supports a more even-looking skin tone.

• Phytosterols: Help condition the skin's surface.

How to Use Intense Barrier Cream

1. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips.

2. Gently press into your face and neck.

3. Concentrate on areas that feel particularly dry.

4. Use as your final moisturizing step.

Intense Barrier Cream is your richer moisture and barrier-support step.

Your Two-Step Dry Skin Comfort Routine

Nourish. Moisturize. Get Comfortable.

You don't need to replace your entire skincare routine.

These two products fit into the routine you already have.

Morning

1. Cleanse

Start with clean skin.

2. Hydrate

Apply your usual water-based hydrating essence or serum, such as Water Elixir, if you use one.

3. Nourish with Water Oil

Shake well and press one pump into slightly damp skin.

4. Moisturize with Intense Barrier Cream

Apply a thin layer where your skin needs richer moisture.

5. Protect

Finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen, then apply makeup if desired.

Allow your skincare to settle before applying foundation.

Evening

1. Cleanse

Remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup.

2. Hydrate

Apply your usual hydrating serum or essence.

3. Nourish

Press Water Oil into slightly damp skin.

4. Moisturize

Finish with Intense Barrier Cream to help keep skin comfortable overnight.

Adjust the amount of each product to how your skin feels.

Who Is the Dry Skin Comfort Kit For?

This replenishment kit may be a good fit if you find yourself saying:

• "My skin is still dry after I moisturize."

• "My foundation keeps clinging to dry patches."

• "My face feels tight by the afternoon."

• "My skin gets rough and flaky in winter."

• "My moisturizer isn't rich enough anymore."

• "My retinol makes my skin feel drier."

• "My skin needs something extra at night."

• "I already have a skincare routine. I just need more moisture."

The kit is suitable for people looking for additional nourishment and moisture, regardless of age.

Dry skin isn't an age. It's a skin condition.

Prep for the skin you have, not the age you are.

When Your Skin Needs Extra Comfort

Your skin's needs can change.

Sometimes a lightweight moisturizer is enough.

Other times, your skin wants more.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit can be especially helpful when:

Cold weather and indoor heating

Dry air can leave skin feeling tighter and less comfortable.

Dry climates and travel

Changes in humidity and environment can affect how moisturized your skin feels.

Retinol or tretinoin routines

Retinoids can sometimes cause dryness and flaking. Additional moisturizing skincare may help improve comfort.

Seasonal dryness

Your skin may need richer moisturizing products during certain times of year.

Foundation clinging to dry areas

Better-moisturized skin can help foundation apply more smoothly.

You don't need to change every product in your routine when your skin gets dry.

Sometimes adding the right two steps makes more sense.

Replenishment Kit vs. Starter Kit

Already Have a Routine? Add What You're Missing.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit is designed to complement the skincare products you already use.

It does not include a cleanser, exfoliator, or dedicated water-based hydrating essence.

Choose the Dry Skin Comfort Replenishment Kit if:

• You already have your basic skincare routine.

• Your skin needs additional nourishment.

• You need richer moisture than your current moisturizer provides.

• Dry skin is making your makeup look rough or patchy.

• You want to replenish Water Oil and Intense Barrier Cream together.

Choose a Skin Prep Starter Kit if:

• You're beginning a skincare and makeup prep routine.

• You need help understanding the order of skincare steps.

• You want a more complete system rather than two supplemental products.

You don't need to purchase another entire routine just because your skin needs additional moisture.

Why Sonia Roselli Created Skincare That Works Under Makeup

I've spent more than 35 years as a professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician.

One thing I've learned from working on thousands of faces is that dry skin can make even beautiful foundation look terrible.

And when your skin feels dry and tight, the answer isn't necessarily a different foundation.

You have to look at what's happening underneath.

That's why Sonia Roselli Beauty focuses on skincare that works for your skin and makes sense under makeup.

Water Oil adds nourishment.

Intense Barrier Cream adds richer moisture.

Together, they help create a softer, more comfortable skin surface.

Because taking care of your skin and preparing it for makeup shouldn't have to be two completely different routines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit?

The Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit is a two-product skincare set from Sonia Roselli Beauty for dry, tight, rough, or uncomfortable-feeling skin.

It includes Water Oil, a lightweight dual-phase facial oil and peptide serum, and Intense Barrier Cream, a rich ceramide moisturizer.

Together, they help nourish dry skin, provide richer moisture, support the skin's protective barrier, and create a softer surface for makeup.

What products are included in the Dry Skin Comfort Kit?

The kit includes two full-size products:

1. Water Oil

2. Intense Barrier Cream

Both products are made in Japan.

Is the Dry Skin Comfort Kit good for very dry skin?

Yes. The kit is designed for skin that needs additional nourishment and richer moisture.

Water Oil helps soften and condition dry skin, while Intense Barrier Cream provides richer moisture and barrier support.

People with very dry skin may benefit from using both products after a water-based hydrating serum or essence.

Will this kit help if my moisturizer isn't enough?

It may.

Water Oil adds a nourishing layer before moisturizer. Intense Barrier Cream then provides richer moisture to help reduce moisture loss.

Together, they offer a more moisturizing routine than using a lightweight moisturizer alone.

Is this kit for dry skin or dehydrated skin?

It is primarily designed for dry skin and people needing additional nourishment and moisture.

Dry skin often benefits from emollient and moisture-supporting ingredients.

Dehydrated skin can benefit from water-based hydration as well.

If your skin feels dehydrated, use your usual hydrating essence or serum before Water Oil and Intense Barrier Cream.

What order do I use Water Oil and Intense Barrier Cream?

Apply Water Oil first, followed by Intense Barrier Cream.

The recommended order is:

1. Cleanser

2. Hydrating essence or water-based serum, if used

3. Water Oil

4. Intense Barrier Cream

5. Sunscreen during the day

Water Oil conditions and nourishes the skin. Intense Barrier Cream provides the richer final moisturizing layer.

Can I use this kit under makeup?

Yes.

Both products are skincare, but they can also help prepare dry skin for foundation and concealer.

Water Oil provides lightweight nourishment and slip. Intense Barrier Cream moisturizes and softens the skin surface.

Use appropriate amounts, allow the products to settle, and follow with sunscreen before applying makeup.

For some skin types, Intense Barrier Cream may work better as an evening moisturizer.

Will Water Oil make my skin greasy?

Water Oil is a lightweight, dual-phase formula designed to nourish skin without the heavy finish associated with some traditional facial oils.

Start with one pump and adjust based on your skin's needs.

Using too much of any oil-based skincare can leave excess product on the surface, particularly underneath makeup.

Can I use this kit morning and night?

Yes.

Water Oil can be used morning and evening.

Intense Barrier Cream is particularly useful as a final nighttime moisturizer but can also be used during the day when skin needs richer moisture.

Use a thinner layer before makeup.

Can I use the Dry Skin Comfort Kit with retinol or tretinoin?

The moisturizing products can be incorporated into routines that include retinol or tretinoin, depending on skin tolerance.

Retinoids may cause dryness, tightness, or flaking. Moisturizing skincare can help make skin feel more comfortable.

Follow your retinoid's instructions and consult your prescribing clinician if you experience persistent irritation.

Is this kit suitable for sensitive skin?

The products are fragrance-free and may be appropriate for some people with sensitive-feeling skin.

However, sensitive skin can react to individual ingredients.

Review both ingredient lists and patch test before use, especially if you have known sensitivities or allergies.

Can I use this kit if I have rosacea?

The kit is cosmetic skincare intended to nourish and moisturize skin, not to treat rosacea.

People with rosacea-prone skin may benefit from moisturizing products, but individual tolerances vary.

Consult your dermatologist if you are unsure whether these ingredients are appropriate for your skin.

Do I need Water Elixir with this kit?

Water Elixir is not included in the Dry Skin Comfort Kit.

Water Elixir provides lightweight, water-based hydration.

Water Oil adds nourishment.

Intense Barrier Cream provides richer moisture and barrier support.

If you already use Water Elixir, you can continue using it before the two products in this kit.

Can I use Water Balm instead of Intense Barrier Cream?

Yes, depending on your skin's needs.

Water Balm is a lighter, cushiony moisturizer for everyday hydration and skin prep.

Intense Barrier Cream provides richer moisture for skin that feels especially dry, tight, or uncomfortable.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit includes Intense Barrier Cream because the focus is additional nourishment and richer moisture.

Is the Dry Skin Comfort Kit the same as the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit?

No.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit is a two-product replenishment set containing Water Oil and Intense Barrier Cream.

It is intended to add nourishment and richer moisture to an existing skincare routine.

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is a broader skin prep routine focused on hydration, nourishment, moisture, and comfort for sensitive or reactive-feeling skin.

Does this kit include exfoliation?

No.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit does not contain an exfoliator.

Its purpose is to nourish, moisturize, and support the skin barrier.

If your skin is visibly flaky, additional exfoliation is not always the answer, particularly when skin already feels dry or irritated.

Is this kit only for mature skin?

No.

Dry skin can affect adults of any age.

The Dry Skin Comfort Kit is intended for people who need additional nourishment, richer moisture, or a more comfortable skin surface under makeup.

The appropriate routine depends on your skin's current condition, not your age.

Are both products made in Japan?

Yes.

Water Oil and Intense Barrier Cream are both Japanese-made skincare products from Sonia Roselli Beauty.

Is the Dry Skin Comfort Kit a makeup primer?

No.

This is a skincare replenishment kit, not a traditional cosmetic primer.

The products nourish and moisturize the skin underneath makeup. Better-moisturized skin may provide a smoother surface for foundation and concealer.

Your Skin Deserves to Feel Comfortable.

You don't need another foundation to cover up dry-looking skin.

And you don't necessarily need a whole new skincare routine.

Start with what your skin is missing.

Add nourishment.

Follow with richer moisture.

Give your skin a softer, more comfortable surface.

Dry Skin Comfort Skin Prep Replenishment Kit

Water Oil + Intense Barrier Cream

Two full-size Japanese-made skincare essentials for dry skin and the makeup that goes on top of it.

Pairs Well With

• Water Elixir for a water-based hydration step before Water Oil
• Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel for targeted eye-area prep before Water Oil
• Japanese Cleansing Oil as the first step in an evening routine
• Water Balm for lighter daytime moisture when Intense Barrier Cream feels too rich
• Sunscreen as the final skincare step in the morning
• Foundation and concealer after skincare has settled, especially when dryness makes makeup cling or look patchy

Exfoliation Essentials

Smooth the Skin Your Makeup Sits On

Dry patches. Flaky-looking foundation. Rough texture. Start underneath the makeup.

If foundation keeps catching on dry patches, emphasizing flakes, or looking heavier than it should, changing foundation may not fix the problem.

Sometimes it's the skin underneath it.

The Exfoliation Essentials Kit gives you two ways to remove surface buildup, plus the hydration your face needs afterward.

Use Sexapeel Gommage for targeted facial exfoliation. Use Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray for fast face and body exfoliation where appropriate. Finish facial skin with Water Balm for lightweight moisture and smoother makeup prep.

Smooth first. Hydrate next. Then makeup.

When Foundation Keeps Catching, Look Underneath It

You can change your foundation.

Change your primer.

Add another serum.

Use more moisturizer.

But if dead skin and surface buildup are still sitting underneath your makeup, foundation has something to catch on.

That's when you see:

• Foundation clinging to dry patches

• Flakes showing through makeup

• Rough-looking texture

• Makeup looking cakey or heavy

• Foundation sitting on top of the skin instead of looking like skin

The answer isn't necessarily more makeup.

Sometimes your skin needs to be exfoliated first.

Then hydrated.

That's what this kit does.

What's Inside

Hydrate + Seal

$65 value

Exfoliating is only half the job.

