PREP + ILLUMINATE gel moisturizer
Hydration that brightens and smooths pores.
Lightweight doesn't usually mean heavy-hitting. This gel moisturizer does both.
The PREP + ILLUMINATE gel moisturizer is a bouncy gel that melts into skin, locks in hydration and defends every layer. Our patented High-Pressure Processing (HPP) formulation method keeps the BioBerry Infusion™ bioactive antioxidants alive to deliver full-spectrum free radical defense at the cellular level while niacinamide smooths pores and licorice root visibly fades dark spots.
Skin feels impossibly light. The results are anything but.

• Instant hydration that lasts — skin feels soft, balanced, and dewy

Hppy skin gel moisturizer
"Perfect for oily skin — light, easy, and actually hydrating!” I have oily skin, so finding a moisturizer that doesn’t feel heavy or make me greasy is tough. Hppy Skin Gel Moisturizer is super lightweight, absorbs quickly, and feels amazing on my skin. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t clog my pores, and keeps my skin feeling fresh and hydrated all day. No stickiness, no shine — just balanced, happy skin. Definitely a new favorite in my routine!"
It was a complete change in my routine.
"It leaves skin soft, luminous, and ready for makeup. I loved the lightweight texture and how quickly it absorbs without feeling greasy. Ideal for a natural glow all day long. I would definitely use it again!"
THE BEST ALLY FOR YOUR SKIN
"I've been using this product for two weeks now, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. I suffer from dry, acne-prone skin, which is why I have very large pores. Using this gel, my skin looks more hydrated and has a better texture."
Skin prep
"I was honestly surprised by this product I used it to prep my face before my makeup first my skin was dull and when I applied this my skin was hydrated and had a nice glow to it will definitely recommend to anyone who looking for a nice glow"
Decent product
"I used the prep and illuminate product for 7 days. And these are my before and after photos. I honestly don't see much of a difference from day 1 to day 7. This a good morning moisturizer. It has a great light, silky texture. It feels cooling on the skin. It's not heavy or greasy. It has a bit of a clinical smell that I am not a fan of but it didn't bother too much. It kept my skin hydrated all day. Overall, I think it's a good product but I didn't notice anything special that would make it worth the price."
Amazing gel moisturizer
"A simple skincare step for anyone chasing glass skin. The smell is amazing and the texture is really light. It gives deep hydration without sticking, and most amazingly it is prepping the skin for that makeup routine."
Smooths my skin
"I really love this gel moisturizer, but this is not your typical moisturizer. This smooths my skin in a way that an exfoliating product might, but only better. I like this gel moisturizer as a base under my makeup look for the day. It is lightweight, absorbs nicely and gives my skin a nice glow. I have already seen my dark spots beginning to fade. My skin looks soft and smooth. This will most definitely be my go to moisturizer in the summer when the temperatures are so hot. I can leave my house without fear of my skincare melting off my face. This is really a great moisturizer for my skin!"
I like how makeup lays
"It took about three days for the pump to finally start working, which was a bit annoying at first—but I’m so glad I stuck with it! The formula is super lightweight and gives my skin a nice, hydrated feel without being greasy. What I really love is how nicely my makeup sits on top after using it—it goes on smoother and looks more natural"
Prep & Illuminate
"I have been using the prep & illuminate gel for the past 2 weeks and I love it! It’s so light weight, has the perfect consistency, and feels amazing on my skin! Definitely makes a huge difference as far as making you glow. It also smells so good and fresh. I’d love to try more of their products."
