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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say this moisturizer feels remarkably lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. Many reviews highlight its non-greasy formula that leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. The cream works particularly well for those with oily or combination skin, with users noting its perfect consistency for summer use and under makeup. While most find it provides excellent hydration, some mention it's too light for their preferences. Frequent comments address its smooth application and dewy finish. The texture receives consistent praise for being silky and water-like, though a few users note it could be too light for winter months.
