What ingredients are in BYOMA moisturizers?

Which BYOMA moisturizer do you mean?

The Gel Cream is the lighter option and the Rich Cream is the richer one, a rare moment when skincare names do some useful work. Choose Gel Cream if you prefer less weight, particularly in warmer weather; choose Rich Cream if your skin needs a richer texture, particularly in colder weather.5

What is in the Rich Cream?

Rich Cream combines ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids in BYOMA's Tri Ceramide Complex to support the skin barrier. The barrier is the skin's outer protective layer. The formula also includes olive oil, licorice extract and vitamin E alongside its glycerin, shea butter and bakuchiol. It is fragrance free and is designed to improve hydration immediately while leaving skin soft. Rich Cream appears in the National Eczema Association's Seal of Acceptance directory. If you have sensitive skin or eczema, check for ingredients you already know irritate your skin or trigger an allergy before choosing it.26

What is in the Gel Cream?

Niacinamide and green tea are the Gel Cream's highlighted ingredients. The formula is designed to increase hydration, visibly brighten skin and support the skin barrier. These highlights are not a complete ingredient list: check the full list on your bottle if you are screening for a particular ingredient. Its lightweight texture is intended for oily or breakout prone skin, as well as anyone who prefers a lighter moisturizer.15

How do you apply Gel Cream or Rich Cream?

1. 1Start with cleansed skin.
2. 2Apply your serum first if you use one; BYOMA places its Hydrating Serum before moisturizer.
3. 3Apply a pea sized amount of Gel Cream or Rich Cream and smooth it over skin until absorbed.

Use either face cream morning and night. BYOMA offers these as alternative moisturizing steps, so the routine does not require both creams; the two names are not a compulsory double booking.15

Does the blemish moisturizer contain salicylic acid?

Yes. UK Blemish Control Moisturiser contains salicylic acid to exfoliate and help clear pores, plus bakuchiol and BYOMA's Clearamide Complex. Its formula also lists glycerin, witch hazel water, ceramide NP and cetearyl alcohol. BYOMA directs you to apply one to two pumps after serum, morning and night, then follow with sunscreen in the morning.3

US Acne Control Moisturizer is an acne treatment containing 1.5% salicylic acid. Follow its own directions: cleanse, then apply a thin layer across the affected area, starting once daily. Increase only if needed or directed by a doctor. Reduce to once daily or every other day if bothersome dryness or peeling develops. Using another topical acne medicine at the same time increases the likelihood of dryness and irritation. Stop use and ask a doctor if irritation occurs or worsens.4

What about Sensitive Skin Body Lotion?

Sensitive Skin Body Lotion is a separate fragrance free formula featuring oat, shea butter and BYOMA's Tri Ceramide Complex. It also contains glycerin and squalane, ingredients BYOMA uses for hydration and reducing water loss. The lotion is designed for very dry skin. Apply as needed, massage until absorbed and use it as the final step of your body routine.56
