IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst Peptide Gel — 2 fl oz, Lightweight Instant Hydration with Hyaluronic Acid

IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst is a lightweight peptide gel that transforms into micro-droplets on contact to deliver instant, drinkable hydration to the skin.

This hydrating gel from IMAGE Skincare’s VITAL C line blends stabilized vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidant-rich botanicals into a refreshing texture that breaks into water-like droplets when massaged into skin. Designed as a daily boost or on-the-go refresher, the formula aims to quench dryness, support surface smoothness, and leave a dewy, radiant look without heaviness or residue. It’s presented in a 2 fl oz treatment size appropriate for home use or travel.

How does the water-burst texture work for dry skin?

The gel-sphere formula liquefies into tiny droplets when you vigorously massage it, allowing active hydrators to contact the skin quickly. That immediate conversion increases spreadability and helps deliver moisture past the surface for an instant cooling effect.

• Gel-to-water activation on contact for fast absorption
• Hyaluronic acid helps attract and hold moisture
• Lightweight finish avoids greasy residue

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

IMAGE combines a stable vitamin C derivative, peptides, and hydrators to support brighter-looking, smoother skin. Each ingredient is selected to provide supportive benefits—hydration, antioxidant support, and a temporary smoothing effect—without strong claims beyond cosmetic improvement.

• Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate: a stable form of vitamin C for antioxidant support
• Hyaluronic acid: moisture-binding polymer to plump and soften skin surface
• Acetyl hexapeptide-8: peptide to help reduce the look of fine lines
• Orange peel oil and vitamin E: natural scent plus nourishing antioxidants

When and how should I use this for best results?

Use the Hydrating Water Burst in the morning and anytime during the day when skin feels parched or needs a freshness boost. Apply a small amount to clean or makeup-free areas and vigorously massage until the gel transforms into droplets, then pat or smooth evenly.

• Morning application to add a dewy boost under sunscreen or makeup
• Midday refresher for dry office or travel environments
• Gently massage to activate texture before spreading

Is this suitable for sensitive or mature skin?

The lightweight formula is formulated for all skin types, including mature and dry complexions; however, those with sensitive or reactive skin should patch-test first due to citrus-derived orange peel oil. The product focuses on hydration and surface smoothing rather than aggressive treatments.

• Recommended for dry and mature skin seeking extra moisture
• Patch-test if you have known sensitivity to citrus or fragrances
• Non-heavy texture works under routine serums and moisturizers

Who is this for: IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Water Burst suits anyone looking for an immediate, lightweight hydration boost that also delivers vitamin C support and peptides. It’s ideal for dry or mature skin types wanting a refreshing, non-greasy treatment to brighten and smooth the skin’s appearance, and for travelers or desk workers who need an on-the-go refresher. Those with highly reactive skin should test a small area before regular use.
