Key actives
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is the entry this gel cream is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it sixth on this gel cream's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. The panel names it twenty-first on this gel cream's list, beside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. It is named thirty-eighth on this gel cream's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Asiaticosideactive
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised. It is named thirty-ninth on this gel cream's list, alongside Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
How to use
- After serum, take a small amount of Matcha Biome Oil-Free Calming Gel Moisturizer 100ml and smooth it over the face and neck.
- Pat rather than rub if your skin runs oily, so it sets into a light film rather than a heavy one.
- Give it a minute to settle before sunscreen or makeup.
Where does this gel cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a gel cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all. We match this gel cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract?
Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Madecassoside. The order they are printed in on this gel cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid and Asiatic Acid.

How it works
The Matcha Biome Oil-Free Calming Gel Moisturizer is a 100ml gel cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Madecassoside, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cream Heimish sells in Korea, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the list.
- Introduce this gel cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract rather than to three changes at once.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
