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

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.

2. Apply a nickel-sized amount.

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.

6. Follow with your hydrating skincare.

Use 1–3 times per week. If your skin is sensitive or highly reactive, start once weekly.

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.

A Duo of our Best-sellers

1. SexApeel™ Instant Exfoliation Spray is arguably the most famous product in Sonia Roselli’s line. It’s a "gommage" style exfoliator, which is a gentle, French-inspired technique (popularized in Korean beauty) that "erases" dead skin without the need for harsh scrubbing or gritty beads.
2. Water Balm Skin Prep is the "sealant" that makes skin glow. It is a unique 5-in-1 gel-cream designed to replace your toner, serum, day cream, night cream, and makeup primer. It’s a cult favorite among professional makeup artists because it gives the skin a "plumped from within" look that acts like a real-life Instagram filter.

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

• Helps skin feel less tight

• Supports softer, more comfortable skin

• Prepares the skin for Water Balm

• Helps simplify multiple serum steps

Use it when:

• Your skin feels tight after cleansing

• Your skin becomes oily but still feels dehydrated

• Your makeup catches on dry-looking areas

• Heavy hydration products feel like too much

• You want one clear hydration step

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

• Foundation looks uneven over your skincare

• You are tired of layering moisturizer and primer

• Your skin feels tight underneath makeup

• You want a repeatable morning 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

• Primer-fatigued makeup wearers

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

Pilling may involve:

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.

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.

Wake Up Hydrated Kit

Japanese Overnight Hydration & Moisture Barrier Skincare Duo

The Wake Up Hydrated Kit by Sonia Roselli Beauty is a two-step Japanese skincare replenishment kit designed to help dry, dehydrated, and tight-feeling skin stay moisturized overnight so you wake up with softer, smoother, more comfortable skin.

Featuring Water Elixir Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence and Intense Barrier Cream, this hydrating serum and rich moisturizer duo combines water-based hydration with moisture-barrier support to help reduce moisture loss, soften visible dryness, and improve skin suppleness.

The kit is particularly beneficial for skin that feels dry again shortly after moisturizing, becomes uncomfortable overnight, or looks flaky and uneven beneath foundation.

Water Elixir delivers lightweight hydration with humectants, peptides, amino acids, and sodium hyaluronate. Intense Barrier Cream follows with ceramides, squalane, shea butter, and other moisturizing ingredients to help maintain that hydration and provide richer overnight moisture.

Together, the formulas support a softer, smoother, more hydrated-looking complexion by morning.

The kit also serves as overnight skin prep for better-looking makeup. Maintaining moisture overnight helps create a smoother-feeling surface for the next day's foundation and concealer, particularly when dryness causes makeup to cling to patches, emphasize fine lines, or look cakey.

What's Included

1. Water Elixir Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence | 60 mL

Product Type: Japanese Hydrating Essence, Facial Hydrating Serum, Moisture-Barrier-Supporting Skin Prep

Water Elixir is a lightweight, fast-absorbing Japanese skincare essence designed to replenish hydration, improve the appearance of dehydrated skin, and support a smoother, more supple complexion.

Unlike traditional cleansing toners, Water Elixir is a leave-on hydration treatment applied after cleansing and before moisturizer.

Its watery consistency allows it to deliver moisture-binding ingredients without the heavy, sticky, or greasy feeling associated with some facial serums.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

• Glycerin: Attracts water to help maintain hydration and soften the appearance of dryness.

• Sodium Hyaluronate: Helps bind moisture for a plumper, smoother-looking complexion.

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: A cosmetic peptide that supports the appearance of firmer, smoother skin.

• Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate: A peptide used to address the appearance of expression lines.

• Sodium PCA: Helps maintain skin hydration and comfort.

• Amino Acids and Betaine: Support moisture balance and softer-feeling skin.

• Ceramide-Mimicking Emollients: Help support the skin's moisture barrier without relying on an INCI-listed ceramide ingredient.

• Rosa Centifolia Flower Water: Provides skin-conditioning benefits.

• Hydrolyzed Silk: Helps condition skin and maintain a smooth, supple feel.

What Water Elixir Does

Water Elixir helps address dehydration, tightness, rough-feeling texture, and the appearance of fine lines made more noticeable by insufficient hydration.

It provides the lightweight hydration step before Intense Barrier Cream, helping create a more comfortable, moisturized skin surface.

Water Elixir can be used morning and evening, including as a hydration step before daytime makeup preparation.

