Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream

Hydrium Green Tea Aqua Soothing Gel Cream is COSRX's answer to skin that feels hot, flushed and irritated. It's a jelly-textured, oil-free moisturiser that drops a wave of water onto the skin, sinks in quickly and leaves a fresh rather than tacky finish.

What it actually does

• Cools skin down. COSRX frames this as relief for heated, angry skin — the gel format carries that cooling sensation on contact.
• Saturates skin with moisture. The brand describes immediate hydration rather than a slow build.
• Calms and soothes. Listed benefits centre on settling irritation and visible redness.
• Disappears fast. The jelly consistency is designed for rapid absorption, so there's no heavy layer sitting on top.
• Non-oily finish. Useful if conventional creams leave you shiny within the hour.

How to use

1. Cleanse and tone first. This goes on prepped skin, not bare skin straight from the tap.
2. Apply a sensible amount across the face. Steer clear of the eye area and around the mouth.
3. Tap it in. Press gently with fingertips so it settles into the skin instead of sitting on the surface.

Questions

Is this enough moisturiser on its own?

For oily and combination skin, usually yes — it's a full moisturiser step, just in gel form. Drier skin types may want to layer it over a richer cream or use it only in the morning.

Will it work under makeup?

The fast-absorbing, non-oily finish makes it a practical base layer. Let it settle for a minute before you apply SPF and foundation.

Can I use it after sun exposure?

COSRX positions it for skin that feels heated and irritated, so it suits a post-sun evening routine. It isn't a treatment for sunburn — for that, see a pharmacist or doctor.
