Questions and answers
How well does DIME Dewy Day Cream work for oily skin?
This moisturizer works for oily skin, though other products fit it better because they manage shine while keeping a lightweight texture. It provides hydration and supports your skin barrier, but an ideal moisturizer for oily skin needs peptides and hydrating agents combined with the absence of heavy oils to prevent excess oiliness and breakouts.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?
This cream works for oily skin thanks to glycerin and mushroom extract, which provide hydration without directly addressing oily shine. Because it features heavier ingredients like shea butter and squalane rather than a lightweight texture, an oily skin type instead needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and peptides that control shine while keeping skin balanced.
What does Tremella Fuciformis Extract do for oily skin?
Tremella Fuciformis Extract helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy, as it draws moisture deep into the skin while remaining lightweight. It is unlikely to clog pores, making it a good choice for balancing moisture when your skin produces excess oil.
What does Rosa Canina Oil do for oily skin?
Rosa Canina Oil helps balance oily skin by providing lightweight moisture that absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or greasy. It helps keep your skin soft and smooth while supporting a clear, calm look.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This moisturizer goes after your hydrating toner and before your sunscreen in the morning, and after your treatment in the evening. It provides hydration and supports your skin barrier, but an oily skin type also needs ingredients that directly manage excess shine.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol by applying the retinol first and following with the moisturizer. This helps keep skin soft and reduces irritation while supporting your skin barrier.
How often should I use it?
You can use this moisturizer daily in your morning and evening routines to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Daily application helps maintain skin barrier function and improves overall moisture levels.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like glycerin and shea butter that help keep skin calm. However, because it features richer moisturizing ingredients like squalane and shea butter, it does not directly address oily shine.
Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizer around the eyes or on the body, as it has very good skin tolerance and safe ingredients that are unlikely to cause irritation. Oily skin around the eyes or body needs lightweight hydrators like glycerin and mushroom extract to add moisture without feeling heavy.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events.
Lasers in Medical Science, 2025Snow mushroom alcohol-based hand rub gel significantly improved skin moisture better than the placebo through 180 minutes while maintaining comparable antiseptic efficacy in 20 human volunteers.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Tremella fuciformis extract demonstrates potential cutaneous benefits including skin antiaging, photoprotection, wound healing, and barrier protection based on in vitro and animal models.
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2023Tremella fuciformis inhibits melanogenesis by decreasing melanin content and tyrosinase expression in B16F10 cells while promoting wound healing in human HaCaT keratinocytes and Detroit 551 fibroblasts.
In Vivo, 2022Topical treatments containing rosehip extract may reduce the size and erythema of postsurgical scars through macrophage polarization and inflammatory cytokine inhibition, though current clinical evidence remains insufficient to recommend its routine use.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024Sunflower and rosehip oil nanoemulsions prepared with a mix of phospholipids and synthetic emulsifiers permeated intact skin to the dermis and showed a more prominent healing effect in a human organotypic skin explant culture wound model compared to nanoemulsions prepared only with phospholipids.
Pharmaceutics, 2023A nanoemulsion containing 1 mg/mL kojic dipalmitate and 5% rosehip oil demonstrated high incorporation efficiency, suitable physicochemical stability, antioxidant and depigmenting efficacy close to 1 mM ascorbic acid, and no cytotoxicity at concentrations from 0.06% to 1% in vitro.
Pharmaceutics, 2023Squalane at 0.005-0.015% counteracts UVA-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen metabolism inhibition while stimulating fibroblast migration in human dermal fibroblasts.
Molecules, 2025Plant-derived squalane protected human dermal fibroblasts against UVA-induced damage by counteracting ROS formation, suppressing apoptosis-related proteins p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and PARP, and restoring the pro-survival p-Akt/mTOR pathway.
Antioxidants, 2025The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.

Why other moisturizers fit oily skin better
A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions.
