***Brand new and never been opened (still has seal), but it is too late for me to return/exchange. I have switched to a new skin care regimen, so I’m just trying to get back some of the money I spent on my product overstock. Per face reality: A water-based hydrating gel that contains antioxidant properties and can help reduce the appearance of oily shine. This hydrating gel can be used under Clearderma, Cran-Peptide Cream, or a sunscreen during the day. Because it is water-based, HydraBalance Gel can be safely used under Acne Med. It can also be used before and after a serum to provide extra hydration for dehydrated skin.
