What is the difference between moisturizing cream and oil cream?

Moisturizing creams resolve inner dryness by supplying moisture (gel type), while oil-based creams (hydrating/nourishing creams) maintain hydration by preventing moisture evaporation with their oil components (cream type). For effective moisturization, oil-based creams are recommended for dry skin, moisturizing creams for oily skin, and for combination skin (oily T-zone, dry cheeks, oily cheeks), it is advisable to apply a thin layer of oil-based cream after the moisturizing cream.

1. Moisturizing Cream vs. Oil-based Cream (Hydrating Cream) Chai Moisturizing Cream: Main ingredients include hyaluronic acid and glycerin to replenish moisture. Its light gel texture makes it suitable for oily/combination skin. Oil-based/Hydrating Cream: Main ingredients include shea butter and oils. It forms a skin barrier to prevent moisture evaporation and is effective for dry skin and strengthening the skin barrier.
2. Effective Moisturizing Methods by Skin Type Dry Skin: Use a rich cream with high oil and water content to provide sufficient nutrition and hydration. Oily Skin: Use an oil-free or gel-type moisturizing cream to reduce sebum secretion while replenishing moisture. Dehydrated Oily Skin: Address inner dryness with a moisturizing cream, and finish by applying a small amount of oil-based cream to the surface.
3. Tip Layering to Enhance Moisturizing Effect: If dryness is severe, apply the moisturizing cream twice and allow it to absorb. Using Oil: Mixing 1-2 drops of oil, such as jojoba oil, into the moisturizing cream can strengthen the skin's moisture barrier. Amount to Apply: Use an appropriate amount, as applying too much can clog pores and cause breakouts. Application Order: It is recommended to apply the cream after lighter products such as toner and lotion.