2. Intense Barrier Cream | 50 mL

Product Type: Rich Facial Moisturizer, Overnight Moisturizer, Moisture Barrier Cream

Intense Barrier Cream is a rich Japanese facial moisturizer designed to support the skin's moisture barrier, reduce moisture loss, and provide lasting comfort to dry, very dry, or reactive-feeling skin.

The cream combines emollients, humectants, ceramides, and lipid-rich moisturizing ingredients to help maintain soft, supple skin and relieve the uncomfortable feeling associated with persistent dryness.

Unlike some heavy night creams that sit on the surface and leave a greasy coating, Intense Barrier Cream is formulated to melt into the skin while providing substantial moisturizing support.

It is especially relevant for customers whose skin feels dry again by morning, experiences visible flaking, or requires richer moisture while using retinol or tretinoin.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

• Ceramide NG: Helps support the skin's moisture barrier and reduce moisture loss.

• Squalane: Conditions skin and supports softness, suppleness, and comfort.

• Shea Butter: Provides rich moisturizing benefits and helps limit water loss.

• Niacinamide: Supports moisture-barrier function and a smoother, more even-looking complexion.

• Sodium Hyaluronate: Helps attract and retain moisture.

• Urea: Hydrates and softens dry, rough-feeling skin.

• Glycerin: A moisture-binding humectant that helps maintain hydration.

• Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate: A licorice-derived ingredient that supports calmer-looking skin.

• Phytosterols and Hydrogenated Lecithin: Help condition the skin and maintain moisture.

What Intense Barrier Cream Does

Intense Barrier Cream helps reduce moisture loss, maintain skin softness, improve comfort, and support the appearance of smoother, more moisturized skin by morning.

It can be used as a nighttime facial moisturizer, neck and décolletage moisturizer, and additional moisturizing step around the orbital eye area.

Although primarily designed for nighttime use, it may also be used during the day when skin requires richer moisture.

Why Water Elixir and Intense Barrier Cream Work Together

Adding hydration and keeping skin moisturized are two different jobs.

Skin can feel dry even after applying moisturizer when its hydration needs and moisture-retention needs are not adequately addressed.

Water Elixir supplies lightweight, water-based hydration through humectants such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and Sodium PCA.

Intense Barrier Cream follows with richer moisturizing ingredients, including Ceramide NG, squalane, and shea butter, that help condition skin and reduce moisture loss.

Water Elixir hydrates. Intense Barrier Cream helps seal in that moisture.

This complementary pairing helps maintain softer, smoother, more comfortable-feeling skin overnight without requiring an elaborate skincare routine.

Skin Concerns Addressed

Dry Skin That Still Feels Dry After Moisturizing

For customers who apply moisturizer but continue experiencing tightness, rough texture, or insufficient moisture.

The kit combines water-binding ingredients with richer moisturizing support to help maintain comfort.

Overnight Moisture Loss

For skin that feels comfortable at bedtime but dry or tight again in the morning.

Intense Barrier Cream contains moisturizing lipids and barrier-supporting ingredients that help reduce moisture loss overnight.

Dehydration and Fine Lines

For skin that appears less plump or shows more noticeable fine lines associated with dehydration.

Water Elixir helps replenish hydration, while Intense Barrier Cream helps maintain a moisturized, supple surface.

Dry, Rough, or Flaky-Looking Skin

For customers experiencing dry patches, rough-feeling texture, and foundation that emphasizes visible dryness.

Consistent hydration and moisturizing help soften dry areas and support a smoother-looking complexion.

Retinol and Tretinoin-Associated Dryness

For customers whose retinoid routines leave skin feeling dry, tight, or uncomfortable.

Both formulas provide hydration and moisture support that can complement retinoid skincare routines when individually tolerated.

The kit is not a treatment for retinoid reactions and does not replace guidance from a prescribing clinician.

Sensitive or Reactive-Feeling Skin

For customers who prefer hydration and moisturizing support without added fragrance.

Both formulas are designed for skin comfort, although customers with known ingredient sensitivities should review the complete ingredient lists.

Makeup That Clings to Dry Patches

For makeup wearers whose foundation looks flaky, patchy, cakey, or emphasizes dehydration-related fine lines.

Maintaining a moisturized, supple skin surface overnight can help create a better starting point for the following day's makeup application.

Overnight Skincare Is Tomorrow's Skin Prep

Makeup doesn't suddenly become cakey when you apply foundation. Sometimes the problem begins with the condition of the skin underneath.

When skin is dry or dehydrated, foundation can emphasize rough texture, catch on dry patches, and make fine lines appear more noticeable.

