What is it?
SOMI Gel is the gel-textured primer of Phyris AQUActive, a line built around hyaluronic acid and thermal water technology. In a facial, it plays the same opening role every time: applied right after cleansing, it prepares the skin so the rest of the AQUActive range can absorb and perform more effectively. SOMI Gel is a step, not a stand-alone moisturizer, which is why treatment rooms use it to open every AQUActive routine before moving on to serums and creams. This 200 ml size is the volume estheticians reach for across many client sessions.
Key benefits
- Preps skin for the rest of the facial: formulated so the AQUActive products applied afterward work more effectively.
- Delivers deep moisture first: liposomally encapsulated thermal water elements carry hydration into the skin as the opening step.
- Smooths on contact: hyaluronic acid forms a moisturizing film that leaves skin feeling smoother right away.
- Works for every client: the light gel texture layers easily under any Phyris moisturizer regardless of skin type.
Key ingredients
Sodium hyaluronate, a high-molecular form of hyaluronic acid, forms a moisturizing film on the skin’s surface for an instantly smoothing, hydrating effect. Thermal liposomes are lecithin-rich capsules carrying thermal water elements; their high phosphatidylcholine content lets them absorb into the skin easily, balancing mineral levels and leaving it feeling intensively moisturized. Glycerin and pentylene glycol add further humectant support, and the formula carries fragrance.
How to use
- Cleanse the client’s skin thoroughly.
- Smooth a hazelnut-sized amount of SOMI Gel over the face, neck and décolleté.
- Move immediately into the chosen AQUActive serum, gel or cream for a more effective result.
Who it is for
Treatment rooms running AQUActive facials regularly will get the most from this size, since SOMI Gel opens every session regardless of the client’s skin type. It is especially suited to estheticians treating dehydrated or thirsty-feeling skin.
