Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testExperience deep, long-lasting hydration with Biodance Skin-Glow Essence Cream, a rich yet featherlight moisturizer powered by 10 layers of hyaluronic acid and 5 layers of ceramides. Designed to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier and lock in moisture, this cream is infused with a probiotics complex to support a healthy microbiome and defend against external irritants. Its silky, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it ideal for both day and night use, while delivering an immediate dewy glow that enhances your skin’s natural radiance. Hypoallergenic and free from irritants and harmful ingredients, it’s safe for even the most sensitive skin types.
Skin-Glow Essence Cream is a lightweight cream from Biodance, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 47 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Panthenol and Betaine, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Betaine and Sodium Hyaluronate.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Isononyl Isononanoate, Panthenol, Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Panthenol, Hydrogenated Lecithin and Ceramide NP.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Tocopherol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