The Wake Up Hydrated Kit addresses the skincare side of that problem.

Water Elixir provides hydration, while Intense Barrier Cream helps maintain moisture overnight.

By morning, skin can feel softer, smoother, and more comfortable, creating a better foundation for your daytime skincare and makeup.

The kit does not replace every makeup preparation step or guarantee that makeup will not pill, crease, or separate. Its purpose is to help maintain the skin's hydration and moisture so makeup has a better surface to sit on.

Who Is the Wake Up Hydrated Kit For?

The Wake Up Hydrated Kit is especially suitable for:

• Dry and Very Dry Skin: Skin needing richer moisturizing support and relief from tightness.

• Dehydrated Skin: Skin that lacks water and appears less plump or supple.

• Retinol and Tretinoin Users: Customers experiencing dryness or visible flaking while using retinoids.

• Skin That Feels Dry Again by Morning: Customers whose current evening moisturizer does not provide enough lasting comfort.

• Dry, Rough-Feeling Texture: Skin that needs hydration and moisturizing to maintain softness.

• Sensitive or Reactive-Feeling Skin: Customers who tolerate the formulas and prefer products without added fragrance.

• Rosacea-Prone Skin: Customers needing gentle hydration and moisture support, subject to ingredient tolerance.

• Makeup Wearers: People whose foundation clings to dry patches, emphasizes texture, or looks cakey.

• Customers in Dry Climates: Skin exposed to indoor heating, air conditioning, cold weather, or low humidity.

• Skincare Replenishment Customers: Existing Sonia Roselli Beauty customers who need to replace Water Elixir and Intense Barrier Cream.

Intense Barrier Cream is formulated for customers needing richer moisture. Customers with oily or acne-prone skin may prefer a lighter moisturizer, such as Water Balm.

How to Use the Wake Up Hydrated Kit

Evening | Hydrate → Seal

Step 1: Start With Clean Skin

Wash your face using your preferred cleanser to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup.

Step 2: Hydrate With Water Elixir

Apply approximately two pumps to clean skin.

Gently press or pat into the face until absorbed.

For additional hydration, apply two thin layers, allowing the first layer to absorb before applying the next.

Step 3: Apply Other Skincare If Needed

Use compatible serums, eye treatments, or facial oils according to your regular routine.

Step 4: Seal With Intense Barrier Cream

Warm approximately a pea-sized amount between your fingertips.

Gently press over the face, neck, and décolletage.

Leave on overnight as the final moisturizing step.

Morning | Optional Additional Hydration

Water Elixir can also be used in the morning after cleansing and before moisturizer.

For customers who need richer daytime moisture, Intense Barrier Cream can be applied before sunscreen.

Customers who prefer lighter daytime moisture may use Water Balm separately.

Always finish daytime skincare with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Where This Kit Fits in Your Skincare Routine

The Wake Up Hydrated Kit is a replenishment kit, not a complete skincare system.

It contains two complementary products intended to add hydration and provide richer moisture.

Customers may continue using their existing cleanser, eye products, targeted serums, facial oils, or other compatible skincare treatments.

Simple Evening Routine:

Cleanser → Water Elixir → Intense Barrier Cream

Expanded Sonia Roselli Beauty Evening Routine:

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

Additional products in the expanded routine are sold separately.

How the Wake Up Hydrated Kit Compares With Other Sonia Roselli Beauty Kits

Wake Up Hydrated Kit vs. Hydration Heroes Facial Skin Prep Kit

Both kits contain Water Elixir.

Hydration Heroes pairs Water Elixir with lightweight Water Balm for daytime hydration and makeup preparation.

Wake Up Hydrated pairs Water Elixir with richer Intense Barrier Cream for customers needing more substantial moisture, particularly overnight.

Wake Up Hydrated Kit vs. Dry Skin Comfort Kit

Dry Skin Comfort pairs Water Oil with Intense Barrier Cream, emphasizing nourishing lipids and richer moisture.

Wake Up Hydrated pairs Water Elixir with Intense Barrier Cream, emphasizing water-based hydration followed by richer moisturizing support.

Wake Up Hydrated Kit vs. Cleanse & Moisturize Kit

Cleanse & Moisturize provides Japanese Cleansing Oil and Water Balm for daily makeup removal, facial cleansing, and lightweight moisturizing.

Wake Up Hydrated focuses on hydration and richer moisture rather than cleansing.

Wake Up Hydrated Kit vs. Overnight Recovery Kit

Overnight Recovery is a five-product evening skincare system with cleansing, hydration, eye treatment, facial oil, and rich moisturizing.

