FAQs

CAN I USE OMEGA WATER CREAM DAILY? Yes. Use it AM and PM, every day.

CAN I LAYER IT WITH OTHER ACTIVES? Yes. Omega Water Cream plays well with all actives such as Retinol & AHAs. Layer freely.

CAN I USE IT WITH OTHER NIACINAMIDE PRODUCTS? You can—but start slow and patch test first to avoid overdoing it.

I USE CERAMIDE NIGHT TREATMENT. DO I NEED THIS TOO? They’re different. Use them together or alternate for full barrier support.

WHO IS THIS BEST FOR? Anyone. All skin types benefit—especially if hydration and barrier health are the goal.

WILL THIS MOISTURIZER MAKE MY OILY SKIN WORSE? No. This oil-free formula is clinically proven to help balance oil production, not increase it. 5% Niacinamide actively controls excess oil while Omega fatty acids support your skin barrier without adding grease.

IS THIS MOISTURIZER NON-COMEDOGENIC? Yes! Omega Water Cream is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores. It's specifically formulated for oily and breakout-prone skin to provide hydration without causing congestion.

WHAT IS BETAINE? A moisture-balancing molecule that helps skin hold onto hydration.

WHERE DOES BETAINE COME FROM? It’s derived from sugar beets.

WHAT ARE CERAMIDES? Lipids that strengthen your skin barrier and keep it resilient.

WHAT ARE OMEGA FATTY ACIDS? Essential nutrients that lock in hydration and reinforce your skin’s surface.

HOW MUCH NIACINAMIDE IS IN IT? 5%—a gold-standard concentration for oil control and tone improvement.

WHAT’S THE PH LEVEL? 5.0—skin-friendly and barrier-respecting.

HYDRATING VS MOISTURIZING—WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Hydrating = water. Moisturizing = oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water. Dry skin lacks oil. You may need both.

WHAT IS A WATER CREAM? A water cream is an oil-free, gel-textured moisturizer that delivers hydration through water-based ingredients rather than oils. It feels lightweight like water but provides the moisturizing benefits your skin needs - perfect for oily skin types.

DEHYDRATED SKIN VS DRY SKIN—WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Dehydrated skin lacks water—looks dull, feels tight. Dry skin lacks oil—feels rough or flaky. Not the same thing.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS? Give it up to 6 weeks. Skin needs time to turn over. Be consistent—don’t overuse.

IS IT VEGAN? Yes. Certified by The Vegan Society. No animal derivatives.

DOES IT CONTAIN ALCOHOL OR FRAGRANCE? No alcohol. No fragrance. No nonsense.

IS THIS SAFE FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING? Yes. Safe to use throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your guide to pregnancy safe skincare >

Love
I use this cream as my daytime moisturizer and I love that it does its job while being lightweight on my skin. I do mist my face with purified water first to help it apply and add in extra hydration. I have very sensitive skin and this works fantastically for me.
