I’ve been diving deep into the world of skincare lately and discovered something super interesting. While we all know exfoliating and using anti-aging products are key to keeping our skin looking its best, there’s another vital player that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves: our skin barrier. Yep, this little barrier does so much more than we often realize. It’s like the skin’s own security system, helping to fend off issues like acne, dark spots, and wrinkles. And with the dry season approaching, keeping this barrier healthy becomes even more important!

So, I was excited when Scarlett recently dropped their new Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer. It’s exactly what my skin needs right now, especially to keep that barrier in check.
Let me walk you through my unboxing experience and share some details about this gem!
Unboxing Experience
Unboxing Scarlett’s Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer was a total treat. The packaging is adorable—think pretty pink box with cute details. And guess what? I even got a pink mug as a little bonus to remind me to stay hydrated. It’s a fun nudge to swap out my usual coffee for more water (which, let’s be honest, is probably a good idea!).

The Moisturizer: A Closer Look
Scarlett’s Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer is available in three fantastic versions, each designed to tackle different skin needs. Here’s the lowdown:
1. Hydra Boost
- Who’s it for? Dry or sensitive skin types.
- What does it do? Provides a serious hydration boost and makes your skin feel plump and refreshed almost immediately.
- Texture & Scent: it’s a slightly blue gel that feels soothing and absorbs quickly. It has a light Aloe Vera scent, which is quite refreshing. It’s a bit tacky at first but not sticky.
2. Glow Bright
- Who’s it for? All skin types, especially if you’re dealing with dullness.
- What does it do? Targets dark spots and dullness to give your skin a radiant glow. Expect to see noticeable results in about 2 weeks.
- Texture & Scent: this one’s a transparent gel, with a more jelly-like consistency. It hydrates well and has a pleasant scent. No pink tint here!
3. Acne Peace
- Who’s it for? Those struggling with acne or redness.
- What does it do? Helps calm redness and tackle breakouts. You’ll notice improvements in just 8 hours!
- Texture & Scent: the gel is a bit thicker and provides a cooling effect at first, though it fades over time. It’s been my go-to for battling breakouts, and the results are pretty impressive.
Packaging and Design

Each version of the moisturizer comes in a sleek 80ml bottle with a pump. The bottles are color-coded for easy identification: blue for Hydra Boost, pink for Glow Bright, and green for Acne Peace. They all feature a shiny silver pump and a clear cap, which adds a touch of elegance.
The boxes provide all the details you need, including instructions, key ingredients, and a full list of what’s inside. It’s a thoughtful touch that helps you make an informed choice.
What’s Inside?
Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients in each variant:
- Hydra Boost: D-Panthenol, 4D Hyaluronic Acid, Jeju Aloe, and Peptides.
- Glow Bright: Niacinamide, Peach Extract, SKINMIMICS®, and Calendula Extract.
- Acne Peace: Heartleaf, Encapsulated Salicylic Acid, Witch Hazel Extract, and Tea Tree Oil.
How to Use
For best results, apply the moisturizer twice a day—morning and night—after your serum. Just massage it gently into your clean, dry skin until it’s fully absorbed. Pair it with other Scarlett products for a complete skincare routine.
My Take on Each Variant

- Hydra Boost: This one’s great for adding moisture and improving skin elasticity. It’s perfect if your skin feels dry or tight. However, if you’re dealing with extremely dry patches, it might not be a miracle worker.
- Glow Bright: I’m really hopeful about this one. It’s supposed to brighten and enhance your glow, and while I’m still waiting to see the full effects, it’s definitely showing promise.
- Acne Peace: This has quickly become my favorite. It’s been amazing for calming breakouts and redness. The cooling sensation is a nice touch, though it does wear off after a bit.
You can snag the Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer in both 40ML and 80ML sizes. Just make sure you’re purchasing from a trusted source to get the real deal.
So, what do you think? Which version would you try first? 😊