Wake Up Hydrated provides only the hydrating essence and rich moisturizer, making it a simpler option for customers who already own the other skincare essentials.

Ingredient and Formulation Information

Both products are manufactured in Japan.

Water Elixir contains glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, peptides, amino acids, botanical extracts, hydrolyzed silk, and fermented soy-derived ingredients.

Intense Barrier Cream contains Ceramide NG, squalane, shea butter, niacinamide, urea, sodium hyaluronate, beeswax, and other skin-conditioning ingredients.

Neither product contains added fragrance. Water Elixir contains rose flower water, which has an ingredient-derived aroma.

The kit is not vegan because Water Elixir contains hydrolyzed silk and Intense Barrier Cream contains beeswax.

Customers with known sensitivities to soy, silk, or other listed ingredients should review the complete INCI lists before use.

Water Elixir's documented formula includes ceramide-mimicking ingredients, not an INCI-listed ceramide. Intense Barrier Cream contains Ceramide NG.

What Is Not Included

The Wake Up Hydrated Kit includes only:

1. Water Elixir Hydrating Serum & Skin Prep Essence — 60 mL

2. Intense Barrier Cream — 50 mL

The kit does not include a cleanser, exfoliating treatment, Water Oil, Water Balm, eye gel, sunscreen, makeup, or skincare tools.

CTA: SHOP CONCEALER SKIN PREP

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.

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.

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.

It is cosmetic skincare.

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.

Why Water Elixir + Water Oil Work Better Together

Hydrate First. Nourish Second.

These products do different jobs, which is why they belong together.

Water Elixir helps replenish hydration.

Water Oil follows with nourishing emollients that help maintain skin softness and reduce the feeling of dryness.

Together, they create a simple hydration-and-nourishment routine for better-looking skin and makeup.

For very dry skin, a separate moisturizer such as Water Balm or Intense Barrier Cream may be added as the final moisturizing step.

How to Use Your Lasting Hydration Kit

Step 1. Start With Clean Skin

Cleanse your face and gently pat dry.

This kit does not include a cleanser. Japanese Cleansing Oil is available separately for makeup and sunscreen removal.

Step 2. Hydrate With Water Elixir

Apply approximately two pumps of Water Elixir to your face and neck.

Gently press into skin until absorbed.

The payoff: Skin that feels refreshed, hydrated, and plumper.

Step 3. Nourish With Water Oil

Shake Water Oil well before every use.

Apply approximately one pump to your fingertips or Skin Prep Brush.

Gently press into your face and neck.

The payoff: Soft, supple skin with lightweight nourishment and a natural-looking glow.

Step 4. Finish Your Routine

Morning: Follow with moisturizer if needed, then sunscreen and foundation.

Evening: Use after cleansing, followed by your preferred moisturizer if your skin needs additional moisture retention.

Both Water Elixir and Water Oil can be used morning and evening.

Moisturizer, cleanser, Skin Prep Brush, sunscreen, and makeup are sold separately.

Who Is This Kit For?

This Kit Is for You If:

• Your skin feels thirsty even after moisturizing. You want an additional water-binding hydration step.

• Your face feels tight or looks dull. You want skin that feels more supple and looks refreshed.

• Your foundation catches on dry-looking areas. You want to improve skin's appearance before applying makeup.

• You dislike heavy facial oils. You want lightweight nourishment with a featherlight serum-oil texture.

• You want hydration without a complicated routine. You prefer two complementary products that fit into your existing skincare.

Especially relevant for dehydrated-feeling, dry, normal-to-dry, and moisture-depleted skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Water Elixir and Water Oil?

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.

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.

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.

CTA: Shop Dry Skin Comfort

Still Dry After Moisturizing?

You wash your face.

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.

Product Description

The clearest fix for foundation that pills, settles, or looks cakey by noon: exfoliate, hydrate, seal — in that order. Sexapeel Gommage removes the buildup causing texture and patchiness. Water Elixir hydrates the dehydration causing settling. Water Balm seals it all in and replaces your primer. Three steps, one real logic, better makeup every day.

• Ceramide 3 (Balm) — supports a more comfortable, resilient-feeling barrier

How to Use the Essential Makeup Prep Kit

1. Exfoliate. Sexapeel Gommage, 1–3x/week, to remove the buildup causing texture and patchiness.
2. Hydrate. Water Elixir, morning and night, to fix the dehydration causing settling.
3. Seal. Water Balm, morning and night, to lock it in and prep for makeup.

