Dealing with skin that feels tight, irritated, or dehydrated, especially in the Mauritian climate, can be frustrating. This lightweight gel-cream is designed to bring immediate comfort and lasting hydration without feeling heavy or sticky.

• Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, especially those with dehydrated, sensitive, or redness-prone skin. It's an excellent choice for oily and combination skin needing moisture without grease.
• What it does: Delivers a burst of hydration while soothing irritation and strengthening the skin's moisture barrier. The unique Hyalu-Cica formula helps calm skin stressed by sun, heat, and environmental factors.
• Texture & Finish: A light, almost watery gel-cream that absorbs quickly, leaving a smooth, non-sticky, and subtly dewy finish. Perfect for use under sunscreen and makeup.

Build a simple, effective routine in just one minute.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount of the Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Thicker Layer (PM): In the morning, always follow with sunscreen to protect your skin. At night, you can apply a slightly thicker layer if your skin feels extra dry.

Note: Already own a similar moisturizer? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount for lightweight hydration. Its texture may be sufficient for oily/combo skin in Mauritian humidity.
3. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. This is the most crucial step to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

Optional Additions:

• Hydrating Toner/Serum: If your skin is very dehydrated, apply a hydrating toner or serum (like the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Toner) before the cream.

Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between layers and at least 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based foam/gel cleanser).
2. THIS PRODUCT (Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount (or slightly more for deeper overnight hydration) to soothe and moisturize.
3. Occlusive (Optional): If your skin is very dry or you sleep in air conditioning, you can layer a sleeping pack over the cream 2-3 times a week.

Optional Additions:

• Targeted Serum: Apply any treatment serums (e.g., for exfoliation or anti-aging) before the cream. Rule of thumb: thinnest to thickest texture.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-size amount for the face, and an additional half-pea for the neck.
• Apply to: Face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Method: Smooth gently over the skin, then pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Use morning and evening for best results.

If-This / Then-That Tips:

• Very Oily Skin? Use a thin layer. In humid Mauritian summers, this might be all you need before sunscreen in the AM.
• Very Dry/AC Exposure? Layer it over a hydrating toner (like the matching Hyalu-Cica Toner) and consider adding a sleeping pack on top at night.
• Sensitive/Reactive? Start by using it only in your PM routine for the first week to ensure your skin adjusts well.
• Under Makeup? Apply a thin, even layer and wait 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying sunscreen or primer. This helps prevent pilling.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a burning rash or irritation occurs. Suitable for teens, but strong actives should be avoided unless guided by a clinician.

This is a gentle, daily-use cream that fits easily into any routine.

• Daily Use: Apply this cream every morning (AM) and every evening (PM) as your primary moisturizer.
• With Actives: It's an excellent "buffer" cream. If you use strong actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) at night, apply this cream afterwards to soothe the skin and support your moisture barrier.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → THIS PRODUCT
• Tue: Soothing Night (Hydrating Serum → THIS PRODUCT)
• Wed: Retinoid → THIS PRODUCT
• Thu: Soothing Night (Hydrating Serum → THIS PRODUCT)
• Fri: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → THIS PRODUCT
• Sat: Soothing Night (Hydrating Serum → THIS PRODUCT)
• Sun: Retinoid → THIS PRODUCT

Mauritius Note: On very hot and humid days, you might only need a very thin layer in the morning before your sunscreen.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, soothed, and cooled. The lightweight texture absorbs without stickiness, leaving a comfortable, smooth finish.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in redness and sensitivity. The skin's moisture barrier begins to strengthen, making it feel less tight and reactive.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin appears plumper, more balanced, and resilient. Dehydration-related fine lines look softened. The overall complexion looks healthier and more radiant.

Results are based on ingredient rationale. Consistent daily use, especially with sunscreen in the morning, is essential for achieving and maintaining results.

Why This, Not That...

• Myth: "Oily skin doesn't need a moisturizer."
  Reality: Oily skin can still be dehydrated (lacking water), which can cause it to produce even more oil to compensate. This lightweight gel-cream provides essential water-based hydration without adding grease, helping to balance oil production over time.
• Myth: "If my skin is irritated, I should just leave it alone."
  Reality: While avoiding harsh products is wise, providing active soothing and barrier support is better. Ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Hyaluronic Acid in this cream help calm inflammation and rebuild the skin's protective barrier, speeding up recovery.

