Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESIdeal match. Provides balanced hydration with a natural, semi-matte finish that keeps normal skin looking healthy all day.
Lightweight enough for oily zones while nourishing dry areas. Jojoba oil helps rebalance natural sebum production across face zones.
Absorbs without adding shine thanks to Geranium Blossom's sebum-normalizing flavonoids. Semi-matte finish is a plus. Use sparingly.
Provides solid hydration, but very dry skin may benefit from layering a richer moisturizer or facial oil on top, especially in winter.
Contains multiple essential oils and natural fragrance allergens (Linalool, Limonene, Geraniol). Patch test first. Aloe and Chamomile are soothing, but sensitized skin may react.
Low comedogenic rating (2/5) and non-greasy formula. Contains Willow Bark (natural BHA precursor). However, NOT suitable for fungal acne.

Frequently asked questions
FAQUse with caution. The formula does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. However, it does contain multiple essential oils (Geranium, Sweet Orange, Mandarin, Chamomile) and Salix Alba (White Willow) Bark Extract, which is a natural precursor to salicylic acid. While these are at low concentrations and generally considered low risk in topical skincare, we recommend consulting your OB-GYN or dermatologist before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
No, this product is not fungal acne safe. It contains several ingredients that can feed Malassezia yeast, including Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate (fatty acid esters), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (high in oleic acid), and Rosa Canina Fruit Oil. If you are prone to fungal acne, consider fragrance-free, fungal-acne-safe alternatives like The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.
Yes, this cream is compatible with most actives. It can be layered over retinol, vitamin C serums, AHAs, or BHAs as a hydrating and soothing step. The Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and plant oils can actually help buffer potential irritation from stronger actives. Apply actives first (wait 1–2 minutes), then follow with this cream. Note that the formula already contains trace amounts of Lactic Acid and Willow Bark Extract, but at concentrations too low to cause exfoliation conflicts.
This cream works best for normal, combination, and oily skin types thanks to its lightweight, non-greasy, semi-matte finish. It's also good for dry skin seeking daytime hydration, though very dry skin may want a richer cream on top. The brand markets it as suitable for all skin types. It's particularly loved by those with combination skin, as the Jojoba Oil helps rebalance sebum. Those with sensitive skin should patch test first due to the essential oil content.
You'll feel immediate hydration and smoothness from the first application. In an independent clinical trial with 120 participants, 98% reported smoother, more hydrated skin within 4 weeks of daily use. Visible improvements in skin radiance and texture typically appear within 2–4 weeks. Long-term barrier strengthening and improved skin conditioning become more noticeable after 6–8 weeks of consistent use.
Apply as Step 4 in your AM routine: after cleansing, toning, and applying water-based serums, but before eye cream and sunscreen. Its semi-matte finish also serves as a makeup primer, so you can skip a separate primer product. In the PM, apply after serums and before any heavier overnight treatments or facial oils if desired.
This cream has an overall comedogenic rating of 2 out of 5 (low). Most ingredients are non-comedogenic or very low on the scale. Sweet Almond Oil rates 2–3, but Camellia Oil (1), Jojoba Oil (1–2), and Glycerin (0) help keep the overall formula pore-friendly. It is specifically formulated to not leave residual oil or shine. In clinical testing, 95% of users reported no residual oil on the skin. However, individual reactions can vary — if you're highly acne-prone, patch test first.
The product has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal efficacy. The squeeze tube packaging minimizes air exposure and contamination, helping preserve the natural formula. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The 65ml tube typically lasts 2–3 months with daily use (applying a dime-sized amount each morning).
Verdict: Grown Alchemist Hydra-Repair Day Cream is a beautifully formulated, plant-powered daily moisturizer that excels at delivering lightweight hydration with a natural, semi-matte finish. Its standout feature is the dual-purpose formula that works as both a nourishing moisturizer and an effective makeup primer. The 94% natural, vegan, and certified toxic-free formula will appeal to clean beauty enthusiasts. However, the strong botanical fragrance from essential oils and the premium price point may not suit everyone. Not recommended for fungal acne sufferers or those with severe fragrance sensitivities.Best suited for normal-to-combination skin looking for a clean, elegant daily moisturizer that simplifies their morning routine.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
