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.

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 MOISTURISING—WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Hydrating = water. Moisturising = oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water. Dry skin lacks oil. You may need both.

WHAT IS A WATER CREAM? A water-based, oil-free moisturizer with a gel texture. Delivers hydration without heaviness.

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.

Great product on its own but not hydrating/moisturizing enough for my skin needs.
I took the skin quiz and I ordered and have been using all the products in it - Oat Cleansing Balm, Hyaluronic Acid Cleanser, PHA Toner, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, this cream, and the Caffeine Eye Cream. I have not had any reactions to the omega water cream with my sensitive skin. It is not oily, and it provides mild-moderate moisturization. However, each day in the AM and PM I have put on extra moisturizer because my skin still feels tight. I do think it is better suited for combo or oily skin.

My Favorite Moisturizer!!
I've loved using this moisturizer. I actually got put on Inkey list by chance and tried this cream with my routine for 1 month — by the end I was in love. It's so moisturizing, light, and refreshing —and even though I've always been prone to oily skin, it doesn't make me look greasy.

Great for hotter weather
Great for summer because it king of melts into water as you work it in, a little too light for colder months I like to follow up with a bit of heavier cream sometimes
