About this product

HY-GEN BRONZE is a bronzing take on Natasha Denona's primer serum — a lightweight liquid with hyaluronic acid, peptides and humectants, carrying ultrafine reflective pigment. Use it as the last step of skincare for a sun-warmed finish, or as a primer under foundation. The brand claims moisture that lasts up to 72 hours alongside oil control through the T-zone.

Format Serum — dropper, used as serum or primer
Finish Tinted bronze glow, non-patchy
Hydroviton Hydration for up to 72 hours; longer term, supports the skin's water regulation
Symcontrol Reduces shine across the T-zone
Hydrogenated castor oil Part of the hydration blend, for a silky, supple feel
Formulated without Parabens · mineral oil — hypoallergenic, vegan, cruelty-free

What it actually does

  • Keeps water in the skin for up to three days, per the brand. Hydroviton is credited with both the immediate 72-hour hydration claim and a longer-term improvement in how skin manages its own moisture.
  • Balances the shiny zone. Symcontrol is included to keep the forehead, nose and chin from going slick.
  • Adds bronze, not makeup. The same ultrafine reflective pigments and skin-perfecting compounds from the original HY-GEN primer serum, reworked into a warmer, sun-kissed version.
  • Lays down evenly. Natasha Denona describes the blend as seamless and non-patchy, which matters for a tinted liquid.
  • Two jobs from one bottle. Worn alone it's a luminous skin step; worn under foundation it's a grip primer for longer wear.
  • Gentle formulation. The brand lists it as hypoallergenic and vegan.

How to use

  1. As a serum: three to four drops on a freshly cleansed face and neck, before moisturiser. Used daily, the brand says skin's appearance improves over time.
  2. As a primer: pat three to four drops gently into the skin and give it a moment to absorb before you apply foundation — that's where the blurred, bronze-lit, pore-refined finish comes from.
  3. For an even, bare look: wear it alone to smooth out tone — the brand pitches it as an ideal warm-weather primer.

Is it right for you?

Yes, if…

  • You want warmth and glow without a full base
  • Your T-zone gets shiny by midday
  • Your skin feels dehydrated and you want a hydrating primer
  • You like multi-use products that cross skincare and makeup
  • You want a vegan, hypoallergenic formula

Think twice if…

  • You want a completely untinted, colourless primer
  • You prefer a flat matte finish — this one is luminous
  • You're looking for coverage; this evens and warms, it doesn't conceal

Questions

Is it a serum or a primer?

Both — that's the point of the formula. Natasha Denona gives separate instructions for each use: before moisturiser as a skincare step, or patted on and absorbed as a base under foundation.

How is it different from the original HY-GEN Primer Serum?

The brand describes this as the bronzing reinvention of the original — the same skin-perfecting base and ultrafine reflective pigments, taken in a warmer, bronzed direction.

How many drops should I use?

Three to four drops, whichever way you're using it. As a serum, that covers face and neck; as a primer, pat them in and wait for full absorption before foundation.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Working days exclude weekends and public holidays.

How can I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. We don't offer cash on delivery.
