Caldera + Lab - The Hydro Layer

Hero Ingredients: A high-tech blend for powerful anti-aging and hydration.

Patent-Pending Exosome Technology: Think of these as tiny, super-efficient delivery drones for your skin. They are 1000x smaller than a pore and are designed to carry the active ingredients deep into the skin where they can work most effectively, resulting in 20x more absorption.

Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid + Ceramides: This is your multi-level hydration team. Hyaluronic and Polyglutamic Acid are moisture magnets that plump the skin, while Ceramides are essential fats that reinforce your skin's barrier to lock that moisture in.

Peptide Growth Factors: These are smart proteins that act like a signal, encouraging your skin to produce more of its own collagen. This is key for improving the skin's firmness and elasticity over time.

This moisturizer is suitable for all skin types. Its weightless, non-greasy texture makes it ideal for anyone, but it is particularly effective for men looking to address signs of aging like fine lines, deeper wrinkles, loss of firmness, and enlarged pores.

Visibly Reduces Lines and Wrinkles: A potent formula that helps to smooth and firm the skin.

Provides Deep, Lightweight Hydration: Delivers instant and lasting moisture without a heavy or greasy feel.

Firms Skin and Improves Elasticity: Peptide growth factors support the skin's natural collagen production.

Minimizes the Appearance of Pores: Helps to refine skin texture for a smoother look.

Use daily, both morning and night, for the best results.

Step 1: After cleansing (and applying any serums), dispense a dime-sized amount of the moisturizer onto your fingertips.

Step 2: Gently massage the moisturizer onto your face and neck until it is fully absorbed.

Step 3: In the morning, always follow up with sunscreen for daily sun protection.

This product is dermatologist tested, fragrance-free, and proven not to clog pores. However, it contains a highly concentrated blend of numerous botanical extracts.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. If you have a very sensitive scalp, a patch test is always a good idea.

The texture of this moisturizer is a real highlight. It's a gel-cream, so it feels incredibly light and refreshing but provides the deep, lasting hydration you'd expect from a much heavier cream. It sinks in instantly with a completely shine-free finish, making it a perfect base for applying sunscreen in the morning without any pilling or greasy feeling.

This product is fragrance-free.

What are exosomes and what do they do?
Exosomes are like tiny messenger molecules, 1000 times smaller than a skin pore. In this formula, they act as delivery vehicles, carrying the active ingredients inside them and guiding them to the right layer of skin. This targeted delivery means the ingredients can work more efficiently and effectively.

What is a "gel-cream"?
A gel-cream is a hybrid texture that gives you the best of both worlds. It has the lightweight, refreshing, and fast-absorbing feel of a water-based gel, but it provides the lasting moisture and barrier support of a more traditional cream. It's an ideal texture for most skin types.

Can I use this as my only anti-aging product?
Yes, this is a powerful and comprehensive anti-aging moisturizer. It's designed to be a workhorse product that addresses multiple concerns at once. For an even greater boost, you can layer it over a targeted serum.
