BEFORE
DEEP DRENCH MOISTURIZER
AFTER 24 HOURS
DEEP DRENCH MOISTURIZER
Delivers 24 hours of long-lasting hydration after just 1 use
Draws water into the skin for immediate hydration, so skin feels immediately quenched.
Bonds with skin to hold onto moisture, keeping hydration locked in for hours.
Soothes and supports the skin barrier so it can better retain moisture over time.
YOUR SKIN ISN'T TOO OILY TO HYDRATE
OILY DOESN'T MEAN HYDRATED
Deep Drench Moisturizer is clinically proven to hydrate & strengthen the skin barrier.
-
THEORY:
People with acne should use oil-free moisturizers
REALITY:
Oil was never the problem. Certain pore-clogging ingredients are, and Deep Drench is formulated without them.
-
THEORY:
Acne-prone skin should stick to gel and water creams.
REALITY:
Often not hydrating enough and evaporates quickly. Deep Drench's cushion-weight texture actually lasts, without feeling heavy or greasy.
-
THEORY:
Moisturizing increases the risk of breakouts.
REALITY:
Acne-prone skin, even if oilier, suffers from chronic dehydration. Not moisturizing can make the skin more prone to breakouts.
Founder's Story
Frustration fuelled founder Roz Sammini to create award-winning products designed for acne-prone skin.
How to use
DRENCH THE DROUGHT, DAILY.
Cleanse
Gel cleansers, micellar water, makeup wipes, etc. Take it all off and start with a clean base.
TREAT
Apply any treatments like Blemish Control & Exfoliating Serum or Dark Spot Milky Serum.
HYDRATE
Apply 2-3 pumps all over the face and neck in an upwards motion. Be sure to follow with an acne-safe SPF in the morning.
SPOT TREATMENT
Apply Sulfur Spot Treatment after using Deep Drench Moisturizer at night.
Don’t do this:
Don't skip it on oily or breakout-prone days. Even oily, acne-prone skin runs chronically dehydrated — and skipping hydration is what leaves it tight, reactive, and even more oily.
Deep Drench delivers deep, lasting hydration in a cushion-weight texture, which means you can hydrate without the heavy, greasy feel.
Clinical Results
Clinically tested on acne-prone skin for 4 weeks.
28 days on acne-prone facial skin, verified across all six Fitzpatrick skin tones.
Hydration but also acne-safe?
The Case for Deep Drench
Acne-prone skin is chronically dehydrated, especially when you're layering on drying actives like benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and exfoliants. Deep Drench rebuilds that lost hydration with three key ingredients:
- Sodium PCA draws water into the skin for immediate hydration.
- Saccharide isomerate binds water to skin for long-lasting hydration.
- Beta-glucan helps calm skin, support the barrier, and reduce moisture loss over time.
The result is lightweight hydration that stays put without feeling greasy, heavy, or oily throughout the day.
The Hero Ingredients
- Sodium PCA
- Saccharide
Isomerate - Beta-Glucan

Why it's different
MOISTURIZER, done right.
Deep Drench delivers immediate and lasting hydration and supports the skin barrier without clogging pores.
DEEP DRENCH MOISTURIZERResults based on independent third-party clinical testing on acne-prone skin across all six Fitzpatrick skin types. "Other acne-safe moisturizers" refers to moisturizers commonly marketed to acne-prone skin, including gel creams, water creams, and oil-free/mattifying formulas. Comparison reflects typical formulations in the category; individual products vary.
FAQs
How does Deep Drench compare to other moisturizers?
Most moisturizers designed for acne-prone skin are lightweight gel or water creams, that can feel hydrating once applied, but wear off after a few hours. Deep Drench is designed to be lightweight, but formulated with ingredients that attract, bind, and retain water in the skin so your skin stays hydrated— clinically shown to immediately boost hydration by up to 46%, and provide lasting hydration for up to 24 hours after just 1 use.
How does Deep Drench support my skin barrier?
Deep Drench helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss so skin can stay hydrated for longer. In an independent clinical study, 97% of participants showed improved barrier function after just one use.
I have oily skin — do I actually need a moisturizer?
Oily skin is usually dehydrated skin — and skipping moisturizer makes it worse. Deep Drench hydrates without adding grease or shine, and 97% of panelists agreed it absorbed without feeling greasy or heavy.
Will it feel greasy or heavy?
Nope! The cushion-weight texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin dewy, not shiny — 97% of panelists confirmed it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy on application.
Can I use it with retinoids or exfoliants?
Yes — Deep Drench has no actives that conflict with retinoids, exfoliants or other acne treatments. Apply it last in your routine to seal in hydration and support your barrier while your treatments work. In the AM, be sure to follow with an acne-safe SPF.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. It’s clinically tested on sensitive skin and acne-prone skin — and 100% of panelists agreed skin didn't sting, burn, or itch on application.
How long until I see real results?
Immediately — 100% of panelists saw increased hydration after one use.
How will I know this won’t break me out?
Like all banu formulas, Deep Drench is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, and non-acnegenic, meaning it won’t cause new breakouts. These claims are supported by independent clinical testing on people with acne-prone skin over 30 days, with participants’ skin evaluated by an expert grader.
