Why You Need It
Hydrating Glide Serum to Protect Your Open Skin Channels.
When you microneedle, you create thousands of temporary micro-channels in your skin barrier. Applying standard cosmetic serums, packed with fragrances, hidden acids, or complex actives, can lead to deep inflammation, chronic irritation, or adverse skin reactions.Our Hydrating Glide Serum is formulated to be a "naked," high-tolerance formula. It doesn't try to cure every skin concern at once; instead, it does the most important job well: keeping your treatment comfortable and friction-free.Bonus Daily Multi-Tasker: You don't have to pack this Hydrating Glide Serum away between treatments. Because it is so pure, it doubles as a daily intensive hydrating serum to flood your skin with moisture morning and night.Don't just take our word for it—clinical science backs it up. A medical study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) evaluated the safety of combining treatments and found that using a pure hyaluronic acid glide with microneedling is highly safe, with over 80% of patients experiencing zero side effects while drastically improving skin results.
- Zero Needle Drag: Protects against painful micro-tears and surface scratches.
- Pure Dual-Weight HA: Delivers lasting hydration while locking moisture at the surface.
- Lower Irritation Risk: Free from fragrances, essential oils, drying alcohols, retinoids, and exfoliating acids.
What It Is
Hydrating Glide Serum was created for Topical Safety.
At-home microneedling devices are designed for surface-level skin rejuvenation, not for injecting cosmetics deep into the body. Because of this, using complex mesotherapy cocktails or unvetted "sterile" injectables at home introduces unnecessary risks.
Which Microneedling Serum Should I Choose?
Hydration + Glide
Choose the Hydrating Glide Serum if you want a simple dual-weight Hyaluronic Acid formula for smooth device movement and intensive hydration.
Pigmentation + Glide
Choose the Microneedling Pigmentation Serum — 4% Tranexamic Acid + Hyaluronic Acid — if your primary concern is melasma, post-inflammatory dark marks, pigmentation or uneven-looking skin tone.
How to Use
Keep your skin actively wet throughout your entire treatment.
- Cleanse and prep your treatment area thoroughly.
- Apply a generous layer of serum to one localized section of your face at a time.
- Glide your device over the wet skin. If the pen begins to pull or drag, reapply the serum immediately.
- Leave the serum on your skin after needling to lock in moisture. Follow with our Ceramide Barrier Support Cream.
- Wait until your skin fully settles before reintroducing your aggressive daily actives (like Retinol or Vitamin C).

I have been battling to find a microneedling serum and I love this one, I also use it twice a day and then apply the barrier cream afterwards. My dull skin looks alive.

This serum is amazing. I’ve tried others to microneedle with and non have done anything for my pigmentation however with this there is a visible difference and the texture of my skin has improved dramatically.
