Magic potions are not required to make it watertight!
But
it is not vapour tight
Damp proof membranes will be required to make concrete vapour

Multiple protection
Cement types: IIB (CEM I + 25% -35% fly ash) or III (CEM I
+ 36% - 65% ggbs)

250mm of well compacted concrete should be water resistant
