About SUPER AQUA ULTRA HYALRON BALM CREAM ORIGINAL

Overview

SUPER AQUA ULTRA HYALRON BALM CREAM ORIGINAL is a lightweight cream from Missha, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 38 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Trehalose and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

What the formula does

Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Trehalose, Water and Caprylic/capric Triglyceride.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Adenosine, Glyceryl Glucoside and Xylitylglucoside.

Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Hydrogenated Lecithin and Ceramide NP.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Balanced 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.

What it does not target

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. 19 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.

What is not in it

It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

Where it fits in a routine

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.

Pros and cons

Drawn purely from the ingredient list

Pros

  • Strong humectant content for hydration

What is and is not in it

Part of this label has not been matched to our ingredient database, so only what is present is listed — no absence is claimed.

Contains

  • Fragrance

    Linalool, Limonene

  • Essential oils

    Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil, Linalool, Limonene

  • Silicones

    Caprylyl Methicone, Polymethylsilsesquioxane

  • Microplastics

    Polymethylsilsesquioxane

What to layer it with

Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.

Compatible with

  • Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
  • Retinoids (retinol, retinal)
  • AHAs (glycolic, lactic)
  • BHA (salicylic acid)
  • PHAs (gluconolactone)
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Azelaic acid
  • Copper peptides
  • Bakuchiol
  • Niacinamide
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Ceramides
  • Signal peptides
  • Panthenol
  • Sunscreen

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.

Where it fits in a routine

Morning Evening
  1. Cleanse
  2. Toning
  3. Treat
  4. Moisturise
  5. Protect

This product is the "Moisturise" step.

  • Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
6 ingredients could feed malassezia: Sucrose Polystearate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil, Sucrose Palmitate, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Glyceryl Caprylate. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
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.
Recorded ingredient risks
Allergen, Microplastic, Silicone, Synthetic polymer