FAQ

Why does this sequence — exfoliate, hydrate, seal — actually matter?
Makeup problems like pilling, settling, and cakey texture trace back to two causes: dead skin buildup and dehydration. This kit removes the buildup, fixes the dehydration, then seals it all in — addressing both root causes in one purchase.

Will this stop my foundation from settling into fine lines?
Yes. Removing buildup and hydrating skin first gives foundation an even, hydrated surface to sit on instead of clinging to dry patches or texture.

How long until I see results?
Skin feels smoother and more hydrated immediately. The exfoliation benefit builds over 3–4 weeks of consistent use — this is a daily-better routine, not a one-time fix.

Is this kit safe for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. All three products are formulated for reactive, sensitive, and rosacea-prone skin. The Gommage Gel is fragrance-free.

How often do I use each product?
Sexapeel Gommage: 1–3x/week. Water Elixir and Water Balm: daily, morning and night.

What's the difference between this and the Complete Makeup Prep Kit?
The Complete Makeup Prep Kit adds the Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel, specifically for concealer that creases or settles into fine lines around the eyes.

Do I need a separate primer if I use this kit?
No. Water Balm is formulated to replace a separate primer step, on top of hydrating and prepping skin.

How much do I save with this kit?
$172 retail value for $163 — a $9 savings, with more available on Auto Replenish.

I already own some of these products — should I still buy the kit?
If you're missing just one or two, buying individually may make more sense. This kit is built for starting the full three-step system at once.

Can I use Sexapeel Gommage and Water Elixir on the same day?
Yes — on exfoliation nights, use Sexapeel Gommage first, then follow with Water Elixir and Water Balm.

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

Your face and under-eyes have different needs. Your skincare should understand that.

Water Elixir replenishes hydration throughout the face.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel provides targeted care for the delicate eye area.

Water Balm moisturizes and smooths the complexion for foundation.

Each product has a purpose. Together, they simplify your skincare and makeup prep.

Stop fighting your makeup. Start loving the skin underneath.

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.

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.

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.

The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is designed for people whose main concern is sensitive, reactive, dry, tight, or easily uncomfortable skin.

Better Skin. Better Makeup.

Three-step skin prep for hydrated, cushioned, makeup-ready skin.

Great makeup starts with what’s underneath it.

The Ageless Beauty Kit is a three-step skincare and skin prep routine designed to flood skin with hydration, add lightweight nourishment, and seal it all in before makeup.

Water. Oil. Seal.

Water Elixir hydrates.
Water Oil adds lightweight nourishment and softness.
Water Balm seals in moisture and creates a smooth, cushioned surface for makeup.

Three full-size products.
Three simple steps.
One complete skin prep routine.

When your makeup doesn't sit right, look underneath it.

Foundation clinging to dry patches?

Concealer looking heavy?

Makeup separating, settling, or looking more like makeup than skin?

Before you blame your foundation, look at the skin underneath it.

When skin is dehydrated, dry, or under-prepped, even great makeup can struggle.

The Ageless Beauty Kit layers hydration, lightweight nourishment, and moisture in the right order to help skin feel soft, supple, and cushioned before foundation ever touches it.

The goal isn't more makeup.

It's better-prepped skin so your makeup looks more like skin.

Water. Oil. Seal.

Three products. Three different jobs.

1. WATER: Water Elixir

Start with hydration.

Water Elixir is a lightweight essence made with Hyaluronic Acid, amino acids, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5.

For your skin:
Helps skin feel hydrated, soft, and supple.

For your makeup:
Creates a hydrated base so foundation has a better surface to sit on.

How to use:
Press 2 pumps into cleansed, damp skin.

2. OIL: Water Oil

Next, add lightweight nourishment.

Water Oil combines Squalane, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Camellia Oil, Jojoba Oil, and other conditioning oils in a lightweight formula.

For your skin:
Helps skin feel softer, more supple, and comfortably nourished.

For your makeup:
Adds softness and slip to help prevent makeup from looking dry, patchy, or overly textured.

How to use:
Warm 1 pump between your palms and press into skin while it is still damp from Water Elixir.

3. SEAL: Water Balm

Finish with moisture.

Water Balm is a cushiony moisturizer made with Ceramide 3, Hydrolyzed Silk, amino acids, and humectants.

For your skin:
Helps skin feel moisturized, cushioned, and comfortable.

For your makeup:
Creates the final soft, hydrated surface before foundation and concealer.

How to use:
Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and press into skin. Wait about 60 seconds before applying makeup.

Is This Kit For You?

The Ageless Beauty Kit may be a good fit if:

• Foundation clings to dry areas.

