A refreshing gel-cream that delivers a wave of moisture without weight, making it an ideal choice for Mauritius's warm and humid climate. Formulated with 60% deep sea water, it helps to balance the skin's oil and water levels, leaving it feeling plump and hydrated without any greasy residue.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling like your skin is both oily on the surface but tight underneath is a common challenge in our tropical weather. This lightweight gel-cream is designed to solve that exact problem.
- Texture: A light, satin-like gel-cream that absorbs quickly.
- Finish: Dewy and fresh, without a greasy or sticky feel.
- Best For: Oily, Combination, and Normal skin types. Also suitable for sensitive skin that needs hydration without heaviness.
- Core Benefit: Deeply hydrates and helps balance oil production, leaving skin plump and comfortable.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Wash your face to create a clean base.
- THIS PRODUCT (Hydro Wave Deep Sea Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Thicker Cream (PM, if needed): Seal in the hydration and protect your skin.
Note: Already own a similar moisturizer? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Minimalist Routine (3 steps):
- Cleanser: Start with a gentle face wash.
- THIS PRODUCT (Hydro Wave Deep Sea Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount for lightweight hydration. Its quick absorption makes it an excellent base under makeup.
- Sunscreen SPF 30+: Always finish with sun protection. This cream layers well under sunscreen without pilling.
Wait Times: Allow the cream to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist Routine (3 steps):
- Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based cleanser).
- Targeted Serum (Optional): Apply a serum for your specific concerns (e.g., for dark spots or barrier repair).
- THIS PRODUCT (Hydro Wave Deep Sea Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount to lock in moisture. If your skin feels extra dry from air-conditioning, you can apply a slightly thicker layer.
Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM/PM:
- Amount: A pea-size for the face; add a half-pea for the neck.
- Apply to: Freshly cleansed and toned skin.
- Method: Smooth gently over the face and neck, then pat lightly to help absorption.
- Frequency: Use morning and evening as your daily moisturizer.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very oily T-zone? This cream's lightweight texture is ideal. It hydrates without adding grease.
- Skin feels tight from AC? Layer this cream over a hydrating toner or serum to boost moisture.
- Under makeup? This cream works well as a primer. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying makeup to prevent pilling.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Patch test before first use.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
- Daily Use: Use this cream AM and PM as the moisturizer step in your routine.
- With Actives: This cream is an excellent, soothing moisturizer to use on nights when you apply exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids. Its barrier-supporting ingredients can help reduce potential irritation.
Example Week (PM Focus):
- Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) -> THIS PRODUCT
- Tue: Hydrating Serum -> THIS PRODUCT
- Wed: Retinoid -> THIS PRODUCT
- Thu: Hydrating Serum -> THIS PRODUCT
- Fri: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) -> THIS PRODUCT
- Sat: Hydrating Serum -> THIS PRODUCT
- Sun: Retinoid -> THIS PRODUCT
Rule: Always use one strong active per night. Do not use strong retinoids and strong acids on the same night.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, refreshed, and soothed. The finish is dewy but not greasy.
- 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, skin's oil-water balance may improve. You might notice less midday shine and a reduction in tightness or dehydration.
- 4–8+ weeks: The skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. The inclusion of Niacinamide may contribute to a brighter, more even-toned complexion.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Myth: "My skin is oily, so I don't need a moisturizer, especially in Mauritius's humidity."
Why this cream is a better choice: Oily skin can often be dehydrated, meaning it lacks water, not oil. Skipping moisturizer can cause your skin to produce even more oil to compensate. A lightweight gel-cream like this one provides essential water-based hydration without clogging pores or adding grease, helping to balance your skin's oil production over time for a more comfortable, less shiny complexion.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Retinoids, Hyaluronic Acid, AHA/BHA exfoliants. Its soothing and hydrating formula makes it a great buffer for stronger active ingredients.
- Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. As it's a moisturizer, always apply it after thinner serums and before sunscreen.
- Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or irritated skin without patch testing first.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Excellent for: Oily, Combination, Normal Skin.
- Good for: Sensitive Skin (it is formulated without artificial fragrance or essential oils).
- Use with caution: Very dry skin types might find this too lightweight for their nighttime routine, unless layered over richer serums or oils.

Issue: Skin still feels a bit tight after application.
Quick Fix: Your skin may be very dehydrated. Try applying the cream onto slightly damp skin after your toner or serum to lock in more water. At night, you can layer a drop of facial oil on top. -
Issue: A few small bumps appeared after starting.
Quick Fix: Check the ingredient list for potential fungal acne triggers if you are prone to it. Otherwise, ensure you are cleansing thoroughly at night to remove all sunscreen and impurities.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: This cream's light gel texture is perfect for the hot and sticky season. It provides enough hydration to prevent dehydration from sweat and sun exposure without feeling heavy or greasy. For oily skin types, it can serve as a standalone moisturizer in the AM.
- Drier Winter/AC Exposure: During the slightly drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may want to layer this cream. Apply it after a hydrating essence or serum to boost its moisturizing power.
