Weightless Hydrating Serums

Tarte's Mermaid Skin Serum Instantly Refreshes Dry and Tired Skin

In time for the summer, Tarte added its Mermaid Skin Hyaluronic H20 Serum to its oceanic-inspired line of skincare and beauty products.

The ultra-lightweight serum can be applied to the face and neck morning and night, or anytime in the day that the user needs a little boost of hydration. As the formula is so lightweight, it doesn't cause the skin to feel heavy or greasy, making it ideal for the hot weather. Once the formula is applied, the skin is left with a plump and dewy finish, with key ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and marine plant extract helping to nourish the skin while providing an antioxidant defense.

Like other Tarte products, the Mermaid Skin Hyaluronic H20 Serum is dermatologist tested, oil-free, and completely vegan.