• Moisture after exfoliation

• Dry or dehydrated-feeling skin

• Skin prep before foundation

• Makeup that looks better over properly moisturized skin

Use it whether you exfoliate that day or not.

Made in Japan.

Why Two Exfoliators?

Because your face and body don't always need the same thing.

And because more exfoliation isn't better exfoliation.

Use Sexapeel Gommage

When you want controlled, targeted facial exfoliation.

Think:

Nose. Chin. Forehead. Flaky-looking areas. Rough facial texture.

Use Sexapeel Spray

When you want faster exfoliation across appropriate face or larger body areas.

Think:

Legs. Arms. Elbows. Knees. Body makeup. Self-tanner prep.

Use Water Balm

After facial exfoliation and every day your skin needs hydration and moisture.

The two Sexapeels are options. They are not two mandatory back-to-back steps.

How to Use Exfoliation Essentials

For Your Face

1. EXFOLIATE

Start with clean, completely dry skin.

Apply a thin layer of Sexapeel Gommage.

Massage gently for approximately 45 seconds.

Rinse thoroughly.

Use approximately 1–2 times per week, adjusting for what your skin needs and tolerates.

2. HYDRATE

Apply approximately a pea-sized amount of Water Balm.

Warm it between your fingertips and press it into the skin.

If it's daytime, follow with SPF.

Let your skincare settle, then apply makeup.

For Your Body

1. SPRAY

Apply Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray to completely dry skin before getting into the shower.

2. MASSAGE

Gently massage the area as the product and loosened surface buildup roll away.

No aggressive scrubbing.

3. RINSE + MOISTURIZE

Rinse thoroughly.

Follow with your preferred body moisturizer.

Use according to your skin's tolerance. Current directions support body use approximately every other day where appropriate.

Before You Blame Your Foundation...

Ask yourself:

Is my skin smooth enough?

Is it hydrated enough?

Because foundation can't remove surface buildup.

And moisturizer can't exfoliate it away.

When flaky surface buildup is part of the problem, you need to address both sides:

EXFOLIATE

Remove what your skin doesn't need.

HYDRATE

Give the skin underneath it the moisture it does.

That's why Exfoliation Essentials pairs Sexapeel with Water Balm.

Especially Good Before...

Foundation

When foundation keeps catching on flaky-looking areas or emphasizing rough texture.

Body Makeup

Smooth appropriate body areas before applying body makeup so you're not applying color over unnecessary surface buildup.

Self-Tanner

Exfoliate appropriate body areas beforehand to create a smoother-feeling starting surface for your tan.

Special Events

When you want to deal with rough, flaky-looking skin before you start applying complexion makeup.

What This Kit Is NOT

It's not a daily three-step exfoliation routine.

You do not need to use both Sexapeel products on your face every time.

It's not about scrubbing harder.

Neither product requires aggressive scrubbing.

It's not a replacement for moisturizer.

That's exactly why Water Balm is included.

And it's not another makeup product trying to cover the problem.

These are skincare products designed to address the skin underneath your makeup.

Why Sonia Roselli Beauty?

Sonia Roselli has worked as a professional makeup artist since 1990 and is also a licensed esthetician.

After decades of working with complexion makeup, one thing becomes obvious:

Sometimes the foundation isn't the problem.

When the skin underneath is rough, flaky or under-moisturized, even beautiful foundation can look wrong.

That's why Sonia Roselli Beauty approaches makeup problems from the skin up.

Not by age.

Not by another bullshit beauty rule.

By looking at the skin that's actually in front of you and giving it what it needs.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I use Sexapeel Spray and Sexapeel Gommage together?

Not automatically.

They're two different exfoliation options.

Sexapeel Gommage is your targeted facial exfoliator.

Sexapeel Spray is the faster face-and-body option for appropriate skin and is particularly useful for larger body areas.

More exfoliation isn't better exfoliation.

Which one should I use on my face?

For regular targeted facial exfoliation, use Sexapeel Gommage.

It's also the better choice within this kit if your facial skin tends to be sensitive or reactive.

Can I use Sexapeel Spray on my face?

It can be used on appropriate facial skin according to its directions, but Sexapeel Spray is not for sensitive skin.

If your facial skin is sensitive or reactive, choose Gommage instead.

Which one should I use on my body?

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray.

The spray format makes it much easier to cover larger areas such as legs, arms, elbows and knees.

How often should I exfoliate my face?

Use Sexapeel Gommage approximately 1–2 times per week, depending on what your skin needs and tolerates.

You do not need to exfoliate before every makeup application.

Can I use Water Balm every day?

Yes.

Water Balm is daily facial skincare.

Use it morning and/or evening whether you've exfoliated that day or not.

Is Water Balm a primer?

It's skincare first.

Water Balm is a gel-cream moisturizer that also helps create a smooth, moisturized surface before foundation.

You don't automatically need another traditional primer on top of it.

Will this fix cakey foundation?

It depends on what's causing the cakiness.

Foundation can look cakey for several reasons, including the foundation itself, application technique, too much product, incompatible skincare, dehydration or surface buildup.

If rough, flaky surface buildup and insufficient moisture are part of the problem, this kit addresses those issues underneath the makeup.

Can I use this before self-tanner?

Yes.

Sexapeel Spray can be used on appropriate body areas before self-tanner to remove surface buildup and create a smoother-feeling starting surface.

Is this kit fragrance-free?

No.

Sexapeel Gommage is fragrance-free. Sexapeel Spray contains fragrance.

Because Spray is included, the kit as a whole is not fragrance-free.

Is this kit for sensitive skin?

Not as a complete kit.

Sexapeel Spray is specifically not for sensitive skin.

If your face is sensitive or reactive, Sexapeel Gommage is the better facial exfoliation option within the kit.

Do I need to wear makeup to use this?

No.

These are skincare products.

Makeup wearers care because surface texture and moisture affect how complexion makeup looks, but you can use the products whether you wear makeup or not.

Smooth the Skin. Then Do the Makeup.

If foundation keeps catching on the same dry patches, don't automatically buy another foundation.

Look underneath it.

Remove the surface buildup when your skin needs it.

Put hydration back.

Then see what your makeup can actually do.

$166 value | $158 kit price | You save $8

Foundation + Concealer Prep Kit

Stop Blaming Your Foundation. Start Prepping Your Skin.

Your foundation shouldn't look cakey, and your concealer shouldn't make every fine line look worse.

Meet your complete three-step Japanese skincare and makeup prep routine, created by professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician Sonia Roselli.

Water Elixir + Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel + Water Balm work together to hydrate, plump, and smooth your face and delicate eye area so makeup looks beautiful, not heavy.

• Smoother Foundation: Helps prevent dry-looking, cakey makeup and foundation clinging to dehydrated skin.

• Better-Looking Concealer: Hydrates the delicate eye area so fine lines look softer and concealer applies more smoothly.

• Plumper, Radiant Skin: Lightweight hydration and moisture give skin a fresh, healthy-looking glow without a heavy, greasy finish.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

What It Is

Your foundation and concealer finally have something beautiful to work with.

The Foundation + Concealer Prep Kit is a three-product Japanese skincare and makeup prep system for anyone tired of foundation looking cakey, concealer emphasizing fine lines, or skincare that doesn't layer well under makeup.

Created from 35+ years of professional makeup artistry and esthetics expertise, this simple routine hydrates, plumps, and smooths both the face and under-eye area.

It's everyday skincare and professional-inspired makeup preparation in one.

What It Does

Hydrates & Plumps

Replenishes water-binding hydration to help skin look smoother, fuller, and more radiant.

Smooths Foundation Application

Helps soften dry-looking texture and create a moisturized surface so foundation applies more evenly.

Preps Your Under-Eyes

Delivers targeted peptide skincare to help soften the appearance of fine lines and create a smoother canvas for concealer.

Supports Beautiful Bare Skin

Leaves your complexion looking fresh, supple, and healthy, even on days you skip makeup.

Why You Need It

You shouldn't need a new foundation every time your skin changes.

If your moisturizer leaves makeup pilling, your foundation looks dry by lunchtime, or your concealer emphasizes every little line, your skincare may not be giving your makeup the right foundation.

Not all skincare plays well with makeup.

That's why Sonia Roselli created skincare that does both.

Three products. One simple routine. Smoother foundation, better-looking concealer, and skin you'll love without makeup, too.

Meet Your Three Skin Prep Essentials

1. Water Elixir | Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence

The Hydration Your Skin Has Been Missing.

Does your skin still look dehydrated even after applying moisturizer?

Water Elixir is a lightweight Japanese hydrating essence that replenishes water-binding moisture to help skin look plumper, softer, and smoother.

With ingredients including Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, and amino acids, it helps soften the appearance of dehydration lines without leaving a heavy layer beneath foundation.

Why you'll love it: Skin looks fresher, feels more comfortable, and is beautifully hydrated for the skincare and makeup that follow.

2. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Because Your Concealer Shouldn't Make You Look Older.

Your under-eyes need more than a heavy face cream.

This targeted peptide eye gel helps hydrate, smooth, and soften the appearance of fine lines around the delicate eye area.

Featuring cosmetic peptides, niacinamide, and smoothing ingredients, its lightweight texture is designed to work beautifully beneath concealer.

Why you'll love it: Smoother-looking under-eyes and concealer that looks fresher and less dry.

3. Water Balm | Hydrating Moisturizer & Skin Prep

The Moisturizer Your Foundation Has Been Waiting For.

Water Balm is a lightweight Japanese moisturizer that delivers hydration while creating a soft, smooth, makeup-friendly finish.

With Ceramide 3, amino acids, hydrolyzed silk, and moisture-binding ingredients, it helps skin look supple and makes foundation easier to apply evenly.

Why you'll love it: A fresh, radiant complexion and foundation that looks more like beautiful skin.

How to Use Your Foundation + Concealer Prep Kit

Step 1. Hydrate With Water Elixir

On clean skin, press 2 pumps of Water Elixir over your face and neck using your fingertips or Skin Prep Brush.

The payoff: Plumper-looking skin and softer-looking dehydration lines.

Step 2. Prep Your Under-Eyes

Gently apply Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel around the delicate eye area, following the product directions.

The payoff: Hydrated, smoother-looking under-eyes ready for concealer.

Step 3. Smooth With Water Balm

Press a pea-sized amount of Water Balm over your face using your hands or Skin Prep Brush.

The payoff: Soft, moisturized skin with a smooth, radiant finish.

Step 4. Apply Your Makeup

Morning: Allow skincare to settle, apply sunscreen, then foundation and concealer.

Evening: Use all three products after cleansing as your regular hydrating skincare routine.

Pro Tip: Add the Sonia Roselli Skin Prep Brush for a smooth, even application.

Skin Prep Brush and sunscreen sold separately.

Who Is This Kit For?

This kit is for you if:

• Your foundation looks cakey, patchy, or dry even after moisturizing.

• Your concealer emphasizes fine lines or makes your under-eyes look older.

• You're tired of skincare that pills, slides, or doesn't layer well under makeup.

• You want smoother, more radiant-looking skin without a complicated routine.

• You want everyday skincare that also prepares your face for beautiful makeup.

All ages. Makeup wearers and non-makeup wearers. Especially useful when dehydration is affecting how foundation and concealer look.

Why Your Skin Needs All Three

Frequently Asked Questions

1. I already use moisturizer. Why do I need this kit?

Because not all skincare plays well with makeup.

Some moisturizers feel wonderful but leave foundation pilling, separating, sliding, or sitting on top of the skin.

Sonia Roselli Beauty was created by a professional makeup artist who understands what skincare needs to do before foundation and concealer.

You're not just moisturizing. You're preparing your skin for better-looking makeup.

2. Do I really need three products?

Your face and under-eyes don't have exactly the same needs.