• Concealer looks dry or heavy.

• Makeup emphasizes texture.

• Your skin feels tight or dehydrated.

• Moisturizer alone doesn't feel like enough.

• Your makeup looks good at first but worse as the day goes on.

• You want more softness and cushion underneath makeup.

• You want skincare and skin prep in one routine.

• You want a simple routine instead of layering a dozen products.

Don't prep for your age. Prep for the skin in front of you.

Whether you're 25, 45, or 75, skin can be dry, dehydrated, oily, sensitive, or under-prepped.

Your age doesn't determine your skin prep.

Your skin does.

Skincare First. Skin Prep Built In.

This isn't a makeup primer pretending to be skincare.

Every product has a skincare job.

Water Elixir: hydration.
Water Oil: nourishment.
Water Balm: moisture + seal.

Together, they create a simple Water → Oil → Seal routine you can use morning and night, whether you're wearing makeup or not.

And when you are wearing makeup?

You're starting with better-prepped skin.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

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.

Key Ingredients:

• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: Supports the appearance of firmer, smoother-looking skin.

• Squalane: Provides lightweight emollient conditioning and helps maintain softness.

• Japanese Camellia Seed Oil: Nourishes and conditions dry-feeling skin.

• Sea Buckthorn Oil: Contains fatty acids and carotenoids that support a radiant appearance.

• Argan, Jojoba, and Rice Bran Oils: Provide additional skin-conditioning benefits.

Skin Benefits:

• Nourishes and softens dry-feeling skin.

• Supports a firmer, smoother-looking appearance.

• Helps improve skin suppleness.

• Adds a healthy-looking, luminous finish.

• Layers beneath Water Balm for makeup preparation.

Why It Matters: Hydration alone may not provide enough emollient conditioning for skin that also feels dry. Water Oil adds nourishment without requiring a heavy traditional facial oil.

Shake before every use to combine the two phases.

5. Water Balm Gel-Cream Moisturizer & Makeup Prep

Moisturize | Smooth | Prepare for Foundation

Meet the moisturizer that understands makeup.

Water Balm is a lightweight Japanese gel-cream moisturizer formulated to hydrate skin while creating a smooth-feeling surface beneath foundation.

Its combination of ceramides, humectants, amino acids, hydrolyzed silk, and skin-smoothing ingredients helps skin feel soft and moisturized without a heavy cream finish.

Key Ingredients:

• Ceramide 3: Helps support skin's moisture barrier.

• Glycerin: Provides moisture-binding hydration.

• Sodium PCA: Helps maintain hydrated, supple-feeling skin.

• Amino Acid Complex: Supports moisture retention and skin softness.

• Hydrolyzed Silk: Contributes to a smooth, conditioned skin feel.

• Fermented Rice-Derived Ingredients: Support skin conditioning and a healthy-looking complexion.

Skin Benefits:

• Moisturizes and supports skin comfort.

• Helps soften the appearance of dehydration lines.

• Smooths the appearance of dry, uneven-looking texture.

• Creates a soft, moisturized finish beneath foundation.

• Helps makeup apply more evenly.

Why It Matters: Your moisturizer should do more than make your skin feel hydrated. It should also help create a smoother surface for foundation.

The Makeup Benefits: Why Skin Prep Changes Everything

Foundation Clinging to Dry Patches

When skin has accumulated dead skin or rough, dry-looking areas, foundation can catch on the surface.

Sexapeel Gommage helps address dead skin buildup, while Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Water Balm provide hydration and conditioning.

The goal: A softer, smoother-looking surface that allows foundation to apply more evenly.

Foundation Settling Into Fine Lines

Dehydration can exaggerate the appearance of fine lines, making foundation look heavier.

Water Elixir and Water Balm help moisturize and plump the appearance of skin, while Water Oil adds suppleness.

The goal: Softer-looking dehydration lines and a more natural foundation finish.

Concealer Looking Dry or Creased

The under-eye area often needs targeted attention.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel provides lightweight eye-area care to help prepare skin beneath concealer.

The goal: A smoother-looking under-eye surface and less emphasis on dryness-related lines.

Makeup Looking Cakey by Midday

When foundation sits on rough or dehydrated skin, adding more makeup may make the finish appear heavier.

This kit focuses on improving the skin surface before applying foundation.

The goal: Better-prepared skin so foundation looks more like skin and less like layers of makeup.

Dull, Tired-Looking Skin

Dehydration and dryness can make the complexion appear flat.

Water Elixir supports hydration, while Water Oil provides emollient conditioning and a luminous-looking finish.

