India’s only water-based face moisturizer with OptiMSM® designed to soothe and hydrate your skin without any greasiness. A water-light formula proven to reduce acne causing bacteria by up to ~98% without antibiotics.

Calms & Soothes Irritated Skin

- Keeps sensitive or reactive skin balanced and comfortable
Skin Clarity & Balance

- Hydrates acne-prone skin without clogging pores
Your Daily Hydration Step
- Start with a cleansed face and neck
- Take 1 to 2 pumps of the product
- Apply gently, covering the entire face and neck
Best Time To Use
- Morning (as needed): Use 15–20 minutes before applying sunscreen, especially in low-humidity or AC environments
- Evening (recommended): Use daily at bedtime, or alternate with repair serums like Re(d)covery or Retinolite for best results.
Unlike traditional moisturizers that rely on occlusives to trap moisture, OptiMIST WaterBody Aqua prioritizes functional hydration by working with the skin’s biology:
- OptiMSM® acts at the cellular level to reduce inflammation, accelerate wound healing, and restore compromised barriers, making it ideal for acne prone, irritated, or sensitive skin.
- Beet Extract, rich in natural humectants, enhances the skin’s water retention capacity for sustained hydration without heaviness.
This dermatologically aligned formulation respects the skin’s natural physiology, resulting in skin that feels calm, clear, and visibly healthier.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
OptiMSM® is a highly purified, premium grade form of Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a bioavailable sulphur compound known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin-repairing properties. Sourced and manufactured in the United States, OptiMSM® is GRAS-certified (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the US FDA and is supported by clinical research for safety and efficacy. Its inclusion in OptiMIST WaterBody Aqua supports skin barrier integrity, soothes irritation and promotes overall skin health.
-
Most moisturisers hydrate using oils or occlusives. WaterBody Aqua hydrates through a water-based system built around OptiMSM®. It is also clinically tested to reduce acne without an antibiotic.
-
Yes. It's non-comedogenic and non-occlusive by design, so it's formulated to go directly onto breakouts rather than carefully around them.
-
No, and that's the point. Many acne antibiotics are becoming less effective over time as bacteria grow resistant to them. WaterBody Aqua takes a different route: it reduces acne-causing bacteria without using an antibiotic at all, so there's no risk of adding to that resistance problem.
-
Yes, based on currently available data. You can also explore CHOSEN's pregnancy-safe and nursing-safe skincare section for more curated options.
-
No. It's a clear, fluid, fast-absorbing formula with zero greasiness, designed for oily and acne-prone skin, including in humid climates.
-
Hydration improves from the first use. Most users notice visible improvements in hydration, comfort, and texture within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use; timelines vary by skin type.
-
Yes. Apply WaterBody Aqua first and let it absorb for 15-20 minutes before applying sunscreen, so hydration doesn't affect sunscreen performance.
-
Yes, it can be used over acne spots 20-30 minutes after either Peptide Therapy Gel or Re(d)covery Serum. Avoid layering actives directly together; alternate by time of day or night instead.
-
Yes, immediately after. Its non-occlusive, water-based formula hydrates and soothes post-exfoliation without interfering with the peel's efficacy.
-
It can be used as a light hydrating base layer, but very dry skin that needs heavy occlusive moisturisation as a single step will typically need an additional emollient or occlusive moisturiser on top.
-
No. It's fragrance-free, making it suitable for sensitive or fragrance-intolerant skin.
-
In lab testing, we tracked how acne-causing bacteria reduced the longer the product stayed on skin, about 96% fewer bacteria at 20 minutes, and 98% at 60 minutes. Since you leave it on rather than rinse it off, you get that 20-minute benefit just by wearing it as part of your normal routine.
-
Yes, OptiMIST WaterBody Aqua can be used alongside Peptide Therapy Gel or Creme to support both hydration and skin rejuvenation. For best results, you can alternate their use on different evenings or nights, depending on your skin’s needs and tolerance. This approach helps maximise the benefits of both formulations without overloading the skin.
-
Yes, OptiMIST WaterBody Moisturiser can be used immediately after completing either the Light Routine or Milk Route DIY peels. Its non-occlusive, water-based formula helps hydrate and soothe the skin post-exfoliation without interfering with the efficacy of the peel.
-
It’s best to avoid layering active formulations together to ensure optimal efficacy. Instead, you can use OptiMIST WaterBody Aqua and Re(d)covery Serum at different times of the day, such as one in the evening and the other at night or on alternate nights. This approach allows each product to work effectively without interference.
-
Yes, OptiMIST WaterBody Aqua is compatible with SAFESCREEN range of sunscreens. For best results, apply the moisturizer first and allow it to absorb for 15 to 20 minutes before applying your sunscreen. This ensures optimal hydration without affecting sunscreen performance.
-
Yes, based on currently available data, OptiMIST WaterBody Aqua is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. You can also explore CHOSEN’s dedicated pregnancy-safe and nursing-safe skincare section for more curated options suited to this phase of life. Additionally, you can check the ingredients page to review the formulation and assess safety in detail.
