IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst Peptide Gel 2 fl oz — Deep Hydration & Micro‑droplet Delivery

IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst is a lightweight peptide gel that transforms into tiny water droplets on contact to deliver an instant boost of hydration and radiance.

This nourishing gel from IMAGE Skincare’s best-selling VITAL C line uses a stable vitamin C derivative, hyaluronic acid and skin-smoothing peptides to refresh thirsty skin without heaviness. Designed for daily use, it dissolves into micro-droplets when massaged in, making it easy to layer under serums, moisturizers or makeup. The formula also includes orange peel oil for a subtle citrus scent and vitamin E to support skin nourishment.

How does this gel hydrate quickly so skin feels refreshed?

The gel is formulated to break into tiny water droplets on application, allowing fast absorption and immediate surface hydration. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture while lightweight carriers help active ingredients penetrate. It’s a refreshing way to revive skin throughout the day without greasiness.

• Converts to micro-droplets on contact for quick delivery.
• Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture in the skin.
• Light, non-oily texture suitable for layering under other products.

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula combines a stable vitamin C derivative with peptides, humectants and antioxidants to support skin brightness and smoothness. Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate provides a gentler, stable form of vitamin C, while acetyl hexapeptide-8 contributes to a softer-looking skin texture. Vitamin E and orange peel oil provide antioxidant support and a fresh scent.

• Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate: stable vitamin C source for brightening support.
• Acetyl hexapeptide-8: peptide to help improve the appearance of smoothness.
• Hyaluronic acid: moisture-binding ingredient to plump and hydrate.
• Vitamin E and orange peel oil: antioxidant support and uplifting fragrance.

When and how should you apply the VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst?

Use it in the morning and anytime during the day when skin needs a hydration lift. Apply a small amount to clean skin, then vigorously massage to activate the bursting water-gel effect. It layers well beneath sunscreen, serums or makeup for added moisture without interfering with finish.

• Apply to clean skin and massage until micro-droplets form.
• Use under sunscreen in the morning or alone for midday refreshment.
• Suitable to reapply as needed for an instant hydration boost.

Will this product work for different skin types?

The lightweight, water-bursting texture is formulated to be comfortable for all skin types, with particular benefit for dry and mature skin seeking extra moisture and smoother appearance. Because the vitamin C derivative used is stable and gentle, it can be incorporated into many routines, though sensitive skin users should patch test new actives.

• All skin types can enjoy the lightweight hydration.
• Especially helpful for dry and mature skin needing a moisture boost.
• Patch test if you have very reactive or sensitized skin.

Who this is for: The VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst is ideal for anyone wanting an instant, non-greasy hydration lift with antioxidant support—perfect for people with dry or aging skin looking for a quick-refresh product that layers easily into a daily skincare routine. It appeals to users who prefer lightweight textures, enjoy vitamin C benefits in a gentler form, and appreciate a subtle citrus scent during application.