The goal: Fresh, supple, radiant-looking skin, with or without makeup.

Who Is This Kit For?

The Skin Prep Starter Kit for Dry + Dehydrated Skin is designed for customers who:

• Experience both dryness and dehydration.

• Wake up with skin that feels tight or uncomfortable.

• Notice foundation clinging to dry patches.

• Have rough-feeling texture or visible surface flaking.

• Find that makeup emphasizes fine lines.

• Struggle with dry-looking under-eye concealer.

• Want plumper, more supple-looking skin.

• Prefer nourishment without heavy, greasy products.

• Want a complete skincare and makeup-prep routine without guessing which products to combine.

This kit is about your skin's needs, not your age.

How to Use Your Skin Prep Starter Kit

Step 1: Cleanse

Begin with clean skin.

Use Japanese Cleansing Oil to remove makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup when needed.

Japanese Cleansing Oil is sold separately.

Step 2: Exfoliate With Sexapeel Gommage

On exfoliation days, apply Sexapeel Gommage according to its directions, gently massage to lift accumulated dead skin, and rinse thoroughly.

Do not exfoliate actively irritated, broken, or compromised skin.

Exfoliation is occasional rather than mandatory every day.

Step 3: Hydrate With Water Elixir

Apply approximately two pumps to clean skin.

Gently press into your face to replenish lightweight hydration.

Step 4: Prep Your Eyes With Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel

Apply a small amount around the appropriate eye area according to product directions.

Use gentle application without pulling or rubbing the delicate skin.

Step 5: Nourish With Water Oil

Shake well before every use.

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

Step 6: Moisturize With Water Balm

Apply approximately a large pea-sized amount over Water Oil.

Press gently into the skin with your hands or the Sonia Roselli Beauty Skin Prep Brush.

Allow the moisturizer to settle before the next step.

Skin Prep Brush sold separately.

Step 7: Protect & Apply Makeup

During the day, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen before foundation and concealer.

Allow sunscreen to settle according to its product directions.

Your Daily Routine

Morning: Water Elixir → Eye Gel → Water Oil → Water Balm → SPF → Foundation & Concealer.

Evening: Cleanse → Water Elixir → Eye Gel → Water Oil → Water Balm.

Exfoliation Days: Add Sexapeel Gommage after cleansing and before your leave-on skincare.

For especially dry skin that needs richer overnight moisturizing, Intense Barrier Cream can be added separately.

What Makes This Kit Different From the Original Skin Prep Starter Kit?

The original Skin Prep Starter Kit includes three products:

• Sexapeel Gommage

• Water Elixir

• Water Balm

It introduces the essential exfoliation, hydration, and moisturizing steps.

The Skin Prep Starter Kit for Dry + Dehydrated Skin includes all three original products plus:

Water Oil: Adds lightweight emollient nourishment, suppleness, and radiance.

Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel: Adds targeted eye-area care and concealer preparation.

This makes the five-product kit a more comprehensive option for customers who want additional nourishment and targeted attention to fine lines around the eyes.

Is This Kit Suitable for Sensitive Skin?

Individual skin tolerance matters.

Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Water Balm provide hydrating or conditioning benefits, but Sexapeel Gommage is an exfoliating product and may not suit compromised or actively irritated skin.

If your skin is reactive, introduce new products individually, patch-test, and adjust exfoliation frequency.

Avoid exfoliating during an active irritation episode or when skin is peeling from treatments such as retinoids.

The kit is cosmetic skincare and is not intended to treat rosacea, eczema, or other medical skin conditions.

Do You Need All Five Products Every Day?

No.

The kit includes both everyday skincare and an occasional exfoliating treatment.

Water Elixir, Eye Gel, Water Oil, and Water Balm can form your daily routine.

Sexapeel Gommage is used when needed and according to tolerance.

You can also adjust the amounts of your leave-on products based on your skin's comfort and the makeup finish you prefer.

What's Not Included?

This kit does not include:

• Japanese Cleansing Oil

• Intense Barrier Cream

• Skin Prep Brush

• Broad-spectrum sunscreen

• Foundation or concealer

These products are sold separately.

Once You've Built Your Routine, Just Replenish

The Skin Prep Starter Kit for Dry + Dehydrated Skin is designed to introduce a more complete skincare and makeup-preparation routine.

When individual products begin running low, you can purchase them separately or choose the appropriate Sonia Roselli Beauty skincare replenishment kit.

Your skin changes. Your routine can change with it.