Water Elixir hydrates, Peptide Eye Gel targets the delicate eye area, and Water Balm moisturizes and smooths your complexion.

Instead of guessing which products work together, you get a coordinated routine with a purpose.

3. Will this help my concealer stop creasing?

It can help when dehydration is making creasing and fine lines more noticeable.

Peptide Eye Gel hydrates and smooths the appearance of the under-eye area so concealer has a better-prepared surface.

Normal expression lines and some creasing can still occur, but proper under-eye preparation can improve the overall finish.

4. My foundation looks cakey even when I moisturize. Will this help?

That's exactly the frustration this kit was designed around.

Dehydration and rough-looking texture can make foundation cling and appear heavier than it really is.

Water Elixir and Water Balm work together to hydrate and smooth your skin before makeup.

5. Is this another primer kit?

No. It's real skincare designed with makeup application in mind.

You're not simply adding another layer to cover a problem. You're hydrating and moisturizing the skin underneath.

And unlike a traditional makeup-only primer, you can use these products morning and night.

6. Will this make my face or under-eyes greasy?

The goal is hydration and smoothness, not heaviness.

Water Elixir has a watery, lightweight feel. Peptide Eye Gel is designed for the delicate eye area, and Water Balm provides moisturizing comfort with a smooth finish.

Use small amounts and allow everything to settle before makeup.

7. Is this suitable for mature skin?

Yes, but beautiful makeup has no age requirement.

This kit is particularly useful when dehydration makes fine lines more visible or causes makeup to look dry and textured.

It's designed around your skin's needs, not your birthday.

8. What if I have sensitive skin?

These products are designed with gentle, makeup-friendly skincare in mind. However, individual reactions can occur.

Check each ingredient list for known sensitivities and patch-test new products, particularly around the eye area.

9. Can I use these products if I don't wear makeup?

Absolutely. This is skincare first.

Water Elixir helps hydrate, Peptide Eye Gel cares for the eye area, and Water Balm leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized.

Enjoy the benefits with foundation, tinted moisturizer, or completely bare skin.

10. What if my foundation still clings to flaky patches?

Hydration helps, but dead skin buildup may need exfoliation.

Consider adding Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel to gently lift surface buildup that can make foundation catch on dry areas.

Finish with your Foundation + Concealer Prep Kit for a smoother, moisturized canvas.

For an even application, pair your routine with the Skin Prep Brush.

Sexapeel Gommage and Skin Prep Brush sold separately.

Beautiful Skin Is the Best Makeup Prep

You don't need another drawer full of foundations, concealers, and primers.

You need skincare that understands makeup.

Created from more than 35 years of professional makeup artistry and esthetics experience, the Foundation + Concealer Prep Kit brings together three Japanese skincare essentials designed to hydrate, smooth, and prepare your skin.

Less cakey foundation. Softer-looking fine lines. Beautiful-looking concealer.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

Foundation Glow Kit

Smoother Foundation. Plumper-Looking Skin. A Youthful Glow.

Your foundation shouldn't make your skin look older, drier, or more textured than it actually is.

If your makeup clings to dry patches, settles into fine lines, or looks cakey even after moisturizing, the problem might not be your foundation. It might be the skin underneath.

Meet the Foundation Glow Kit by Sonia Roselli Beauty, a two-piece Japanese skincare replenishment kit featuring Water Oil + Water Balm.

This nourishing, lightweight duo helps soften dryness, improve the appearance of fine lines, and give skin a healthy-looking radiance while creating a smoother surface for foundation.

It's everyday skincare and makeup prep in one simple routine.

What It Does for Your Skin

• Plumper-Looking Skin: Moisture-binding ingredients help soften the appearance of dehydration lines and leave skin looking fuller and more supple.

• Smoother Skin Texture: Hydration and skin-conditioning oils help improve the appearance of rough, dry-looking areas.

• Youthful-Looking Radiance: A combination of botanical oils and moisturizing ingredients helps dull-looking skin appear fresh and luminous.

• Improved Moisture Retention: Ceramides, amino acids, and emollients help support your skin's moisture barrier.

• Softer, More Comfortable Skin: Lightweight nourishment helps reduce the dry, tight feeling that can make skin look less supple.

• Better-Looking Foundation: A smoother, well-moisturized skin surface helps makeup apply more evenly and look less cakey.

The result? Soft, supple, radiant-looking skin that gives foundation a better place to land.

What's Included in Your Foundation Glow Kit?

Water Oil | Dual-Phase Skin Prep Face Serum-Oil

45 mL | Made in Japan

Not your typical facial oil.

Water Oil combines a featherlight blend of skin-conditioning botanical oils with a peptide to nourish your skin without the heavy, greasy feel associated with traditional facial oils.

Featuring squalane, Japanese camellia oil, sea buckthorn oil, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, this dual-phase serum-oil helps improve the appearance of skin suppleness, firmness, and radiance.

Why Your Skin Loves It:

• Helps skin look firmer and more supple over time.

• Softens the appearance of dry, rough-looking texture.

• Nourishes without a heavy oily finish.

• Provides a healthy-looking, luminous glow.

• Helps foundation look smoother over conditioned skin.

The Anti-Aging Benefit: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 supports the appearance of firmer, smoother-looking skin, while botanical oils improve softness and radiance.

Water Balm | Gel-Cream Moisturizer & Makeup Prep

60 g | Made in Japan

The moisturizer that works just as hard on your makeup as it does on your skin.

Water Balm is a lightweight Japanese gel-cream moisturizer formulated with Ceramide 3, amino acids, glycerin, Sodium PCA, hydrolyzed silk, and moisture-binding ingredients.

It helps replenish hydration and smooth the appearance of skin texture while creating a soft, comfortable base for foundation.

Why Your Skin Loves It:

• Hydrates without feeling thick or greasy.

• Helps soften the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration.

• Supports the skin's moisture barrier.

• Smooths the look of dry, uneven texture.

• Helps foundation apply more evenly.

• Provides a soft, second-skin finish with or without makeup.

The Makeup Benefit: Water Balm's moisturizing and smoothing ingredients help create a more even-looking surface beneath foundation, without necessarily needing another primer.

Why Water Balm + Water Oil Work Better Together

Because hydration and nourishment are not the same thing.

Water Oil nourishes. Its blend of squalane, botanical oils, and peptide helps condition skin, improve suppleness, and create a luminous appearance.

Water Balm hydrates and smooths. Its ceramides, amino acids, humectants, and skin-smoothing ingredients help maintain moisture and prepare skin for makeup.

Together, they help address the two things that often make foundation look less flattering: dry, rough-looking skin and a lack of comfortable moisture.

Instead of covering up dryness with more makeup, you're caring for the skin underneath.

Is the Foundation Glow Kit Right for You?

This kit is for you if:

• Your foundation clings to dry patches or emphasizes fine lines.

• Your skin looks dull, tired, or less plump than you'd like.

• You want smoother, softer, more radiant-looking skin.

• Your moisturizer alone isn't giving you the comfortable, supple finish you want.

• You want anti-aging skincare benefits focused on the appearance of firmness, hydration, and fine lines.

• You prefer lightweight nourishment rather than a thick, greasy facial oil.

• You already have your skincare routine and want to replenish your Water Oil and Water Balm.

Suitable for adults seeking a moisturized, luminous complexion, particularly those with normal, dry, or dehydrated skin. Adjust the amount used according to your skin type and preferences.

How to Use for Smoother Makeup

Step 1: Cleanse

Start with clean skin. Our Japanese Cleansing Oil is an excellent first step, especially when removing makeup and sunscreen.

Step 2: Nourish With Water Oil

Shake Water Oil well to combine its two phases.

Warm approximately one pump between your palms and gently press into your face and neck.

Step 3: Hydrate & Smooth With Water Balm

Apply a large pea-sized amount of Water Balm over Water Oil.

Gently press into skin and allow it to settle before applying sunscreen.

Step 4: Finish With Sunscreen & Foundation

Apply your broad-spectrum sunscreen, let it settle, then apply your favorite foundation.

Morning Routine: Water Oil → Water Balm → Sunscreen → Foundation.

Both products can also be used in your evening skincare routine.

Replenish Your Skin Prep Essentials

The Foundation Glow Kit is a replenishment duo, not a complete skin prep system.

It's designed for customers who want to maintain the moisturizing, smoothing, and radiance benefits of Water Oil and Water Balm without purchasing additional skincare steps.

Your kit includes:

• 1 × Water Oil Dual-Phase Skin Prep Face Serum-Oil, 45 mL

• 1 × Water Balm Gel-Cream Moisturizer & Makeup Prep, 60 g

Combined Individual Retail Value: $134

Both products are made in Japan and formulated without added fragrance.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

Maintain softer, smoother, more radiant-looking skin so your foundation looks like skin, not makeup sitting on top of it.

Hydration Heroes Skin Prep Kit

A two-step facial hydration and makeup-prep system for skin that feels tight, dehydrated, rough, or difficult under makeup. Water Elixir delivers lightweight hydration, while Water Balm helps seal in moisture and prepare the skin for smoother-looking makeup application.

Includes: Water Elixir + Water Balm
Kit price: $109
Separate value: $130
You save: $21

Full Product Description

When skin feels oily on the surface but tight underneath, adding more heavy creams is not always the answer. The Hydration Heroes Skin Prep Kit gives your skin two clear hydration steps without building an overly complicated routine.

First, Water Elixir adds lightweight hydration to skin that feels depleted, tight, or uncomfortable. Then, Water Balm helps seal in that hydration while serving as your final moisturizer and makeup-prep step.

Together, they help simplify what goes underneath sunscreen, foundation, concealer, and other complexion products.

Instead of layering several serums, moisturizers, facial oils, and primers, this two-product system gives each step a clear job:

1. Hydrate with Water Elixir

2. Seal and prep with Water Balm

The result is skin that feels softer, more comfortable, and better prepared for makeup.

The Total Transformation

Before

Your skin may feel:

• Tight after cleansing

• Dry underneath surface oil

• Rough or uneven

• Sticky from too many skincare layers

• Dehydrated by midday

• Difficult to prepare for foundation

• Overloaded with serums, creams, oils, and primer

Your makeup may:

• Catch on dry areas

• Look uneven

• Sit on top of the skin

• Separate over heavily layered skincare

• Pill when too many products are applied

• Look dry even when your skin becomes oily later

After

With a consistent two-step routine, skin can feel:

• More hydrated

• Softer and more comfortable

• Less tight

• Smoother to the touch

• Cushioned without unnecessary layers

• Better prepared for sunscreen and makeup

Makeup can appear:

• Smoother

• More even

• Less heavy over dry-looking areas

• Easier to blend

• More natural on the skin

Results can vary depending on your skin, sunscreen, makeup formulas, product amounts, and application method.

3 Key Benefits

1. Replenishes Lightweight Hydration

Water Elixir gives thirsty, dehydrated skin a lightweight hydration step without beginning the routine with a heavy cream.

It is designed for skin that may feel:

• Tight

• Depleted

• Uncomfortable

• Dry underneath surface oil

• Rough under makeup

This step helps reduce the urge to stack several hydrating serums before moisturizer.

2. Seals In Moisture and Softens the Skin

Water Balm follows Water Elixir to help seal in hydration and support softer, smoother-feeling skin.

It works as:

• Your moisturizer

• Your final skincare layer

• Your makeup-prep step

Water Balm can reduce the need for a separate primer in many routines, helping simplify the number of products sitting underneath foundation.

3. Creates a Simpler Makeup-Prep Routine

Too many skincare and primer layers can create more opportunities for rolling, balling, lifting, or uneven makeup application.

Hydration Heroes gives you a clear order:

Water Elixir → Water Balm → sunscreen → makeup

Fewer overlapping layers mean fewer products competing underneath your foundation.

