How it works
Combination and oily skin often chooses between a gel that feels weightless but does little, or a cream that hydrates but sits heavy under makeup. This one opens on water and propanediol, then lists Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract third, ahead of glycerin, panthenol, and allantoin. That order keeps the base cooling and light, with calming extracts layered in rather than oils up front. Repeated use leaves less residue than a heavier cream, which helps under sunscreen. Apply it as the last step, morning and night, on a clean face.
Key benefits
- Green tea leaf extract is the third ingredient on the list
- Panthenol and allantoin calm the feel of stressed skin
- Aloe ferox, moringa and lupin seed extracts round out the botanical cast
- A cool gel finish that suits oily and combination skin in warm weather

COSRX Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream
What is the Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream actually formulated to do?
This gel cream opens on water and propanediol, then lists Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract third, ahead of glycerin and a run of humectants like pentylene glycol. Panthenol and allantoin sit further down to round out a calming, water-forward texture rather than an oil-heavy one. The order points to a lightweight moisturizer built around a green tea extract base, meant to hydrate without leaving a heavy film.
Is this gel cream suitable for oily or reactive skin?
The list carries no fragrance, no essential oil, no added silicone, and no mineral oil, each one genuinely absent rather than just unmentioned. That combination suits oily, combination, and reactive skin looking for hydration without an occlusive after-feel. Anyone managing a diagnosed skin condition should still check the full ingredient list above against their own known triggers before switching products.
Will this gel cream work after one use, or does it take time?
A single application feels cooling right away, but the calming contribution from panthenol, allantoin, and the botanical extracts further down the list, moringa and lupin seed among them, builds with repeated application rather than showing up after one pass. Skin that runs consistently dehydrated or easily irritated tends to respond over weeks of steady use, not overnight. Applying it both morning and night matters more than any single tube.
Can I layer this under sunscreen or a brightening serum?
The formula is water-based and free of fragrance or added oils, which generally makes it easy to layer under other steps like sunscreen. This particular list does not include a vitamin C ingredient, so nothing here confirms how it behaves alongside one, and that depends on the other product's own formula rather than this one. Introduce any new pairing gradually and watch how skin responds over the first week or two.
How can I tell this is the real Korean-market Hydrium formula and not a US repackage?
The unit carries its Korean-market barcode intact, 8809598450622, unaltered from the box sold in Korea. COSRX runs its own verification rather than asking anyone to take a reseller's word for it: the batch number and expiration date printed on your box can be entered on COSRX's own verification page at cosrx.com. Reading those two numbers straight off your unit, not off anything printed here, is the actual check.

How to use
- Use the Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream as the last skincare step, morning and evening.
- A pea-sized amount smoothed thinly over the face, then tapped in with fingertips.
- It goes over serum, and sunscreen follows it in the morning.
- Twice a day. Do not reach for a thicker cream on a hot day; a gel cream is the version of this step built for one.

Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
