Take the skin testExperience the ultimate hydration with Heimish Matcha Biome Intensive Repair Cream. This lightweight, hypoallergenic moisturizer is perfect for sensitive and dry skin, formulated with 50% fermented Matcha water packed with probiotics for superior absorption and deep hydration. Infused with soothing extracts of licorice, cica, chamomile, and rosemary, it strengthens the skin barrier while leaving no greasy residue.
Matcha Biome Intensive Repair Cream is a cushioning cream from Heimish, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 58 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Butylene Glycol and Panthenol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol and Sodium Hyaluronate.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Antioxidant support: Moderate. Ingredients that mop up free radicals from UV and pollution, and here that comes from Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Niacinamide and Panthenol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily 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 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, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
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.

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.
This product is the "Moisturise" step.
