What it is
A morning ritual built around skin's circadian rhythm. At dawn, skin calls for hydration and radiance and this duo delivers both. The Awakening Duo pairs Tranquillity Water Activating Mist's 72-hour hydration with Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum's 15% vitamin C, taking skin from dull to radiant in two steps. Two RAESO icons, working together as one ritual. Save 15% when you shop them together.
What it does
Tranquillity Mist goes on first, delivering long-lasting hydration through its Aqua-Dermal Encapsulation™ micro-droplets. This next-generation mist that stays active on skin for up to 72 hours rather than evaporating in minutes, priming skin to absorb everything that follows. Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum follows, layering 15% stabilised vitamin C (in two forms) with ferulic acid and vitamin E to protect against environmental stress, even tone, and visibly brighten. Together, they're like a wake-up call for the skin.
Who it's for
All skin types and ages looking for a bright, hydrated start to the day, especially skin that runs dry, dull, or has a compromised barrier and needs daily revitalisation alongside antioxidant protection. A good entry point for anyone new to RAESO's AM side of the ritual before committing to the full Circadian system.

Aqua-Dermal Encapsulation™
HOW IT WORKS
RAESO’s proprietary hydration delivery system encapsulates actives in phospholipids and sugar complexes to enhance penetration, stability, and bioavailability.
THE SYSTEM
Combined with moisture-locking humectants and electrolyte-rich volcanic thermal water, this system quenches, fortifies, and transforms the skin at a cellular level.
THE SKIN RESULT
Delivers hydration and actives into the skin with improved absorption, stability, and bioavailability.
"After having my children, I noticed increased pigmentation and uneven skin tone. With consistent use of this serum my skin appeared brighter, smoother and my pigmentation became less noticeable... I also found it helped give my face a healthy glow."
- kdon
"I use this product every morning after using Raeso's Tranquility mist which leaves my skin feeling so hydrated. I feel that since using these products a month ago my skin looks so glowy. Love this brand!"

A facial in a bottle (quite literally, skin looks and feels firmer in an instant,)... uncanny effort-per-result ratio of Tranquillity Water Activating Mist.
Ava Wardecki, The Urban list Contributor
The mist is really nice, you can actually see the difference in skin texture/bounce immediately.
Emily Algar, RUSSH Beauty Editor
This is the first product I’ve ever used from New Zealand brand Raaie, and it’s definitely not the last, I am obsessed. Described as a “next-generation essence-toner hybrid”, ultra-fine mist gave my skin an instant smack of hydration that was long-lasting and visibly brightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes to both. Morning Dew is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding skin, and Tranquillity Mist is gentle enough to use alongside actives like vitamin C and retinal daily. It's built to layer under your routine, not compete with it.
Mist onto cleansed skin, wait 60 seconds while it absorbs, then apply two pumps of Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum. Finish with SPF - the Mist creates a hydrated base that helps sunscreen sit comfortably on skin.
They're designed as one system, not two random products bundled for convenience. Tranquillity Mist is an essence-toner hybrid that boosts the efficacy of other formulas, such as Morning Dew Vitamin C, so buying them together isn't just cheaper, it's how they're meant to be used. Save 15% versus buying each alone.
Most mists evaporate from the skin almost immediately. Each micro-droplet of our mist locks in hydration for up to 72 hours.
It also functions also as a essence-toner hybrid, with moisture and actives delivered to the skin over time. The deep penetration of ingredients results in visibly brighter skin and a complexion refresh within seconds.
Aqua-Dermal Encapsulation™ is our first ever patented skin-technology. It works by suspending bioactives in phospholipid and sugar-complex structures to deliver moisture and actives deeper, more effectively, and over time.
We do everything we can to source materials that are both safe for the planet and safe for the person. We also ensure our ingredients are sustainably produced, have a low impact on the land, and are easily regenerated. For example, in marine algae harvesting, our suppliers follow Tikanga Māori - a strict, traditional harvesting practice of the indigenous people of New Zealand. By using this time proven approach, we harvest our ingredients without compromising our environmental and social responsibilities. This respectful approach means we can offer high potency natural bioactives whilst respecting the land and water that the ingredients came from.
