Description
The Matcha Biome Oil-Free Calming Gel from HEIMISH is a lightweight gel moisturizer designed especially for skin that’s oily, combination, or feeling irritated/imbalanced. It features a “Matcha Biome” complex — rich in green-tea (Camellia Sinensis) leaf extract plus probiotic/ferment technology — along with niacinamide and centella-derived soothing agents to calm redness, support the skin barrier, and hydrate without heaviness.
The product is marketed as oil-free, alcohol-free, fragrance/essential-oil-free (in key respects) and free from a range of common irritants — making it well-suited for sensitive or breakout-prone skin trying to rebalance
Size: 100ML
Skin Type
Combination to oily skin — since the “oil-free” gel format targets hydration without heavy emollients, helping skin that may feel shiny or prone to breakouts.
Skin with signs of irritation, redness, mild barrier stress — the calming/soothing focus helps support such conditions.
Normal skin that reacts to heavier creams and prefers a lighter finish.
Skin that uses active treatments (e.g., exfoliants, acne care) and needs a hydrating “restorative” step.
Key Benefits
Calms irritation and redness — Thanks to the green-tea leaf extract (Matcha) and probiotic ferment components, the gel helps soothe visibly irritated skin and support barrier recovery.
Hydrates without heaviness or grease — The gel texture and oil-free formulation mean you get moisture without the weight, suitable for zone-specific layering or oily skin.
Strengthens skin barrier & supports elasticity — With niacinamide and centella-derived actives, the product helps bolster barrier lipids and skin resilience.
Simplified, gentle formula — The absence of alcohol, fragrance/essential oils and heavy oils reduces risk of irritation — helpful for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
Versatile everyday use — Works as a stand-alone moisturizer in a lighter routine, or atop a serum in more intensive routines.
Key Ingredients
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract — rich in polyphenols, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; supports calming and barrier health.
Niacinamide — multi-functional vitamin B3 derivative: supports barrier lipids, improves tone/texture, controls oil/sebum in some contexts.
Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract / Madecassoside / Asiaticoside — soothing, barrier-repair-oriented botanical actives.
Humectants & lightweight emollients (e.g., glycerin, butylene glycol, hydrogenated polydecene) — provide hydration and skin comfort without heavy occlusion

How to use
After cleansing and toning: Use a hydrating toner/essence (especially important given your barrier) and then apply this gel as your moisturizer (or lighter layer in your moisturizer step).
Application amount: Use about pea-to-nickel size amount (depending on face size) and apply evenly across face and neck (if desired).
Gently massage or pat in until absorbed — the gel will feel lightweight and should absorb fairly quickly.
Follow with additional barrier cream if needed: Because your barrier is flaky/dry, you may layer a richer cream after this gel on your driest zones (cheeks/jawline) to lock in nourishment.
Usage frequency: Use daily (morning &/or evening) or as your main moisturizer. On days when your skin feels particularly stressed, you may rely on this gel in the evening to calm and hydrate, then use a richer treatment in the morning.
Layering tip for your skin condition: If you use active treatments (e.g., acne serums, exfoliants), on nights you use those actives you may pair them with this gel afterwards to calm the skin. On non-active nights, you may layer this gel + richer cream for recovery.
Storage/Use note: Ensure you keep the tube/jar tightly closed to preserve the ferment/active accuracy, especially since you mentioned your barrier is compromised and your skin may react to degradation.