• Works Well With: This is a versatile, gentle cream that pairs well with almost all active ingredients. It's excellent for layering over Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids, and exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) to provide soothing hydration and buffer potential irritation.
• Use with Caution: When layering multiple products, apply this cream as one of the final steps (before sunscreen in the AM). Applying too many thick layers quickly can sometimes lead to pilling; allow a minute for each product to absorb.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or infected skin.

• Excellent For: Combination, Oily, Dehydrated, Sensitive, Acne-Prone, Normal skin types.
• Good For: Dry skin, especially in humid weather or layered under a richer cream or oil.
• Caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, a patch test is always recommended. Its lightweight texture may not be sufficient for very dry skin in a dry, air-conditioned environment without additional hydrating layers.

Centella calms irritation and repairs the skin barrier, while multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid delivers moisture to different layers of the skin.
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten the skin, improve uneven skin tone, regulate oil production, and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient known for its anti-wrinkle benefits. It helps to energize the skin's surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Who should use with caution:

• While designed for sensitive skin, those with known allergies to specific botanical extracts should review the INCI list carefully.
• Its lightweight texture is generally non-comedogenic, but those prone to milia from richer textures should introduce it carefully.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, burning, or rash, do not use the product.
3. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with applying it to your face.

If Irritation Occurs: Stop using the product immediately. Cleanse the area with a gentle cleanser and apply a basic, soothing moisturizer. If irritation persists, please contact us or a healthcare professional.

• Texture: A very lightweight gel-cream. It feels watery and refreshing upon application.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly to a smooth, natural finish with a subtle, healthy glow. It is not greasy, sticky, or matte.
• Scent: Minimal to no scent. A very faint, clean aroma from the botanical extracts is detectable but fades instantly.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but formulated to be gentle and non-irritating.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Glyceryl Stearate and Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate which can be potential triggers for some individuals prone to fungal acne. A patch test is advised. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: The cream feels like it's pilling or rolling off.
  Solution: This usually happens from applying too much product or not allowing previous layers (like a serum) to absorb fully. Use a smaller, pea-sized amount and wait at least 60 seconds before applying sunscreen or makeup.
• Issue: My skin still feels a bit tight after using it.
  Solution: Your skin may be very dehydrated. Apply the cream to slightly damp skin to lock in more water. Also, consider layering a hydrating toner or essence underneath it for an extra boost of moisture.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a week.
  Solution: Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. While hydration is immediate, improvements in skin barrier strength and reduced redness take 2-4 weeks of consistent use. Stick with it and ensure you're using sunscreen every morning.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight gel-cream texture is perfect for Mauritius's hot and humid summers. It provides ample hydration without feeling heavy, sticky, or causing excess shine. For oily skin types, it can often serve as a one-step moisturizer before sunscreen in the AM.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: During the cooler, drier winter months or if you spend significant time in air-conditioned environments, you may need to layer it. Apply it over a hydrating toner or serum to boost moisture and ensure your skin stays comfortable all day.

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you the best of authentic K-Beauty. We carefully curate our selection, ensuring every product is 100% genuine and sourced directly from brands or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We believe in empowering you with truthful, beginner-friendly information to help you make mindful choices for your skin.

Is this cream suitable for oily, acne-prone skin?

Yes, its lightweight gel-cream texture provides hydration without being greasy or heavy, making it an excellent choice for oily and acne-prone skin types that are often dehydrated.

Will this cause milia around the eyes?

While it's a lightweight formula, any cream can potentially contribute to milia if applied too heavily around the delicate eye area. We recommend using a dedicated eye cream for that region, applying only a tiny amount (half a rice grain per eye).

Can I use this with my retinol or AHA/BHA serum?

Absolutely. This cream is perfect for use after strong actives. Its soothing and barrier-supporting ingredients can help reduce the potential for irritation and dryness from retinoids and exfoliants.

Is it moisturizing enough for very dry skin?

For very dry skin, especially in a dry environment, this cream may be best used as a hydrating layer underneath a richer, more occlusive cream or a few drops of facial oil to lock in the moisture.

Best For: Those seeking a lightweight, soothing moisturizer to combat dehydration, redness, and sensitivity without a heavy or greasy feel.

Key Benefits:

• Provides immediate and long-lasting hydration.