This kit does not guarantee zero pilling or compatibility with every sunscreen and makeup formula. It creates a simpler routine with fewer potential conflict points.

What Is Included

Water Elixir

A lightweight facial hydration step used before moisturizer.

Its job:

• Adds lightweight hydration

Water Balm

A moisturizer and final makeup-prep step used after Water Elixir.

Its job:

• Helps seal in hydration

• Softens the feel of dry or rough skin

• Acts as the final moisturizer before sunscreen

• Helps prepare the skin for makeup

• Can reduce the need for a separate primer

Use it when:

• Your skin needs moisture without a complicated routine

Who It Is For

Hydration Heroes Skin Prep Kit is ideal for:

• Dehydrated skin

• Oily skin that still feels tight

• Combination skin

• Dry-looking makeup texture

• Skin that feels tight after cleansing

• Foundation that catches on dry areas

• Skincare that feels too layered underneath makeup

• Anyone simplifying a long morning routine

• Anyone who wants hydration without several overlapping products

Who May Need a Different Routine

This kit may not be the best first step if your skin is:

• Actively irritated

• Raw or painful

• Burning or stinging

• Recovering from aggressive exfoliation

• Experiencing a severe reaction

• Extremely dry and in need of a richer barrier-support routine

Do not use skincare products on actively irritated or damaged skin without appropriate guidance.

How to Use

Morning Routine

1. Begin with clean skin.

2. Apply a small amount of Water Elixir.

3. Press it gently into the skin.

4. Apply a thin layer of Water Balm.

5. Allow Water Balm to settle.

6. Apply sunscreen according to its directions.

7. Allow sunscreen to form its intended layer.

8. Apply makeup using light pressing or blending motions.

Recommended order

Water Elixir → Water Balm → sunscreen → makeup

Do not skip sunscreen.

Evening Routine

1. Remove makeup and sunscreen.

2. Cleanse the skin.

3. Apply Water Elixir.

4. Follow with Water Balm.

Recommended order

Cleanse → Water Elixir → Water Balm

Makeup-Prep Tips

For the best makeup application:

• Use thin layers

• Avoid applying more product than your skin needs

• Press skincare into the skin instead of repeatedly rubbing

• Allow Water Balm to settle before sunscreen

• Allow sunscreen to settle before makeup

• Apply foundation with light pressing or blending motions

• Avoid repeatedly working over the same area

• Test one routine change at a time

If your makeup pills, do not replace every product at once.

Start by checking:

• How much skincare you applied

• Whether you used a separate primer

• Whether Water Balm had time to settle

• Whether sunscreen had time to form its layer

• Whether the pilling began before or after sunscreen

• Whether repeated rubbing disturbed the layers underneath

Can Water Balm Replace Primer?

For many makeup routines, Water Balm can serve as the final moisturizer and makeup-prep step, reducing the need for a separate primer.

A specialized primer may still be useful for someone seeking a specific makeup effect, such as:

• Strong mattifying

• Pore filling

• Added grip

• Targeted blurring

Water Balm is not positioned as another layer to add on top of moisturizer and primer. Its purpose is to help simplify overlapping steps where appropriate.

Why This Kit Works as a System

Each product has a separate job.

Water Elixir

Hydrates

Water Balm

Seals and prepares

Using them together creates a simple two-step system instead of asking one product to do everything.

This makes the routine easier to:

• Understand

• Repeat

• Adjust

• Travel with

• Use underneath makeup

• Troubleshoot when another formula changes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this kit for dry skin?

Yes. It is designed for skin that feels dry, tight, depleted, or dehydrated.

For extremely dry or compromised skin, a richer barrier-support product may also be appropriate.

Is this kit for oily skin?

It can be.

Some oily skin is also dehydrated. You may notice oil on the surface while the skin still feels tight or uncomfortable underneath.

Water Elixir provides lightweight hydration, while Water Balm helps seal it in.

Will it make my skin greasy?

Use thin layers and adjust the amount based on your skin.

Applying too much of any skincare product can make the surface feel heavy or slow to settle.

The kit is designed to hydrate and prepare the skin before sunscreen and makeup.

What order do I use the products?

Use:

Water Elixir first, then Water Balm.

Do I still need primer?

Not always.

Water Balm can serve as the final moisturizer and makeup-prep step for many routines. You may not need a separate primer unless you prefer one for a specific makeup finish.

No product can guarantee zero pilling.

Pilling may involve:

• Product amount

• Application method

• Sunscreen

• Foundation

• Primer

• Timing

• Surface buildup

• Formula interaction

This kit helps simplify the products underneath makeup, creating fewer potential conflict points.

Final Product Summary

The Hydration Heroes Skin Prep Kit is a two-step facial hydration and makeup-prep routine featuring Water Elixir and Water Balm.

Water Elixir provides lightweight hydration. Water Balm helps seal in moisture and acts as the final moisturizer and makeup-prep step.

Together, they help skin feel softer, smoother, and more comfortable while simplifying the products used underneath sunscreen and makeup.

Use in this order:

Water Elixir → Water Balm → sunscreen → makeup

Intense Barrier Cream is a concentrated ceramide moisturizer that helps support your skin's compromised protective barrier while delivering comfort and visible results. Made in Japan with high levels of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in the precise ratio your barrier needs.

What makes it different: Rich enough to provide intensive barrier support, yet lightweight enough to wear comfortably during the day. The gel-cream texture absorbs in 60 seconds without greasiness or heaviness - unlike typical barrier creams that feel medical-grade sticky.

Works everywhere you need it: Face, neck, décolleté, and delicate eye area. One cream replaces multiple products (moisturizer, neck cream, eye cream).

Who needs this: People with chronically uncomfortable skin, persistent redness, products that sting, menopausal skin changes, or damage from over-exfoliation and harsh treatments. Ideal for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or barrier-compromised skin.

What you'll notice: Skin feels immediately comfortable and soothed. Within 4-6 weeks, visible improvement in texture, redness, hydration retention, and overall skin comfort. Products stop stinging. Skin can tolerate active ingredients again.

Key ingredients: Concentrated ceramide complex (NP, AP, EOP), clinical-strength niacinamide, cholesterol, fatty acids, shea butter, squalane, bisabolol.

Safe for: All skin types when barrier is compromised. Fragrance-free, essential oil-free, pregnancy-safe, dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic.

The Cleanest One-Step Makeup Melt

Engineered in modern Japanese cosmetics laboratories, this premium oil cleanser effortlessly liquefies water-resistant pigments, heavy silicone foundations, and industrial physical UV filters without stripping your natural skin barrier.

Why it is naturally pink

That beautiful, vibrant hue is 100% natural and comes straight from a high concentration of Vitamin B12. We do not use synthetic colorants, coal-tar derivatives, or artificial dyes. Vitamin B12 is a clinical powerhouse for reactive and rosacea-prone skin, recognized for its ability to soothe intense surface irritation, reduce redness, and support barrier recovery during your wash.

Why serious makeup wearers love it:

• Zero Lash Loss: Glides over delicate eye areas to break down stubborn waterproof mascara polymers on contact. You can completely stop aggressively rubbing your eyelids with abrasive cotton pads or makeup wipes.

• Mineral Oil-Free Purity: Swaps out cheap petroleum by-products for lightweight, non-comedogenic botanical lipids like safflower and jojoba seed oils. It dissolves oxidized sebum out of your pores and washes away completely clear, meaning it will not clog pores or trigger breakouts.

• Clean Emulsification: Transforms into a light cleansing milk the moment it hits warm water. It rinses off entirely with water alone, acting as your makeup remover and facial cleanser combined into a single step. No greasy film left behind, and no cloudy or blurry vision.

Key Details:

• Format: Light Emulsifying Lipid Oil

• Best For: All skin types, specifically calibrated for sensitive, hyper-reactive, and rosacea-prone skin

• Usage: Daily evening use on completely dry skin

• Origin: Formulated & Manufactured in Japan

• Purity Standards: Mineral oil-free, fragrance-free, sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free

Lasting Hydration Skin Prep Replenishment Kit

Stop Hydrating Your Skin Just to Feel Dry Again.

Your skin shouldn't feel thirsty an hour after your skincare routine.

If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or your foundation keeps clinging to dry-looking areas, your skin may need more than another layer of moisturizer.

Meet your two-step Japanese skincare duo for hydration that goes beyond the first few minutes.

Water Elixir + Water Oil work together to deliver water-binding hydration and lightweight nourishment, helping skin stay soft, supple, plump-looking, and radiant.

• Lasting Hydration: Water-binding ingredients and nourishing lipids help hydrate skin and reduce moisture loss.

• Plumper, Smoother-Looking Skin: Hydration and conditioning ingredients help soften the appearance of dehydration lines and dry texture.

• Better-Looking Makeup: Softer, more supple skin creates a smoother-looking surface for foundation.

Less tightness. More radiance. Beautiful skin that stays comfortable.

What It Is

Two Products. Two Different Jobs. One Beautifully Hydrated Complexion.

The Lasting Hydration Skin Prep Replenishment Kit is a two-product Japanese skincare duo containing Water Elixir Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence and Water Oil Dual-Phase Skin Prep Face Serum-Oil.

Water Elixir delivers lightweight, water-binding hydration with Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, amino acids, and other humectants.

Water Oil follows with a featherlight combination of squalane, botanical oils, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 to nourish, soften, and condition skin.

Together, they help replenish hydration and provide emollient nourishment without requiring a heavy cream.

Both products can be used morning and evening, with or without makeup.

This is a replenishment kit intended to complement an existing skincare routine.

What It Does

Hydrates Skin That Still Feels Thirsty

Water Elixir contains moisture-binding ingredients that help skin feel hydrated and look fresher, smoother, and plumper.

Helps Skin Retain Moisture

Water Oil provides lightweight emollient lipids that help condition skin and reduce the feeling of dryness.

Softens the Appearance of Fine Lines

Moisturizing ingredients and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and suppleness, particularly when dehydration makes fine lines more noticeable.

Prepares Skin for Better-Looking Makeup

When skin is adequately hydrated and conditioned, foundation has a softer, smoother-looking surface to sit on instead of emphasizing dry texture.

Why You Need It

Moisturizing Isn't Always the Same as Hydrating.

You can use an expensive moisturizer and still have dehydrated-looking skin.

That's because skin needs more than one type of care.

Water-binding ingredients help attract and hold moisture.

Emollient ingredients help soften skin, replenish its conditioned feel, and reduce moisture loss.

The Lasting Hydration Kit combines both approaches.

Water Elixir replenishes water-binding hydration.

Water Oil adds lightweight nourishment to help maintain softness and comfort.

The result is skin that looks plumper, feels more supple, and provides a better-looking starting point for makeup.

Stop chasing hydration. Start giving your skin what it needs to hold onto that beautiful, moisturized feeling.

Water Elixir is a lightweight hydrating essence containing water-binding ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium PCA. Water Oil is a dual-phase serum-oil containing squalane, botanical oils, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 for lightweight emollient nourishment. The Lasting Hydration Kit combines both.

2. Why would I need both products?

Water Elixir helps skin attract and retain hydration. Water Oil supplies emollient ingredients that soften and condition skin. Together, they offer complementary hydration and nourishment in two lightweight steps.

3. Is Water Oil a moisturizer?

Water Oil is a dual-phase serum-oil with moisturizing and skin-conditioning benefits. It is not the same type of product as a traditional facial cream. Customers with very dry skin may still prefer a separate moisturizer such as Water Balm or Intense Barrier Cream.

4. Will this kit help my skin stay hydrated longer?

The kit combines humectant ingredients that help bind water with emollient ingredients that help maintain softness and moisture comfort. Individual results vary, and a specific measured duration of hydration has not been established for the complete kit.

