What is Phyris AQUActive SOMI Gel?
Phyris AQUActive SOMI Gel is the gel-textured active-ingredient primer from the Phyris AQUActive collection. This German professional skincare line centers on hyaluronic acid and thermal water technology. Phyris also describes the gel as the moisture booster for thirsty skin.
When applied right after cleansing, it opens the door to the rest of the AQUActive range. Its role is to prepare the skin so those products can absorb and perform more effectively. This 30 ml size comes as a compact retail pack. It suits travel, or trying the priming step before committing to the larger professional size.
Key benefits of Phyris AQUActive SOMI Gel
- Primes skin for better absorption: formulated so the AQUActive products applied afterward work more effectively.
- Deep moisture support: liposomally encapsulated thermal water elements are designed to carry hydration into the skin.
- Instant smoothing feel: hyaluronic acid forms a moisturizing film that leaves skin feeling smoother right away.
- Travel-friendly: the 30 ml tube fits carry-on liquid limits and also slips into a small bag.
Key ingredients
Sodium hyaluronate is a high-molecular form of hyaluronic acid. It 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. Because of their high phosphatidylcholine content, they absorb into the skin more easily. As a result, they balance the skin’s mineral levels and leave it feeling intensively moisturized.
Glycerin and pentylene glycol add further humectant support. Note that the formula contains fragrance.
How to use Phyris AQUActive SOMI Gel
- Cleanse the skin thoroughly.
- Then distribute a hazelnut-sized amount of SOMI Gel over the face, neck and décolleté.
- Finally, follow immediately with your chosen AQUActive serum, gel or cream for a more effective result.
Who it is for
Phyris recommends SOMI Gel for every skin type, since its role is preparation rather than treatment. This 30 ml size suits anyone who wants to try the AQUActive priming step or travels often. It also suits anyone who prefers to keep a backup tube alongside a larger jar at home.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 30 ml retail/travel size. The formula also comes in a 200 ml professional size with a lower cost per use. That size serves spas that use SOMI Gel as a preparatory step before every AQUActive facial treatment.
