(Healthy) Skin is always in and should be considered your best friend. From oily and dry to super sensitive and irritated – troubled skin has a big impact on our quality of life and is proven to affect our mood. Below, we give you 3 basic rules to get you through the many questions.
Rule 1: Know the difference
What distinguishes a gel from a cream? Absorption and texture are two important keywords. Transparent and watery in their appearance, gels are typically more water-based and rather oil-free, which allows the skin to absorb them way quicker than a cream. Creams are thicker and take longer to get absorbed — some actually just lie on the skin's surface. Despite their differences, there's one main difference that sets them apart: texture.
A gel formula will offer an oil-free hydration boost — especially for combination and oily skin types, and in hotter months. Creams will, in most cases, be richer in their formulations — meaning they're more ideal for drier skin types.
Rule 2: Know where to look
Normal skin
Elastic, even-toned, small pores, and balanced. Go for: A cream or gel that soaks in quickly. Our Daily Hydra Cream is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins to boost the skin's hydration, with barrier-strengthening antioxidants.
Sensitive skin
Should be really cared for. Easily irritated and inflamed. Go for: Our Daily Hydra Cream Sensitive delivers intense hydration from a gentle, fragrance-free formula. Add our Vitamin Face Oil to encapsulate all the enrichment of your supplementary products.
Dry skin
Dull, tight, and flaky. Go for: Our Ultra-Rich Cream Soaks your skin in antioxidative and collagen-stimulating ingredinets, providing optimal care and protection. If your skin is craving extra hydration, use our Intense Hydra Serum as an extra base before applying the moisturizer.
Combination skin
Oily in T-zone, dry on cheeks. Go for: Our Daily Hydra Cream Sensitive — A balancing moisturizer with soothing and protective ingredients that promote softer and visibly healthier skin. Combine it with our Intense Hydra Serum in the dry areas for optimal result.
Oily skin
Tends to clog pores due to high sebum production. Go for: Our water-based 24-Hour Hydra Gel delivers instant and intense hydration with a matte finish. If your skin is prone to blemishes and breakouts, our Blemish Control Clarifying Gel ideal as it contains ingredients like SeboClear™️ and Actibiome that balance the skin’s microbiome, supporting beneficial bacteria and reducing harmful ones, which helps calm redness and irritation often associated with pimples.
Rule 3: There's no right or wrong
Our 24-Hour Hydra Gel, Blemish Control Clarifying Gel, Ultra-Rich Cream, Daily Hydra Cream and Daily Hydra Cream Sensitive are remedies you can count on — packed with effective, natural, and organic ingredients. Regardless of your skin type, moisturizing should be a consistent step in your daily skincare routine. And there's no right or wrong as long as you're mindful of ingredient lists.
Psst: Store your face gel in the fridge — not only will you receive the normal skincare benefits, but it'll also serve as a cool treat for your skin.