5. Is this kit good for dehydrated skin that is also oily?

Dehydration can occur with oily skin. Water Elixir provides lightweight hydration, while Water Oil offers emollient nourishment. Customers with oily skin may prefer smaller amounts of Water Oil and should adjust according to individual tolerance.

6. Can I use these products under foundation?

Yes. Apply Water Elixir first, followed by a small amount of Water Oil. Allow both to settle before applying moisturizer if needed, sunscreen, and foundation. Makeup compatibility depends on the products used and application technique.

7. Will the kit help with wrinkles?

The moisturizing ingredients may help skin look plumper and soften the appearance of dehydration-related fine lines. Water Oil also contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5. The kit does not permanently remove wrinkles or reverse biological aging.

8. Can I use Water Elixir and Water Oil morning and night?

Yes. Both products are suitable for morning and evening skincare. Shake Water Oil before each use.

9. Is this a complete skincare routine?

No. The Lasting Hydration Kit is a replenishment set containing a hydrating essence and serum-oil. It does not include cleanser, exfoliator, moisturizer, eye treatment, or sunscreen.

10. What's the difference between Lasting Hydration and Foundation Glow?

Lasting Hydration contains Water Elixir and Water Oil, combining water-binding hydration with lightweight nourishment.

Foundation Glow contains Water Oil and Water Balm, combining nourishing serum-oil care with a lightweight gel-cream moisturizer designed for foundation preparation.

11. What's the difference between Lasting Hydration and Wake Up Hydrated?

Lasting Hydration contains Water Elixir and Water Oil. It emphasizes lightweight hydration and emollient nourishment.

Wake Up Hydrated contains Water Elixir and Intense Barrier Cream. It combines lightweight hydration with a richer moisturizing cream.

12. Do I need a moisturizer after Water Elixir and Water Oil?

Not everyone needs an additional cream, but customers with dry or very dry skin may prefer a separate moisturizer to provide additional moisturizing comfort. Water Balm offers a lighter option, while Intense Barrier Cream offers a richer texture.

Hydration That Goes Beyond the First Few Minutes.

Stop chasing moisture. Start building a better skincare routine.

Created by professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician Sonia Roselli, the Lasting Hydration Skin Prep Replenishment Kit pairs two complementary Japanese skincare formulas designed to improve how your skin looks and feels.

Water Elixir replenishes lightweight hydration.

Water Oil adds nourishing emollients for softness and radiance.

Lasting hydration. Plumper-looking skin. Better-looking makeup.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

QUICK ANSWER

What is the Sonia Roselli Nighttime Skincare Kit?

The Nighttime Skincare Kit is a complete five-step evening skincare routine designed to remove makeup and SPF, add hydration, care for the eye area, add lightweight nourishment, and finish with richer moisture before bed.

It includes:

1. Japanese Cleansing Oil
2. Water Elixir
3. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
4. Water Oil
5. Intense Barrier Cream

Use them in that order every evening.

No guessing what goes first.

No collecting five unrelated products and hoping they work together.

This is the evening sequence Sonia recommends.

THE PROBLEM

You went to bed moisturized. Why does your skin still feel tight in the morning?

You did the skincare.

You put on moisturizer.

Maybe you added another serum because the first one did not feel like enough.

Then you wake up and your skin still feels dry or looks dull.

That is the frustration this routine is built around.

The answer is not automatically more products.

It is knowing what your skin needs and what order to use it in.

THE METHOD

What order should you use nighttime skincare?

For this routine, the order is simple:

1. CLEANSE

Japanese Cleansing Oil

2. HYDRATE

Water Elixir

3. EYE CARE

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

4. NOURISH

Water Oil

5. FINISH

Intense Barrier Cream

That order matters.

You remove what is sitting on the skin first.

Then add your lighter hydration.

Then care for the eye area.

Then add oil-based nourishment.

Then finish with your richest step.

STEP 1

CLEANSE

Japanese Cleansing Oil

Start by taking the day off properly.

Japanese Cleansing Oil removes makeup, SPF, and daily buildup without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Massage it over dry skin.

Add water.

Rinse.

Then move on to your leave-on skincare.

WHY IT'S FIRST

Everything else in your nighttime routine goes on after cleansing.

There is no reason to pile beautiful skincare over the remains of today's foundation and sunscreen.

Good skincare starts with taking the day off.

STEP 2

HYDRATE

Water Elixir

Now add water back into the routine.

Water Elixir is the lightweight hydration step that goes on before your richer products.

It helps skin feel hydrated, fresh, and ready for what comes next.

WHY IT COMES BEFORE OIL

Water first.

Oil later.

You are not asking one moisturizer to do every job.

STEP 3

EYE CARE

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

The eye area gets its own step.

Apply a small amount around the orbital area using your ring finger and gently tap it in.

At night, this is dedicated peptide skincare for an area that often looks dry or textured first.

TOMORROW'S BONUS

If you wear concealer, you are starting tomorrow with an eye area that already had its skincare the night before.

STEP 4

NOURISH

Water Oil

Facial oil does not have to mean heavy, greasy skin.

Water Oil adds lightweight nourishment and helps skin feel softer and more supple.

A little goes a long way.

Apply it after Water Elixir and Eye Gel, before your final cream.

WHY USE WATER AND OIL?

Because they are not doing the same job.

Water Elixir gives you the hydration step.

Water Oil gives you an oil-based nourishment step.

Your skin may want both.

STEP 5

FINISH

Intense Barrier Cream

This is the richest step in the routine.

Intense Barrier Cream goes on last to give dry, stressed-feeling skin a more cushioned, comfortable finish before bed.

Then stop.

You are done.

Go to sleep.

THE MORNING PAYOFF

Your nighttime routine should make your morning easier.

You are not doing skincare at night just to check a box before bed.

You want to wake up and notice something.

Skin that looks softer.

Skin that feels more comfortable.

Less of that tight, dry feeling first thing in the morning.

A better starting point before you put anything else on your face.

That is what this routine is about.

Your existing customer language already gives us the exact problem to own: “Wake up and my skin looks dull,” “Skin feels tight in the morning,” “Want to wake up with better skin,” and “Nothing overnight is doing anything.”

SONIA'S MAKEUP CONNECTION

SKINCARE FIRST. MAKEUP SECOND.

The best makeup prep happens the night before.

This is not a makeup prep kit.

It is nighttime skincare.

But if you wear makeup tomorrow, what you do tonight matters.

If you wake up with skin already feeling dry and uncomfortable, you spend the morning trying to compensate.

Another layer of moisturizer.

More prep.

More product.

Then foundation goes over all of it.

I would rather start the night before.

Take the makeup off properly.

Give your skin hydration.

Add nourishment.

Finish with the richer comfort it needs.

Then tomorrow's makeup has a better place to start.

That nighttime-to-morning makeup connection is the approved secondary story for this kit, rather than the primary category positioning.

FOUNDER AUTHORITY

WHY THIS ROUTINE

I have spent 35 years looking at what skin does under makeup.

I am a professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician.

I have worked on thousands of real faces.

And one thing becomes very obvious when you do that long enough.

You cannot separate what your skin is doing from what your makeup is doing.

If skin feels dry, tight, or uncomfortable before makeup starts, foundation does not get to magically erase that.

So I care just as much about what happens the night before as I do about what happens five minutes before foundation.

This is the nighttime routine I recommend.

Five steps.

Each one has a reason for being there.

WHO IT'S FOR

Is the Nighttime Skincare Kit right for you?

This routine makes sense if:

• You wake up and your skin feels tight.
• Your skin looks dull first thing in the morning.
• Your current nighttime routine does not feel like it is doing much.
• You want a complete evening routine without figuring out every product separately.
• Your skin tends to feel dry or uncomfortable.
• You want richer skincare at night than you use during the day.
• You wear makeup and want to give tomorrow's skin a better starting point.

It may not be the right kit if your main goal is exfoliation or daytime makeup prep. Those needs are better served by other routines in the Sonia Roselli line.

WHY NO WATER BALM?

Why isn't Water Balm in the Nighttime Skincare Kit?

Because it is intentional.

Water Balm and Intense Barrier Cream can both serve as finishing steps at night.

For this dedicated nighttime routine, we chose Intense Barrier Cream as the richer final step.

You do not need to add Water Balm just to make the routine complete.

Already love using Water Balm at night?

Use it if your skin likes it.

Skincare should respond to the face in front of you, not force every person into the same routine.

FAQ

What is a good nighttime skincare routine order?

For the Sonia Roselli Nighttime Skincare Kit, use:

Japanese Cleansing Oil → Water Elixir → Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel → Water Oil → Intense Barrier Cream.

Start with cleansing and move from lighter products to richer products.

What does the Nighttime Skincare Kit include?

It includes five full-size products:

Japanese Cleansing Oil, Water Elixir, Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel, Water Oil, and Intense Barrier Cream.

Can I use the Nighttime Skincare Kit every night?

Yes. The five-product sequence is the established evening routine and can be used nightly.

Is this a nighttime skincare routine or a makeup prep routine?

It is a nighttime skincare routine.

The makeup benefit comes later.

Skin that looks softer and feels more comfortable in the morning gives you a better place to start if you decide to wear makeup that day.

Do I need Water Balm with this routine?

No.

Intense Barrier Cream is the richer finishing step in this kit, so Water Balm is not required to complete the nighttime routine.

If you already own Water Balm and like using it at night, you can adjust your routine based on what your skin needs.

Does the Nighttime Skincare Kit exfoliate?

No.

The Nighttime Skincare Kit does not contain Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel.

If you already use Sexapeel Gel, it can be used after cleansing and before Water Elixir on your exfoliation nights.

Is the Nighttime Skincare Kit fragrance-free?

No.

Japanese Cleansing Oil is not fragrance-free. It has a noticeable scent from eucalyptus, bergamot, and citrus.

Water Elixir, Water Oil, Intense Barrier Cream, and Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel are documented as fragrance-free.

Is this routine only for dry skin?

No.

The routine is especially relevant when skin feels dry, tight, uncomfortable, or under-supported, but Sonia Roselli does not build routines around rigid age categories or one-size-fits-all rules.

Pay attention to what your skin is doing.

Choose accordingly.

Can I use this if I don't wear makeup?

Yes.

This is skincare first.

You do not need to wear makeup to use the Nighttime Skincare Kit.

If you do wear makeup, better-supported skin the night before can give you a better starting point the following morning.

How much do I save?

The five products have a combined individual retail value of $324.

The Nighttime Skincare Kit is $308, so you save $16.

With Auto Replenish, the kit is $292 every 90 days, saving you $32 per shipment and $128 per year.

How does Auto Replenish work?

Your Nighttime Skincare Kit ships every 90 days for $292.

REVIEWS SECTION

What customers notice the next morning

I would not fill this section with generic five-star reviews.

Pull reviews that specifically mention:

• How skin feels the next morning
• Dry or tight-feeling skin
• Softer-feeling skin
• Water Elixir and Water Oil together
• Intense Barrier Cream at night
• Eye Gel used before bed
• Makeup looking better the next day
• Repeat purchase or running out

That makes the proof match the promise.

The best makeup skin prep starts the night before.

If you wake up with skin that looks dull, feels tight, or makes makeup harder than it should be, your nighttime routine may be missing the right layers. This five-step evening ritual cleanses, hydrates, nourishes, comforts, and seals in moisture so skin feels softer, smoother, and better prepared for morning.

Wake up to skin that feels like you actually did your skincare.

You did your routine last night.

So why does your skin still feel tight in the morning?

Why does it look dull?

Why does foundation still grab onto dry areas and make your skin look worse?

More products are not necessarily the answer.

The right nighttime layers, in the right order, are.

The Overnight Recovery Kit is the complete five-step evening routine I recommend when you want your nighttime skincare to actually show up in the way your skin looks and feels the next morning.

