HERBIVORE Tremella Silky Hydration Gel Cream — 50 mL Lightweight Hydrating Moisturizer with Squalane & Vegan Silk

HERBIVORE Tremella Silky Hydration Gel Cream is a lightweight, plant-based gel moisturizer that locks in hydration, smooths texture, and preps skin for makeup without heaviness.

This fast-absorbing gel cream uses tremella mushroom, vegan silk, and squalane to deliver long-lasting moisture while reinforcing the skin barrier. Formulated for everyday use, it offers deep hydration in a breathable, non-greasy finish and is suitable for anyone seeking a lightweight alternative to traditional creams. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and gluten.

How does this gel cream hydrate without feeling heavy?

The gel-cream texture combines water-loving humectants and lightweight emollients to draw moisture into the skin and seal it gently. Tremella acts like a natural hydrator, while squalane adds slip and replenishment without leaving a greasy film. The result is a silky, hydrated surface that still feels breathable.

• Tremella mushroom improves water retention for sustained hydration
• Glycerin and a vegan moisturizing complex pull moisture into skin layers
• Squalane smooths and softens without clogging pores

Can I use this under makeup and on oily or combination skin?

Yes — the lightweight, quick-absorbing formula creates a smooth, non-oily base ideal for primers and foundation. It helps minimize the appearance of pores and refines texture, making makeup sit more evenly. For oily and combination types, it provides hydration without excess shine when used sparingly.

• Fast absorption prevents pilling beneath makeup
• Helps blur pores and smooth uneven texture for better application
• Works well with oil-control routines when layered appropriately

What are the key ingredients and how do they support skin health?

The formula centers around tremella mushroom, vegan silk, squalane, and glycerin — each chosen for hydration and barrier support. Tremella and glycerin are humectants that attract and hold water; vegan silk lends a silky feel and smoothing effect; squalane replenishes lipids to strengthen the skin barrier. Together they hydrate, soften texture, and support healthy-looking skin.

• Tremella mushroom: natural hydration and moisture retention
• Vegan silk: smooths surface and improves application feel
• Squalane: lightweight lipid replacement for barrier resilience
• Glycerin & vegan moisturizing complex: boost and maintain moisture

How should I use this gel cream in my routine?

Apply a moderate amount to clean skin once daily, morning or night, after serums and before sunscreen or makeup. Gently massage until fully absorbed; a small pea-sized amount often suffices for normal to combination skin. Adjust quantity based on your skin’s hydration needs and layer with other treatments as desired.

• Use after cleansing and any water-based serums
• Layer under sunscreen in the morning and heavier oils at night if needed
• Reapply lightly if skin feels dry during the day

Who is this for: HERBIVORE Tremella Silky Hydration Gel Cream suits anyone seeking a lightweight, plant-forward moisturizer — especially those with normal, combination, or oil-prone skin who want deep hydration without weight. It’s also a good choice for people who prefer vegan, cruelty-free skincare and need a smooth, makeup-friendly base that supports the skin barrier and improves texture.
