Derm Picks: New Skincare I’m Loving Right Now | What’s Actually Worth It

"Even though it's a gel cream, it's just wonderful to go from spring into summer if you want really lightweight skin care. This by itself gives a nice little healthy glow but not like a greasy shiny look because it's just a Moisturizing Gel Cream. [...] It's simple but it's so nice on the skin and it's weightless. [...] Weightless hydration on the skin with protection, no makeup days. Obsessed with these and such a good price point which we love here on the budget derm channel."

"They've got some really nice products. A lot of them tend to be fragrance-free. [...] And this one sets to a really, I would say, more of a matte finish. So pretty nice moisturizer. So it does tend to be sticky though. That's the one thing I'll point out. It tends to set to a little bit of a tacky finish, but it's got ceramides, green tea, it's got fatty acids, it's got panthenol. It's really wonderful for 16 bucks. The packaging is great."

"Byoma does it again with their Moisturizing Gel Cream. It's lightweight, it's affordable, it's barrier supportive, and it's a great everyday option if you don't need much weight."

"Bioma Moisturizing Gel Cream has got ceramides and niacinamide in it. It's a light moisturizer, it's in cute packaging, and actually teens love it, so that's one as a parent I would purchase. [...] If you had to pick between Bioma and Bubbles, I'd probably pick Bioma."

BYOMA INVESTIGATION

"I like this product, it's a simple hydrating cream with niacinamide in it. [...] It's not revolutionary, it's a very simple formula, you could even look at CeraVe for example, it's got quite similar ingredients and similar feel, but I do like it and I would recommend it."

"It has tea leaf extract, which may offer some antioxidants, panthenol, the moisturizing B vitamin, and glycerin, a humectant. If you're looking for a fragrance-free facial moisturizer that won't feel greasy or heavy, but gets the job done for moisturizing the skin, there's nothing wrong with this. It's a great option. This is a particularly good facial moisturizer, I would say for someone maybe in their late teens, 20s, 30s."

"I have tried pretty much every product from the range and I really like a lot of them, I recommend them all the time on my channel. I'd say my favorite is probably the BYOMA Moisturizing Gel Cream, which is currently 20% off. [...] I typically use their gel moisturizer when I'm in a little bit more of a dry environment but I still want that invisible moisturizer feel on my skin. It does a great job of deeply moisturizing without looking too greasy."

"For La Mer's soft cream, which is a lighter weight one that works a little better for combination skin, a very similar consistency is the Bioma Moisturizing Gel Cream. That one is really lightweight as well, but does a good job of deeply moisturizing the skin."

"When I first applied it I thought it seemed a little heavy for my personal preference, [...] but as I continued wearing it throughout the day I found it sits really nicely on the skin and doesn't ever look excessively shiny, oily, or greasy. I'd say this one works if you're on the combination to dry side because of how deeply moisturizing it is. It's a really good product, very simple, affordable, I've been super impressed by this one."

"For me it would have to be their Moisturizing Gel Cream, first of all it just wasn't moisturizing enough for me, I have combination skin [...] and I found it felt like a serum more than a finishing product, [...] and secondly it didn't really work with any sunscreen, [...] out of the 20 sunscreens I tested with this every single one would peel with this moisturizer, but so many people love this moisturizer and I completely get why."

"Let's talk about the Moisturizing Gel Cream. I think this is a good option, but for my skin type and my preferences it's a little bit light. This does not mean it's a bad product, it just means it's not really designed with me in mind. It's perfectly named though, perfectly in between a gel and a cream, and I really think this would be ideal for normal to close to normal skin types."

"This right here is a Moisturizing Gel Cream. It's a tri ceramide complex with niacinamide, remember it's that B vitamin our body naturally makes, as well as that green tea antioxidant, and this is just a nice fluffy lightweight moisturizer. With one pump you're getting the perfect amount. It's a great choice, you get a lot for your money, you can get it at Target, and this is very similar to Drunk Elephant at a fraction of the price."

"The gel cream versus the rich one has niacinamide and [...] green tea. [...] It feels a lot softer than CeraVe on the skin because CeraVe once you rub it in it kind of like gums up or it feels like you have a dried skin, like it leaves a layer a dried layer on top. But this feels like it absorbed pretty well."

"The BYOMA Moisturizing Gel Cream, I've talked about this many times on my channel and this really is a perfect formulation for the summer months, but honestly this is great for all year round. It does have that nice moisture to it from that creaminess, but then of course that gel just creates more of that lightweight feel so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin whatsoever. It always pairs up nicely with all of my skincare products, including my sunscreen and of course my makeup."

IF I COULD ONLY PICK 1 PRODUCT FROM MY FAVORITE SKINCARE BRANDS | FYI...THIS WAS REALLY HARD!

"This formula is so lightweight but it's really moisturizing, perfect for all skin types. I do have combination skin for reference, and so when my skin is at its oiliest this is great, but also when my skin is dry and when it's flaky this also performs really well. This one actually reminds me of the CeraVe PM facial lotion where it has the same texture, but I feel like this is more moisturizing."

"Bioma has a gel moisturizer that is an adjunct [...] to their serum. Love this guy especially for summer when you do not need thicker creams. Gel creams are one of my favorites because they are the most versatile in terms of climate whether you are going from a dry climate to a humid climate, great if you need more you add a thicker one, if you need less you go lighter."

Let’s Get Intimate: Ceramides | Dr. Shereene Idriss

"Bioma retails for $14.99. Is it as good as the SkinCeuticals? No, it's definitely not as good, it's not as effective. However, they also have their triceramide complex [...] formulated with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in a different ratio. Their ceramides in here are ceramide NP and phytosphingosine which helps to support it. Ceramide NP is the water-loving one, so this is a very hydrating gel cream."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