Cleanse. Hydrate. Smooth the look of the eye area. Add nourishing lipids. Seal it all in.

Then go to bed.

By morning, skin feels softer, more comfortable, and better prepared for whatever comes next. Including makeup.

Why nighttime matters for your makeup

Most people think skin prep starts five minutes before foundation.

It does not.

Some of the best makeup prep happens the night before.

When skin feels dry, tight, or rough in the morning, foundation has a harder surface to sit on. It can catch on dry-looking areas. Concealer can make the under-eye look more textured. Makeup can look heavier than you wanted.

A thoughtful evening routine gives your skin a better starting point.

You wake up with skin that feels more comfortable and looks smoother. Morning prep gets easier. Makeup has a better canvas.

The five-step evening routine

1. Japanese Cleansing Oil
Melts away makeup, SPF, and the day’s buildup without leaving skin feeling stripped.

This is where the routine starts. You cannot properly layer skincare over yesterday.

2. Water Elixir
A lightweight hydrating essence with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, nano ceramides, amino acids, and Japanese Onsen minerals.

It gives skin the water it has been asking for without leaving a heavy, sticky layer behind.

3. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
A peptide-rich eye gel that hydrates and helps the under-eye look smoother.

Use it at night as your dedicated eye step. In the morning, a smoother-looking, well-hydrated under-eye gives concealer a better surface to sit on.

4. Water Oil
A lightweight facial oil with squalane, sea buckthorn, rice bran oil, ceramides, fatty acids, and an oil-compatible peptide.

This is the nourishing step for skin that can still feel dry even after you moisturize.

It adds the lipid-rich layer that water alone cannot provide.

5. Intense Barrier Cream
The richest step in the routine.

It surrounds skin in lasting moisture and helps support a softer, more comfortable-looking moisture barrier overnight.

This is why Water Balm is not included in this kit. Intense Barrier Cream takes the final sealing position in this dedicated evening routine.

This kit is for you if...

You wake up and your skin still feels tight.

Your face looks dull in the morning even though you used skincare the night before.

Foundation tends to catch on dry-looking areas.

Your under-eye looks more textured once concealer goes on.

Your skin needs more than a lightweight moisturizer at night.

You are tired of buying individual products without knowing what order to use them in.

You want one complete nighttime routine instead of another shelf full of experiments.

What makes this different from buying another night cream?

A night cream is one step.

This is the routine around it.

You first remove makeup, SPF, and buildup.

Then you add hydration.

Then targeted eye care.

Then nourishing oils and lipids.

Then you finish with richer moisture.

Each product has a job. Each layer has a place.

That is the difference between owning skincare and having a routine that makes sense.

How to use the Overnight Recovery Kit

Use every evening in this order:

Step 1: Massage Japanese Cleansing Oil onto dry skin to dissolve makeup, SPF, and buildup. Add water to emulsify, then rinse.

Step 2: Apply Water Elixir to freshly cleansed skin.

Step 3: Gently tap Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel around the orbital area with your ring finger.

Step 4: Press Water Oil into the face and neck.

Step 5: Finish with Intense Barrier Cream to seal in your nighttime layers.

That’s it.

No twelve-step routine required.

The morning payoff

The goal is not to wake up looking like someone else.

It is to wake up and notice that your own skin feels better.

Softer.

More comfortable.

Less tight.

Smoother-looking.

And when you wear makeup, you begin with a better canvas before foundation ever touches your face.

Created from 35 years of working on real faces

I have been a professional makeup artist since 1990 and I am a licensed esthetician.

After working on thousands of faces, I learned something the beauty industry tends to separate into two different conversations.

Skincare and makeup affect each other.

The condition of the skin underneath changes how makeup looks on top.

That is why I do not start with foundation.

I start with the skin.

The Overnight Recovery Kit brings that same professional thinking into your nighttime routine. Five products. A specific order. A clear reason for every step.

What’s included

Japanese Cleansing Oil
Removes makeup, SPF, and daily buildup.

Water Elixir
Lightweight hydration and moisture support.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
Hydrates and smooths the look of the eye area.

Water Oil
Adds lightweight nourishment for softer, more supple-looking skin.

Intense Barrier Cream
Finishes the routine with rich, lasting moisture and barrier support.

A note about fragrance

Water Elixir, Water Oil, Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel, and Intense Barrier Cream are fragrance-free.

Japanese Cleansing Oil is not fragrance-free. Its noticeable scent comes from eucalyptus, bergamot, and citrus ingredients in the formula.

One routine. One decision.

Go to bed with the routine handled. Wake up with a better canvas.

Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit

Every face is different. Your prep kit should be ready for that.

The complete Sonia Roselli skincare collection for professional makeup artists.

Eight full-size skincare formulas give you options to cleanse, smooth rough-looking surface texture when appropriate, hydrate, add targeted nourishment, cushion, comfort, prep the eye area, and prepare the body when needed.

Not because every product belongs on every client.

Because every client is different.

Includes all 8 full-size Sonia Roselli skincare products.

Complimentary Skin Prep Brush included.

Free shipping on every order.

[ADD THE PRO KIT]

One routine cannot prep every face

One client feels tight through the cheeks but gets oily around the nose.

Another has loose surface flaking but otherwise comfortable skin.

Another needs very little under foundation.

Another needs more hydration before concealer.

Some skin can handle surface smoothing.

Some skin is telling you to leave it alone.

Professional skin prep cannot be one product or one routine for every client.

You need options.

The Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit puts the complete Sonia Roselli skincare collection in your working kit so you can assess the skin first and choose what it actually needs.

Use more where you need more.

Use less where you need less.

Skip what the skin does not need.

Stop when the surface is ready for makeup.

That is professional prep.

The Sonia Roselli Skin Prep Method

Professional skin prep does not start with a product.

It starts with the face in front of you.

Look. Feel. Ask.

Look at the skin before you touch it.

Notice visible dryness.

Loose flaking.

Oil.

Texture.

Redness.

Existing product load.

The areas where makeup usually struggles.

Then notice how the skin feels.

Rough or smooth.

Supple or tight.

Comfortable or reactive.

Dry in one area and oily in another.

Ask what you cannot see.

How does the skin normally behave?

When does it become oily?

Does foundation catch, pill, separate, disappear, or look heavy?

What has already been applied?

What finish does the client want?

How long does the makeup need to perform?

Where will they be wearing it?

Then choose your prep.

Read the four dials

Water

Does the skin need more lightweight hydration?

Oil and emollience

Does it need more comfort and suppleness?

Or would more richness create unnecessary slip?

Surface

Are there rough-looking or flaky areas that can safely be addressed?

Finish and performance

What does the finished makeup need to look like?

How long does it need to perform?

Then zone the face.

Because an oily nose and tight cheeks do not need identical prep.

A face is a map.

Not a bucket.

Apply. Observe. Adapt.

Apply a meaningful layer.

Then look again.

Did the skin become more comfortable?

Does one area still need more?

Is the product beginning to sit on top?

Is there too much slip?

Would another layer improve the surface or simply add more product underneath the makeup?

Professional prep is not about using the most skincare.

It is about knowing when you have used enough.

Stop when the surface is ready.

Then let makeup do less work.

What comes in the Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit

Japanese Cleansing Oil

Reset the surface when needed.

Melts makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup without leaving skin feeling stripped.

Why makeup artists care:

What is already sitting on the skin can affect every layer you apply afterward.

When a reset is needed, Japanese Cleansing Oil gives you a controlled place to start before rebuilding the prep.

Made in Japan.

Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel

Smooth rough-looking surface texture when appropriate.

Helps smooth the look and feel of rough surface texture.

It can be used where needed instead of automatically exfoliating the entire face.

Why makeup artists care:

Loose flaking and rough-looking texture can make foundation catch more visibly.

A smoother-looking surface can make complexion products easier to spread with less manipulation.

Fragrance-free.

Made in Korea.

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray

Fast surface prep for face and body.

A face-and-body exfoliation option for rough-looking areas when exfoliation is appropriate.

Why makeup artists care:

Your canvas does not always stop at the jawline.

Use it when appropriate to prepare rough-looking areas before body makeup, self-tanner, photography, wardrobe, or event work.

Not for sensitive skin.

Not fragrance-free.

Made in Korea.

Water Elixir

Lightweight hydration you can build as needed.

A lightweight conditioning layer for skin that feels tight, dry, or under-prepared.

Apply a layer.

Observe.

Add more only when the skin needs it.

Why makeup artists care:

Water Elixir lets you add lightweight hydration without immediately loading the skin with a rich layer that may be more than the makeup requires.

Made in Japan.

Water Oil

Add targeted nourishment where the skin needs it.

Use a small amount where the skin needs more richness, suppleness, or emollience.

Skip it where additional oil would create unnecessary slip.

Why makeup artists care:

Not every part of the face needs the same thing.

Water Oil gives you another option when lightweight hydration alone is not enough.

Press it into the areas that need it.

Leave the areas that do not.

Made in Japan.

Water Balm

Cushion the skin before complexion makeup.

A cushiony moisturizer that helps skin feel soft, hydrated, and comfortable.

Use enough to create a supple makeup-ready surface without overloading the skin.

Why makeup artists care:

Water Balm helps create a hydrated canvas so foundation can spread more easily and look less dry.

Made in Japan.

Intense Barrier Cream

Reach for richer comfort when lighter prep is not enough.

A richer moisturizing option for areas that feel especially dry, uncomfortable, or easily overwhelmed.

Use it where the skin needs more.

Not automatically over the entire face.

Why makeup artists care:

Some clients need more comfort than lightweight preparation can provide.

Intense Barrier Cream gives you a richer option without forcing the same prep onto every face.

Made in Japan.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Prep the eye area without overloading it.

Targeted hydration for the skin around the eyes.

Use a small amount.

Then assess before adding anything else.

Why makeup artists care:

A hydrated under-eye gives concealer a more comfortable surface to sit on.

Better prep can also help you resist the urge to compensate with more concealer and more powder.

Made in Japan.

Complimentary Skin Prep Brush

Apply skincare with intention.

The Skin Prep Brush gives you a controlled way to distribute skincare across the face.

Use it to apply and place product where you want it before working it into the skin as needed.

Included complimentary with the Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit.

Do not use every product on every client

That is not what makes this a professional kit.

Choice does.

A client with dry cheeks and an oily nose may need different preparation in each area.

A client with loose surface flaking does not automatically need full-face exfoliation.

A client who feels tight does not automatically need oil.

Skin that looks shiny is not automatically well hydrated.

And skin that is burning, stinging, raw-feeling, unusually reactive, or significantly peeling is not asking for another layer simply because makeup needs to go on top.

Look.

Feel.

Ask.

Then choose.

When the skin is telling you to simplify

Professional judgment includes knowing when to do less.

If the skin is visibly irritated or the client reports burning, stinging, rawness, or unusual reactivity, simplify your preparation.

Skip unnecessary exfoliation.

Reduce manipulation.

Use only familiar, well-tolerated products.

Stop any product that increases discomfort.

Makeup has a job.

So does restraint.

Built for the realities of professional makeup

Bridal mornings.

Editorial.

Television.

Red carpet.

Photography.

Body makeup.

Long production days.

Different climates.

Different skin tones.

Different textures.

Different levels of dryness and oil.

Different levels of sensitivity.

Different makeup finishes.

Different wear times.

Your foundation may stay the same.

The skin underneath it does not.

Your prep kit should be able to adapt.

Do not prep by age

Prep the skin in front of you.

A younger client can be very dry.

An older client can be oily.

One cheek can need more hydration than the other.

The nose can need a completely different amount of product than the rest of the face.

Age is context.

It is not a protocol.

Professional makeup artists read the skin first.

