Watermelon Superfood: The Science Behind the Glow — The Dr Botanicals Way
At Dr Botanicals, every formula starts with a simple belief: plants deliver powerful results when you use them intelligently. Our Watermelon Superfood range is a perfect example clean, vegan, and crafted to make skin look fresher, smoother, and naturally radiant.
Why Watermelon at Dr Botanicals
We work with watermelon seed oil because it’s ultra-light, fast-absorbing, and rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E. That means comfort for the skin barrier, antioxidant support against daily stressors, and a soft, non-greasy finish that suits every skin mood from dry to combination.
The Product: Watermelon Superfood 2-in-1 Cleanser & Makeup Remover
This is a cleanser that behaves like skincare. We pair AHA/BHA/PHA—Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic, and Gluconolactone with watermelon seed oil to lift away SPF, makeup, and impurities while gently refining texture. The acids smooth and decongest; the seed oil cushions the barrier so skin feels clean, never tight. The result is that fresh, “just-glossed” radiance Dr Botanicals is known for.
What You’ll Notice
Right away: makeup melts, pores look clearer, and skin feels balanced, not stripped. With routine use: texture looks more even, the look of blemishes is reduced, and your natural glow comes through.
How We Recommend Using It
Massage onto dry skin for about 60 seconds to dissolve daily build-up. Add water to emulsify, then rinse. Follow with your favourite Dr Botanicals serum and moisturiser; finish with SPF in the morning. If you’re new to acids, start a few times a week and build up as your skin acclimates.
Our Standard, Always
Vegan. Cruelty-free. Results-led. Inspired by our apothecary roots, every Dr Botanicals formula focuses on purposeful actives, gentle textures, and conscious choices, from ingredient selection to finish on the skin.
