Omega Water Cream Oil-Free Moisturizer + Niacinamide

Oily and blemish-prone skin still needs hydration — it just needs it without oil. The INKEY List Omega Water Cream is a silky, oil-free gel moisturiser with 5% niacinamide that hydrates while it helps keep excess shine in check and pores looking smoother.

What it actually does

• Hydrates without oil. A water-based gel that the brand reports was clinically proven to raise skin hydration levels — 100% of its 4-week consumer trial of 22 people said skin felt deeply hydrated.
• Balances shine. 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3) visibly brightens while minimising the look of excess oil; the brand's trial also found it clinically shown to help balance oil.
• Evens tone and refines pores. It helps improve how pores look for a smoother, more even complexion — 95% of trial participants said their skin tone looked more even.
• Feeds the barrier. A 0.2% ceramide complex with omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids plus 3% betaine reinforces the skin barrier and ferries hydration in.
• Vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, recyclable packaging.

How to use

1. Use morning and night.
2. Squeeze a quarter-sized amount onto fingertips and massage over face and neck.
3. Mornings, finish with sunscreen.

Questions

Will it clog pores or feel greasy?

It's an oil-free, water-based gel designed specifically for oily and blemish-prone skin — light hydration without the slick finish of a traditional cream.

Can I layer it with a niacinamide serum?

It already carries 5% niacinamide, so for most people it replaces a separate niacinamide step. If you do layer, introduce them gradually and watch how your skin responds.
