Dealing with skin that feels tight and irritated, yet looks oily in Mauritius' humid climate can be frustrating.

If your skin often feels sensitive, red, or tight, yet can also feel oily on the surface, finding the right moisturiser is a challenge. This cream is designed for you.

• Who it's for: Best for combination, dehydrated, sensitive, or irritation-prone skin. Oily skin types may find it suitable, especially if their barrier is compromised.
• What it does: Delivers a cooling burst of hydration, soothes redness and sensitivity, and helps repair a weakened moisture barrier.
• Texture: A unique, airy sherbet-like cream that transforms into a watery, lightweight feel upon application. Absorbs quickly with no sticky residue.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. ARENCIA Deep Water Surge Soothing Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM): Always protect your skin during the day.

Note: If you already have a moisturiser you're using, finish it first before starting a new one. Substitute, don’t stack, to avoid waste and see true results.

Minimalist Routine (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. ARENCIA Deep Water Surge Soothing Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount for all-day hydration and soothing.
3. Sunscreen SPF 30+: The most crucial step to protect your skin and prevent damage.

Optional Additions: If you're targeting dark spots, a Vitamin C or Niacinamide serum can be used before the cream. Wait 30-60 seconds for it to absorb.

Minimalist Routine (2-3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen. Start with an oil cleanser, then follow with a water-based one.
2. ARENCIA Deep Water Surge Soothing Cream: Apply to replenish moisture and calm your skin overnight. You can apply a thicker layer to use it as a sleeping mask for intensive repair.
3. Targeted Serum (Optional): Apply any treatment serums (like for acne or anti-aging) before the cream.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Add a little more for the neck.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening, as the last step of your skincare routine (before sunscreen in the AM).
• Method: Scoop a small amount, warm it slightly between your fingertips, and gently massage it into your skin until absorbed.
• As a Sleeping Pack: For an intensive soothing treatment, apply a thicker layer before bed 2-3 times a week.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels extra irritated or sun-exposed: Apply a generous layer and let it act as a calming mask for 10-15 minutes before massaging in the excess.
• If you have a very oily T-zone: Use a smaller amount in that area. The lightweight texture should not feel heavy.
• If your skin is very dry or exposed to AC: Layer this cream over a hydrating toner or serum to lock in more moisture.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation or rash occurs. Patch testing before first use is recommended.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, soothed, and hydrated. The sherbet-like texture provides a refreshing sensation, and surface tightness is relieved.
• 2-4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in redness and sensitivity. Skin's moisture barrier begins to feel stronger and more resilient. Dehydration-related oiliness may start to balance out.
• 4-8+ weeks: Skin appears calmer, plumper, and more evenly toned. The barrier-strengthening effects of ceramides and peptides contribute to healthier, less reactive skin over the long term.

Myth: "If my skin is oily and I live in a humid place like Mauritius, I should skip moisturiser to avoid breakouts."

Truth: Oily skin can still be dehydrated (lacking water), especially if you use stripping cleansers. Dehydration can cause your skin to produce even more oil to compensate. This cream provides lightweight, water-based hydration that balances the skin without clogging pores, helping to break the cycle of dehydration and excess oiliness. A healthy moisture barrier is essential for all skin types.

• Works Well With: Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Retinoids (can help buffer potential irritation), and other gentle hydrating or brightening ingredients. Its soothing properties make it an excellent partner for potentially irritating actives.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts are known. As it is a moisturiser, it should be applied after thinner serums and before sunscreen.
• Avoid On: Do not apply on open wounds or severely broken skin without consulting a doctor.

• Ideal For: Combination, Dehydrated, Sensitive, Normal skin types.
• Good For: Oily skin (especially if dehydrated or using drying acne treatments), Dry skin (as a lightweight hydrator, may need layering in drier conditions).
• Caution: While formulated to be gentle, those with extreme sensitivities should always patch-test first.

• Dehydration and surface dryness
• Redness and sensitivity
• Compromised or weakened skin barrier
• Skin irritation from environmental stressors (sun, pollution) or strong actives
• Dullness and lack of vitality

2. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The formula does not contain ingredients typically contraindicated during pregnancy (like high-strength retinoids). However, it is always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.

• Texture: A unique bouncy, sherbet-like or sorbet-like gel-cream.
• Finish: Melts into a watery texture upon application, absorbing quickly to leave a hydrated, dewy, non-sticky finish.
• Scent: Minimal to no scent.
• pH: Not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Jojoba Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, and Glyceryl Stearate, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne. If you are prone to FA, patch testing is strongly advised.

• Issue: It feels hydrating at first but my skin feels a bit dry later.
  Solution: This can happen in very dry air (like strong AC). The cream is rich in humectants which draw moisture. Layer it over a damp face or a hydrating toner, and if you are very dry, you can seal it with a tiny drop of facial oil at night.
• Issue: The texture feels a bit different from other creams.
  Solution: That's the unique sherbet-like formula! It's designed to be lightweight. Instead of rubbing, try gently patting it into the skin to help it melt and absorb.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for Mauritius' hot and humid summers. It provides ample hydration to combat dehydration from heat and sweat, without feeling heavy or clogging pores. Its cooling sensation is an added bonus.
• Drier Winter/Indoors (AC): During the milder, drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, your skin may need more moisture. This cream layers beautifully over hydrating essences or serums to provide that extra boost of hydration needed to combat the dry air.

• "I have a very oily and acne prone skin and usually most moistures don't work for me but this one was gentle and non greasy." - StyleKorean customer review (2025-09)
• "I got this for my face initially, but my hands were extremely dry and bleeding... I put this on my hands... and it melts into a water-like feeling. I actually cried real tears because it fixed my hands and took the pain away within minutes." - Paraphrased from a StyleKorean review (2025-09)
• A user on Hwahae with combination, sensitive skin noted that while the cream is wonderfully hydrating and absorbs well, it wasn't quite moisturizing enough on its own during seasonal changes and recommended layering it with a light cream for extra hydration. (Hwahae review, 2025-09)
• "The silicone-like texture makes me wonder if applying it generously might actually block my skin... this texture could be a bit of a hurdle for some." - Hwahae customer review (2025-09)
