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 testThis rich and silky cream features a Quad Ginseng Complex, delivering a powerful blend of antioxidants that leave skin smooth, soft and plump with moisture. Ginseng is a potent, age counteractive herb that restores bounce and suppleness to skin. Baobab, squalane and hyaluronic acid cocoon the face with lasting hydration that absorbs quickly, quenching skin in a dreamy, creamy, dewy glow.
Renewing Rich Beauty Cream is a cushioning cream from Then I Met You, a brand based in USA. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 57 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. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Butylene Glycol and Glycerin, 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 Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside and Niacinamide.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Squalane, Niacinamide, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter and Ceramide AS.
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 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 no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free, dye-free and no animal-derived ingredients. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and 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.
