Super Saturated
Not hydrated, saturated. Super Saturated is a barrier support serum with 30% glycerin– aka your skin’s fave hydrator. At higher percentages glycerin goes beyond hydration to unlock its unique barrier replenishing and soothing properties. This one-of-a-kind saturating blue goo also has multi-molecular weight humectants like polyglutamic acid, and super soothers like bisabolol, prickly pear extract, and niacinamide to keep irritation at bay. Super Saturated is clinically proven to increase skin's resilience and natural hydration overtime.
As Your Main Serum
On clean, damp skin, apply 1-2 pumps. Follow with your favorite moisturizer or oil to lock in the hydration. You can use Super Saturated AM and PM.
As a Mask Treatment
Use 3-4 pumps on clean, damp skin and layer Avant Guard on top for a deeply hydrating treatment. When you're done masking, tap in any excess serum and continue with your routine.
As a Humectant Booster
Sometimes your usual skincare routine needs superpowers. Add humectant goodness with 1 pump of Super Saturated in your favorite hydrating serums for boosted barrier support and hydration.
30% GLYCERIN
The gold standard for hydration, glycerin immediately increases the water content of the skin, while also enhancing it's ability to retain moisture long term. In concentrations above 25%, glycerin gains a few superpowers beyond hydration like replenishing the skin barrier and shielding skin from irritation.
POLYGLUTAMIC ACID
While glycerin does all the hard work within the skin, high molecular weight PGA delivers hydration to the surface, for a plump and dewy appearance.
BISABOLOL
Bisabolol is the active ingredient in Chamomile - and just like Sleepytime Tea, it's extremely soothing for the skin.
PRICKLY PEAR EXTRACT
Derived from those pretty cactus fruits, Prickly Pear is a moisture-binding extract that keeps skin calm and protected against irritating ingredients.
NIACINAMIDE
Basically, Vitamin B3. When used at 2%, like in Super Saturated, it helps improve skin barrier function and increase skin’s resilience to irritation.
ALLANTOIN
This classic ingredient helps speed up the recovery of stressed out skin. Who doesn’t need that these days…

— By offering a refill (no pump version), we’ve decreased this product’s waste by 32%* and emissions by 29%*
— The lightweight product design avoids up to 58% of waste and 23% of emissions compared to a typical serum.
Is Super Saturated vegan?
Yep! This delicious blue goo is vegan and does not contain any animal derived ingredients.
Is this product lightweight?
We call Super Saturated our “heavy weight champ” for a reason! Formulated for those looking for more from their hydrating serums, Super Saturated is a concentrated product with high levels of humectants. This means it has a richer texture, and a little goes a long way.
Hot chemist tip: You can mix Super Saturated into your lighter weight serums, or apply on damp/wet skin, to thin out the texture a bit without compromising on efficacy. It’s (almost) like two serum textures for the price of one… what a deal!
Can I use this product under Avant Guard?
Hell yes! We formulated this serum to give you the juiciest, most deeply hydrating masking experience possible.

INSTANT SATURATION: 96% immediate increase in skin hydration
LONG LASTING HYDRATION: 32% increase in skin's natural hydration after 4 weeks
Why Glycerin?
In the eyes of chemists and dermatologists alike, glycerin is the G.O.A.T. for skin hydration. Glycerin is in many products already, usually at low concentrations of 5% or less, but at concentrations above 25%, glycerin transforms into a powerful barrier replenishing and soothing superstar!
my favorite summer serum...
9 Days Ago
my favorite summer serum changed my texture and brightness after 2 days!!! the first night i wore as a mask, then 1 pump before moisturizer in my daily routine; after 2 days my texture was fuller and softer. this is a miracle serum and i will shout it from the rooftop.
Helped restore my barrier!!
38 Days Ago
This has helped my barrier sooo much already (I've only been using it a week) while on tretinoin. Normally I wake up with super irritated skin to the point where I have to reduce the amount of times I use tret per week, but this soothes my skin so much that I can finally use tret every night! Seriously such a game-changer!
Leaves tiny pinhead pimples the next day
7 Days Ago
I have wanted to like this so bad but no matter how I try to use it, the next day I always wake up with tiny pinhead pimples all over my forehead and a few on my cheeks. It doesn’t matter if I use it by itself, with the rubber mask, with a moisturizer, or any other step in my skincare routine. I have tried this during different times of the year because the texture and the initial application feels great but the next morning it always leaves crazy tiny texture even if I use it sparingly. I have sensitive combo skin that is break out free and has clear skin tone so this product gives me issues I don’t typically have. I also don’t have issues with any similar types of textures/comparable ingredients.