Created by a makeup artist who starts with skin

Sonia Roselli is a licensed esthetician, celebrity makeup artist, complexion expert, and product developer.

She has worked on real faces since 1990 across bridal, editorial, television, and red carpet.

She also has reactive, rosacea-prone skin herself.

Her approach to skin prep grew from a simple observation.

Beautifully prepared skin changes the makeup application.

When skin feels comfortable, supple, and properly prepared, foundation can spread more easily and require less unnecessary manipulation.

But a full facial before every makeup application is not realistic.

So the question became:

How do you bring the skin closer to that beautifully prepared state in the time a working makeup artist actually has?

Not with one universal prep product.

By learning to read the skin.

And having the right options in your kit when you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I use every product on every client?

No.

The point of the complete collection is to give you options.

Assess the skin first.

Use the minimum preparation needed to make the surface comfortable and ready for makeup.

Is this a primer kit?

No.

This is skincare designed with a makeup artist's eye.

Every formula has a skincare role.

The professional advantage is having skincare options you can choose according to the condition of the skin and the makeup job ahead.

How do I know which products to use?

Start with the skin.

Look.

Feel.

Ask.

Then consider four things:

Water.

Oil and emollience.

Surface condition.

Finish and performance.

Different zones of the face may need different products or different amounts.

Apply.

Observe.

Adapt.

Stop when the surface is ready.

Can I use this kit for bridal makeup?

Yes.

The Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit gives artists options for different clients, climates, skin conditions, finishes, and wear-time needs.

That flexibility is especially useful for professional jobs where makeup may need to perform for many hours.

Is this only for full-coverage makeup?

No.

Skin prep matters whether you are applying concealer, skin tint, bridal makeup, editorial makeup, body makeup, or a full complexion.

The goal is not heavier makeup.

The goal is to prepare the skin well enough that makeup has less work to do.

Can I use the entire kit on sensitive skin?

No.

Do not assume every product in the collection is appropriate for every sensitive or reactive-feeling client.

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray is not for sensitive skin.

Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel is fragrance-free.

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray and Japanese Cleansing Oil are not fragrance-free.

Always follow the individual product directions and assess the client before use.

Should I exfoliate flaky skin before makeup?

Not automatically.

A flake is a symptom.

Not an instruction.

Loose surface flaking on calm, tolerant skin may sometimes be addressed with gentle exfoliation.

Skin that is burning, stinging, raw, significantly irritated, sunburned, or actively peeling is not a routine exfoliation situation.

Can Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray be used on the body?

Yes.

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray can be used on the face and body.

It can be useful when preparing rough-looking areas before body makeup, self-tanner, photography, wardrobe, or event work.

It is not for sensitive skin.

Why are Water Elixir, Water Oil, Water Balm, and Intense Barrier Cream all included?

Because they give you different preparation options.

Water Elixir gives you lightweight hydration.

Water Oil gives you targeted emollience.

Water Balm gives you cushiony moisture before makeup.

Intense Barrier Cream gives you a richer option when the skin needs more comfort.

Professional prep means choosing according to the client.

Not forcing one moisturizer to do every job.

What is Zone Prep?

Zone Prep means preparing different parts of the same face according to what they need.

A client can have an oily nose, dehydrated cheeks, and a dry forehead at the same time.

Those areas do not need identical amounts or identical products.

What if skincare pills under foundation?

Start by simplifying.

Too much total product, too many layers, friction, insufficient set time, or interactions between sunscreen, skincare, and makeup can all contribute to pilling.

Reduce unnecessary layers.

Use smaller amounts.

Press rather than repeatedly rubbing.

Allow appropriate set time.

Change one variable at a time.

Your foundation kit has options.

Your skin prep kit should too.

Eight full-size skincare formulas.

One professional system.

A complimentary Skin Prep Brush.

And the freedom to choose what the face in front of you actually needs.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

Sensitive Skin Prep Kit

Barrier-supporting skincare for sensitive, reactive-feeling skin.

When your skin seems to react to everything, more is not the answer.

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is Sonia Roselli Beauty’s four-step skin prep routine for makeup wearers whose skin feels sensitive, reactive, dry, tight, or easily uncomfortable.

It layers hydration, nourishment, cushion, and richer moisture to help skin feel comfortable before makeup.

No exfoliation required.

$195

Free shipping on every order.

CTA: Start With Sensitive Skin Prep

If your skin reacts to everything, start here.

You try something new.

Your skin feels tight.

Something stings.

Your face suddenly feels uncomfortable.

So you start taking things out of your routine.

And exfoliation?

That can feel like the last thing you want to try again.

When skin already feels reactive, I do not want you throwing more at it.

Start with hydration.

Add nourishment.

Support the skin’s moisture barrier.

Give your skin a routine that feels comfortable.

Then add more only when your skin is ready.

Comfort first. Add later.

What is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit?

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is a four-product barrier-support skincare routine for makeup wearers with sensitive or reactive-feeling skin.

It includes:

Water Elixir
Lightweight hydration for skin that feels dry, tight, or thirsty.

Water Oil
Nourishing facial oil that helps skin feel softer and more supple.

Water Balm
Cushiony daily moisture that helps skin feel soft, hydrated, and comfortable.

Intense Barrier Cream
Richer moisture for skin that feels dry, stressed, or easily uncomfortable.

All four skincare products are made in Japan.

Together, they give sensitive-feeling skin a simple way to hydrate, nourish, moisturize, and support the skin barrier without making exfoliation the first step.

Sensitive skin needs a different kind of skin prep.

Your foundation only knows the skin you put it on.

If that skin feels tight, dry, rough, or uncomfortable, makeup may not sit the way you want it to.

Foundation can catch around dry-looking areas.

It can look patchy.

It can sit on top instead of looking like skin.

And adding more makeup usually does not solve what is happening underneath it.

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit starts with the skin.

Hydrate it.

Nourish it.

Give it comfortable layers of moisture.

Then apply your makeup.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

What it does as skincare

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit helps create a simple routine for skin that needs moisture and comfort.

Use it to:

• Hydrate dry or tight-feeling skin

• Add nourishing moisture

• Help skin feel soft and supple

• Support the skin’s moisture barrier

• Add richer moisture where skin needs more comfort

• Simplify your routine when everything else feels like too much

No aggressive routine.

No need to keep adding products because you think more must be better.

Start with what your skin is asking for.

Why makeup wearers care

Sensitive skin prep is not about covering everything with more foundation.

It is about improving the canvas underneath it.

When skin feels dry or uncomfortable, makeup can emphasize the areas you were trying to hide.

It may cling.

Look heavy.

Or make dry-looking texture more obvious.

Hydrated, comfortable-feeling skin gives your foundation a better surface to sit on.

The goal is not perfect skin.

The goal is skin that feels better before makeup ever touches it.

And makeup that looks more like skin when it does.

Why there is no exfoliator in the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit

Because not everyone should start with exfoliation.

If your skin feels reactive or easily uncomfortable, adding another exfoliating step may not be what it needs right now.

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit takes a barrier-first approach.

Start with hydration.

Add nourishment.

Support comfortable-feeling skin.

Pay attention to how your skin responds.

Then decide what comes next.

You do not need to force your skin through someone else’s routine.

Your four-step sensitive skin prep routine

Step 1: Water Elixir

Start with lightweight hydration.

Water Elixir gives dry or tight-feeling skin its first layer of hydration.

Use it before your richer skincare to create a hydrated foundation for the rest of your routine.

Why makeup wearers care

When skin feels thirsty, foundation can make that dryness more obvious.

Hydrating the skin first gives your makeup a better place to start.

Step 2: Water Oil

Add nourishment.

Water Oil adds a nourishing layer that helps skin feel softer and more supple.

Use it when your skin is asking for more than water alone.

Why makeup wearers care

Dry-feeling skin can grab foundation in certain areas.

Adding nourishment before makeup can help the skin underneath feel softer and more comfortable.

Step 3: Water Balm

Add cushiony moisture.

Water Balm gives skin another layer of hydration and moisture without turning skin prep into a complicated routine.

Skin feels soft, cushioned, and comfortable.

Why makeup wearers care

Foundation often looks different on properly hydrated skin.

Instead of trying to fix dry-looking makeup with another layer of foundation, start underneath it.

Step 4: Intense Barrier Cream

Seal with richer moisture.

Intense Barrier Cream gives dry, stressed-feeling skin a richer final layer of comfort.

Use it when your skin needs more moisture than a lightweight routine can provide.

Why makeup wearers care

If foundation keeps catching around dry-looking areas, the answer may not be another foundation.

Your skin may simply need more support underneath it.

Who is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit for?

This kit may be your starting point if you find yourself saying:

“My skin reacts to everything.”

“Everything feels like too much.”

“My skin feels tight after I wash it.”

“I am scared to exfoliate again.”

“I never know what my skin is going to react to.”

“My makeup looks worse when my skin feels irritated.”

“I just want a simple place to start.”

You do not need a shelf full of products.

You need to understand what your skin is asking for.

Sensitive Skin Prep Kit vs. Makeup Prep Kit

Both are skincare for makeup wearers.

They solve different problems.

Choose the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit if:

Your biggest concern is how your skin feels.

Your skin feels sensitive or reactive.

It feels dry or tight.

It becomes uncomfortable easily.

You are hesitant to exfoliate.

You want to focus on hydration, nourishment, moisture, and barrier support first.

Start with comfort.

Choose the Makeup Prep Kit if:

Your biggest concern is how your makeup looks.

Foundation sits on top of your skin.

It looks cakey.

It catches around flaky areas.

It looks like paint.

You want a simple routine that includes exfoliation, hydration, and moisture before makeup.

Start with the canvas.

Why Sonia takes a different approach to reactive skin

I have spent my career looking at skin before I ever reach for foundation.

I am a licensed esthetician and celebrity makeup artist.

I have worked on real faces since 1990.

And I have reactive, rosacea-prone skin myself.

So I understand why trying a new product can feel like a gamble when your skin reacts easily.

More is not always better.

Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is simplify.

Hydrate.

Nourish.

Pay attention.

Then decide what your skin actually needs next.

That is how I approach skin as a makeup artist.

And it is how I approach my own.

Skincare for makeup wearers

Sonia Roselli Beauty makes skincare for people who wear makeup.

Because skincare and makeup are not two separate conversations.

The condition of your skin affects what happens when foundation, concealer, and powder go on top of it.

That is why our products are designed in two ways.

They have a job to do as skincare.

And they have to make sense for someone who wears makeup.

Because makeup looks better when skin feels better.

Made in Japan

Water Elixir, Water Oil, Water Balm, and Intense Barrier Cream are all made in Japan.

Together, they make up Sonia Roselli Beauty’s sensitive skin prep routine.

Four skincare steps.

One clear purpose.

Hydrate, nourish, moisturize, and support skin that needs a gentler place to start.

Sexapeel™ Face & Body Exfoliation Kit

Smoother skin. From face to feet.

Your face and your body aren’t the same skin. So why exfoliate them the same way?

The Sexapeel™ Face & Body Exfoliation Kit gives you two non-abrasive gommage exfoliators, each formulated for the skin it’s meant to treat.

Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel uses Mandelic Acid + PHAs to gently lift dead skin and surface buildup from the face without gritty scrubs. It’s fragrance-free and designed with sensitive, reactive skin in mind.

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray uses Glycolic Acid + fruit acids to tackle the thicker, rougher skin on your body. Spray it on arms, legs, elbows, knees, feet, or anywhere skin feels rough and dull.

As you massage, watch the dead skin and surface buildup roll away. Rinse it off and skin feels noticeably softer and smoother.

