Skin Type Compatibility
How well this product works for different skin types
Contains humectants (glycerin, sodium hyaluronate) and emollients (squalane, caprylic/capric triglyceride), but as a gel moisturizer, may not provide enough occlusive hydration for very dry skin types.
Lightweight gel texture and non-comedogenic emollients make it well-suited for oily skin, providing hydration without heaviness or excess oil.
Fragrance-free and includes soothing ingredients (bisabolol, squalane). However, presence of multiple ferment extracts may pose a low risk of irritation for highly sensitive individuals.
Balanced hydration from humectants and lightweight emollients suits both oily and dry areas, but may require layering with a heavier moisturizer on very dry patches.
Non-comedogenic ingredients and a gel base are generally safe for acne-prone skin. Ferments may benefit microbiome but could rarely trigger breakouts in very sensitive individuals.
Well-balanced formula provides sufficient hydration and barrier support for normal skin without risk of heaviness or irritation.
Seasonal Usage Recommendations
How to use this product throughout the year
Winter
Use as a lightweight layer under a richer cream or facial oil, as the gel texture may not provide enough occlusion for very dry, cold conditions. Apply to damp skin to maximize hydration and prevent transepidermal water loss.
Spring
Continue regular use; the probiotic and soothing ingredients can help calm skin during allergy season and fluctuating temperatures. Adjust amount as needed for changing humidity.
Summer
Ideal as a standalone moisturizer due to its lightweight, non-greasy gel texture. Helps hydrate without clogging pores in heat and humidity. Always follow with sunscreen during the day.
Fall
Maintain use to support skin barrier as temperatures drop and wind increases. Begin layering with a richer moisturizer or facial oil if skin starts feeling dry in preparation for winter.
Enhanced Usage Instructions
Detailed usage guidance for different skin concerns and best practices
Usage by Skin Concern
Dry Skin
Apply a generous layer (about a nickel-sized amount) to clean, slightly damp skin both morning and night. For extra hydration, layer over a hydrating serum or under a facial oil. Focus on drier areas and allow the product to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup.
Oily Skin
Use a pea-sized amount on clean, dry skin, focusing on oilier areas such as the T-zone. The lightweight gel texture is suitable for oily skin and will not clog pores. Apply once or twice daily as needed, and avoid over-application to prevent excess shine.
Sensitive Skin
Patch test before first use. Apply a thin, even layer (pea-sized amount) to clean, dry skin once daily, preferably at night for the first week. If well tolerated, increase to twice daily. The formula contains soothing bisabolol and probiotics to help calm sensitivity.
Combination Skin
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean skin, focusing on drier areas (cheeks) and using a lighter layer on oilier zones (forehead, nose, chin). Use morning and night. Adjust the amount as needed based on seasonal or hormonal skin changes.
Acne-Prone Skin
Use a thin layer (pea-sized amount) on clean, dry skin, focusing on areas prone to breakouts. The non-comedogenic, probiotic-rich formula can help support a balanced skin microbiome. Apply once or twice daily, and avoid layering with heavy occlusive products.
Usage Tips & Best Practices
Daily Use
Apply to clean skin every morning after cleansing and before sunscreen. Allow the moisturizer to absorb fully before layering additional products.
Night Use
Apply after cleansing and any serums as the last step in your nighttime routine. For enhanced hydration, layer over a hydrating serum or under a facial oil if desired.
Frequency
Use twice daily (morning and night) for best results. Sensitive skin types may start with once daily and increase as tolerated.
Amount
Use a pea-sized amount for oily, sensitive, or acne-prone skin; use a nickel-sized amount for dry or dehydrated skin.
Best Time
Best applied after cleansing and any treatment serums, both in the morning (before sunscreen) and at night (as the final step).
