Helps maintain microbiome diversity, supports lipid synthesis of the chemical barrier and reinforces the physical barrier’s intercellular cement.
- Triple DNA — Super hydrating and capable of retaining 10,000 times its weight in water, salmon DNA is a signature Valmont ingredient that supports the skin’s anti-aging functions.
- Shea butter — Intensely nourishes the skin by providing unique plant molecules with regenerative properties.

Safety Information
For external use only, on the face and neck. Warm a small amount between the fingers and press it in, keeping it outside the orbital ring; flush the eye with water if any cream reaches it. The formula is scented and contains sandalwood oil, so try it on a small area first if your skin is easily provoked, and stop using it if redness or itching appears. Scoop it out with clean, dry fingers or a spatula, close the jar firmly and keep it somewhere cool and dark rather than on a sunny bathroom shelf.
Not recommended for:
- Anyone sensitive to sandalwood oil or to the fragrance allergens named on the current pack.
- Skin that has just been peeled, waxed or exposed to strong sun — let it calm down first.
- The eye contour, where Hydra3 Contour is the intended gel.
- Skin that reads as oily and congested rather than thirsty; a lighter Hydra3 texture will feel better.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it too rich for combination skin?
It is a high-emollience texture built for skin that feels tight and thirsty. If you want water without the richness, Hydra3 Booster on its own, or a lighter cream such as Hydra3 Regenetic Cream, is the more comfortable choice.
What does the 72-hour figure mean in practice?
Valmont measures skin hydration three days after a single application. In everyday use the cream is still meant to be applied morning and/or evening.
Do I have to use the Booster underneath?
No, but Valmont designed the two to work as a pair: the serum delivers the hyaluronic acid duo and the cream holds it in.
How is it different from Hydra3 Mask?
The cream is the daily leave-on step. The mask is a thicker 20-minute treatment used once or twice a week and then rinsed off.