Why You'll Love It

• Exfoliates face + body with formulas made for each

• Removes dead skin and surface buildup

• Smooths rough, flaky, uneven-looking texture

• Helps create a smoother canvas for foundation and concealer

• Preps body skin for self-tanner, body makeup, lotion, and moisturizer

• No gritty scrubs or physical exfoliating particles

• Face Gel is fragrance-free

• Made in Korea

What's Inside

Sexapeel™ Gommage Peeling Gel — Face
Your gentler facial exfoliator. Mandelic Acid + PHAs loosen dead skin and surface buildup while the gommage action rolls it away. Use when skin looks dull, flaky, uneven, or makeup keeps catching on texture.

Sexapeel™ Instant Exfoliation Spray — Body
Your heavy lifter for rough body skin. Glycolic Acid + a fruit-acid complex exfoliate arms, legs, elbows, knees, feet, and other rough areas. Especially useful before self-tanner, body makeup, lotion, or moisturizer.

How to Use

FACE — Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel

1. Start with clean, completely dry skin.

3. Wait about 10 seconds.

4. Massage with short back-and-forth motions and watch the dead skin and surface buildup roll away.

5. Rinse with lukewarm water.

The Spray can also be used on the face if your skin is not sensitive, but when in doubt, use the Gel for facial exfoliation.

FAQ

Is this a scrub?
No. Neither Sexapeel contains gritty scrub particles. The formulas use exfoliating acids plus gommage action to loosen and lift dead skin and surface buildup.

What are those little rolls I see coming off my skin?
As you massage, the formula rolls together with dead skin and surface buildup. Think of it like a lint roller for your skin: it helps lift what’s sitting loose on the surface without abrasive scrubbing.

Can sensitive skin use Sexapeel?
For sensitive facial skin, use Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel. It was formulated as the gentler facial option and is fragrance-free. Start once weekly and increase only as your skin tolerates it.

Can I use the Spray on my face?
If your facial skin is not sensitive, yes. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, or simply aren't sure, use the Gommage Peeling Gel on your face instead.

Can I use Sexapeel with retinol or tretinoin?
Yes, but not on the same day. Alternate your Sexapeel and retinoid/tretinoin days.

Can I use the Body Spray before self-tanner?
Yes. Exfoliating rough, dry surface buildup before self-tanner helps create a smoother starting canvas. Avoid using it on freshly shaved or irritated skin.

Can I use these before makeup?
Yes. The Face Gel is especially useful when foundation keeps catching on flaky or uneven-looking texture. Follow with hydration and moisturizer before applying makeup.

How often should I use them?
Face Gel: 1–3 times per week.
Body Spray: every other day as needed and tolerated.

Better Skin. Even Better Makeup.

When makeup keeps catching on texture, another foundation isn't always the answer.

Start with the skin underneath it.

An authentic Korean gommage peeling gel for face and sensitive skin...

Product Description 

Formulated in South Korea, SexApeel Gommage Peeling Gel is a professional-grade facial exfoliator engineered for sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin.

Unlike traditional face scrubs that use jagged nutshells that tear delicate skin, or harsh chemical acid peels that cause stinging and post-peel flaking, SexApeel uses gentle Korean gommage technology.

Natural plant-derived cellulose and fruit enzymes (papaya, apple, and lemon) bind selectively to dead surface protein cells and excess oil, rolling them away into soft, visible micro-flakes in just 45 seconds.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Flawless Makeup Canvas: Eliminates dry micro-flakes on the nose, cheeks, and forehead so liquid foundation glides on seamlessly with zero caking, clinging, or pilling.

• Zero Barrier Damage: Smooths rough, uneven skin texture without micro-tears, acid stinging, or flushing redness.

• Hydrated & Soothed Base: Infused with soothing Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and Centella Asiatica to leave your fresh skin layer soft, calm, and plump after rinsing.

Key Details:

• Format: Smooth Gommage Gel

• Best For: All skin types, including sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin

• Usage: 1–2 times per week on dry skin

• Origin: Formulated & Made in South Korea

Meet the body exfoliant that lets you watch dead skin disappear in real time.

Sexapeel™ Instant Exfoliation Spray is a Korean-formulated glycolic acid gommage exfoliant that dissolves surface buildup, rolls it away visibly, and leaves arms, legs, elbows, knees, feet, and chest noticeably smoother — in under two minutes.

How it works: Spray onto completely dry skin. Wait 5 seconds. Massage in  and watch gray-beige rolls of dead skin lift away — no scrubbing, no stinging, no stripping. Rinse in the shower. Done.

Why it works better than scrubs: Gritty scrubs create micro-tears without fully removing dead cells. Sexapeel combines glycolic acid + banana, kiwi, and apple fruit-acid enzymes to chemically loosen surface buildup while the gommage gel physically binds to debris — so you see the proof rolling off your skin.

What it Helps:

• Keratosis pilaris (KP / "chicken skin") on arms and legs
• Strawberry legs and dark pores
• Rough, ashy, or dull body skin
• Ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing
• Uneven texture on elbows, knees, and heels
• Patchy or streaky self-tanner buildup

Skin prep that pros use: Formulated by celebrity makeup artist and esthetician Sonia Roselli, Sexapeel is the skin prep step that makes everything else work better — self-tanner applies evenly, body moisturizer absorbs deeper, and shaved skin stays smoother longer. Use it before self-tanning or before shaving for best results.

Nourishing, not stripping: A base of moringa oil, argan oil, sodium hyaluronate, aloe, and hydrolyzed collagen leaves skin conditioned and hydrated after rinsing — not tight or raw.

Use every other day for the first month on KP-prone or very rough skin, then 1–2x per week to maintain. Results are visible after the first use; significant texture improvement in 4 weeks.

Made in Korea. Formulated for sensitive and reactive body skin. Always apply SPF to treated areas — AHA exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.

Your skincare can only perform as well as it’s applied. The SkinPrep Brush ensures every cream, serum, and moisturizer is distributed evenly across your skin—without your fingers ever touching your face or your products.

This small but powerful tool helps you:

• Use less product while achieving better results

• Apply skincare evenly for a smoother, more balanced complexion

• Reduce contamination and breakouts caused by hand-to-face contact

• Support your skin barrier by minimizing friction and over-rubbing

• Create a spa-quality ritual you’ll actually look forward to

It’s not another gadget. It’s the missing professional step in your daily routine.

Skin Prep Starter Kit for Dry + Dehydrated Skin

Smoother Skin. Plumper Hydration. Better-Looking Foundation & Concealer.

You moisturize. You apply foundation. And somehow, your makeup still looks dry, cakey, or older than your actual skin.

Sound familiar?

Your foundation might not be the problem. Your skin might need better preparation.

The Skin Prep Starter Kit for Dry + Dehydrated Skin by Sonia Roselli Beauty is a complete five-product Japanese skincare and makeup preparation routine designed to address dryness, dehydration, rough-looking texture, and fine lines that become more noticeable beneath foundation and concealer.

Created by professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician Sonia Roselli, this kit combines five essential skin prep steps:

Exfoliate. Hydrate. Prep Your Eyes. Nourish. Moisturize.

The result is softer, smoother, more supple-looking skin and a better-moisturized surface for makeup.

Because great foundation starts with the skin underneath.

What It Does for Your Skin

• Smooths Dry, Flaky-Looking Texture: Helps remove accumulated surface dead skin so foundation has a smoother place to land.

• Replenishes Hydration: Moisture-binding ingredients help skin feel hydrated, comfortable, and more supple.

• Plumps the Appearance of Fine Lines: Helps soften the look of dehydration lines that foundation and concealer can exaggerate.

• Nourishes Dry Skin: Lightweight botanical oils condition skin without requiring heavy, greasy layers.

• Supports Your Moisture Barrier: Ceramides, amino acids, and emollients help maintain soft, moisturized skin.

• Improves the Look of Foundation & Concealer: Helps makeup apply more evenly and look less cakey, patchy, or dry.

• Restores a Healthy-Looking Glow: Hydration and conditioning help dull-looking skin appear smoother, fresher, and more radiant.

Why Dry + Dehydrated Skin Needs More Than Moisturizer

Dry skin and dehydrated skin aren't the same thing.

Dry skin generally produces less natural oil. Dehydrated skin lacks sufficient water.

You can experience both at the same time.

And when you add accumulated dead skin, dehydration lines, and dryness around your eyes, foundation and concealer can make those concerns look even more noticeable.

That's why applying another layer of moisturizer doesn't always solve the problem.

This kit addresses the different factors that affect how your skin looks and feels:

• Dead skin buildup: Sexapeel Gommage helps remove accumulated surface dead skin.

• Dehydration: Water Elixir supplies lightweight, water-binding hydration.

• Dryness around the eyes: Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel provides targeted eye-area care.

• Lack of suppleness: Water Oil nourishes and conditions with lightweight botanical oils.

• Moisture and makeup preparation: Water Balm moisturizes and creates a smoother-feeling finish.

Five different jobs. One coordinated skincare routine.

What's Included in Your Kit?

1. Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel

Exfoliate | Smooth Rough Texture | Prep for Foundation

Foundation can cling to accumulated dead skin, making your complexion look flaky, patchy, or uneven.

Sexapeel Gommage is a facial exfoliating gel designed to gently lift and remove accumulated surface dead skin.

As the gel is massaged over the skin, it forms soft rolls that help lift away surface buildup. Rinse thoroughly to reveal a smoother-feeling surface.

Skin Benefits:

• Removes accumulated surface dead skin.

• Helps improve the appearance of rough, uneven texture.

• Makes dry, flaky-looking areas appear smoother when buildup is the cause.

• Helps create a better-prepared surface for foundation.

Why It Matters: Adding more moisturizer over dead skin buildup doesn't necessarily remove the buildup. Appropriate exfoliation addresses that separate problem.

Use Sexapeel Gommage occasionally, according to skin tolerance and the product directions.

2. Water Elixir Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence

Hydrate | Plump | Soften Dehydration Lines

Dehydrated skin can look dull, feel tight, and make fine lines appear more noticeable.

Water Elixir is a lightweight Japanese hydrating essence formulated to replenish water-based hydration without leaving a heavy finish.

Its moisture-binding ingredients help skin feel softer and appear more supple.

Key Ingredients:

• Sodium Hyaluronate: Helps bind moisture and support a plumper-looking complexion.

• Glycerin: Attracts and holds water to support hydration.

• Sodium PCA: A component associated with skin's natural moisturizing factors.

• Betaine: Helps maintain comfortable hydration.

• Amino Acids: Support skin softness and moisture retention.

Skin Benefits:

• Replenishes lightweight hydration.

• Helps soften the appearance of dehydration lines.

• Supports a plumper, more supple-looking complexion.

• Prepares skin for subsequent moisturizing products.

Why It Matters: Skin can lack water even when it feels oily or has already been moisturized. Water Elixir provides a dedicated hydration step.

3. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Hydrate the Eye Area | Soften Fine Lines | Prep for Concealer

Your under-eye area deserves more than leftover face moisturizer.

The delicate skin around your eyes can show dryness and fine lines more visibly, especially when concealer settles into creases.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is a targeted eye treatment designed to provide lightweight hydration and improve the appearance of fine lines.

Skin Benefits:

• Hydrates the delicate eye area.

• Helps soften the appearance of fine lines.

• Supports smoother-looking under-eye skin.

• Prepares the area for more even-looking concealer application.

Why It Matters: Foundation and concealer have different application challenges. A dedicated eye-preparation step helps address the specific needs of the under-eye area.

4. Water Oil Dual-Phase Skin Prep Face Serum-Oil

Nourish | Improve Suppleness | Add Radiance

Think facial oils are too greasy to wear under makeup?

Water Oil is a featherlight Japanese dual-phase serum-oil formulated to condition skin without the heavy, slippery feel associated with many traditional face oils.

It combines squalane, botanical oils, and a peptide to help skin look softer, more supple, and luminous.