About Sonia Roselli Beauty

Sonia Roselli Beauty was founded by professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician Sonia Roselli, whose decades of experience working with skin and makeup shaped the brand's approach.

The Skin Prep Starter Kit for Dry + Dehydrated Skin combines five Japanese skincare products to support that goal through exfoliation, hydration, targeted eye care, nourishment, and moisturizing.

Better skin. Even better makeup.

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.

SKINCARE FOR MAKEUP WEARERS

Your skin prep may be.

Before You Buy Another Foundation

You changed the foundation.

Then the concealer.

Then the powder.

Maybe you added another skincare product underneath all of it.

And somehow your makeup still looks like makeup.

It catches around your nose.

Looks cakey by noon.

Settles into every line.

Pills over your skincare.

Or sits on top of your face instead of looking like skin.

Before you buy another foundation, look underneath it.

The Complete Skin Prep System gives you the full Sonia Roselli approach to preparing skin for makeup.

Not another random product.

The system.

One System. Every Sonia Roselli Skincare Formula.

This is the flagship Sonia Roselli Beauty skincare system.

It includes all eight full-size skincare formulas, plus a complimentary Skin Prep Brush.

Each product has its own job.

Together, they give you the flexibility to prep your skin based on what it actually needs that day.

Because professional skin prep is not about putting everything on your face at once.

It is about knowing what to reach for.

Plus a Complimentary Skin Prep Brush

Your Complete Skin Prep System includes a complimentary Skin Prep Brush.

Use it when you want a soft, even application of compatible skin prep products.

The brush is the bonus.

The complete skincare system is the reason to buy.

You Do Not Use Everything Every Day

This part matters.

Buying the complete system does not mean putting eight products on your face every morning.

More is not better.

The point is having the right options when your skin changes.

Some mornings you may need hydration and moisture.

Other days you may want additional nourishment.

The eye area may need something different from the rest of your face.

And exfoliation is something you use when appropriate, not simply because it is sitting on your bathroom counter.

The Complete Skin Prep System gives you the whole wardrobe.

You choose what your skin needs.

The Sonia Roselli Skin Prep Method

1. MELT

Start with Japanese Cleansing Oil to remove makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup.

2. SMOOTH

Use Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel when the face needs exfoliation.

Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray gives you another exfoliation option for face and body, but it is not for sensitive skin.

3. DRENCH

Layer Water Elixir when your skin needs lightweight hydration.

4. NOURISH

Add Water Oil when your skin wants more richness and slip.

5. SEAL

Finish with Water Balm.

Reach for Intense Barrier Cream when you want richer moisture and comfort.

EYE PREP

Use Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel when the eye area needs its own hydration step before concealer.

Then give your skincare a moment to settle.

Apply SPF as appropriate during the day.

Then makeup.

The Goal Is Not More Skincare

It is better prep.

When skin feels rough, piling foundation over it does not make the texture disappear.

When skin feels thirsty, another layer of powder is not always the answer.

When concealer looks heavy under the eyes, more concealer can make the problem more obvious.

The Complete Skin Prep System gives you another way to approach those makeup problems.

Start with the skin.

Then decide what the makeup actually needs.

What You May Notice

With the right routine for your skin, it may feel:

Softer.

Smoother.

More hydrated.

More comfortable.

And when makeup goes on, foundation and concealer can look smoother and less heavy on properly prepped skin.

You may even discover that you need less makeup than you thought.

Not because your foundation suddenly changed.

Because the skin underneath it did.

This Is Not Where Everyone Needs to Start

If you are new to Sonia Roselli Beauty and only want the essential face-prep steps, start with a smaller skin prep kit.

If you already own several Sonia Roselli products, fill the gaps in your routine instead of buying duplicates.

But if you are done buying one product at a time...

Done trying to figure out what is missing...

And ready to have the entire Sonia Roselli skincare system available when you need it...

This is it.

One purchase.

The whole system.

Created by a Makeup Artist Who Starts With Skin

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

She is also a licensed esthetician, complexion expert and skincare product developer.

That combination matters.

Because when makeup does not look right, Sonia does not automatically blame the foundation.

She looks at the skin underneath it.

How it feels.

Where it looks dry.

Where makeup is catching.

What the eye area needs.

Whether the skin needs hydration, nourishment, exfoliation or simply fewer layers.

Sonia also has reactive, rosacea-prone skin herself.

The Complete Skin Prep System brings that decades-long point of view home.

Great skincare. Better makeup.

The Complete Skin Prep System brings together Sonia Roselli Beauty's Japanese and Korean skincare formulas.
