FAQ
All your frequently asked questions
What is the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream, a Korean face moisturiser?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream is a rich Korean moisturising cream for the face, neck and body. It combines lotus extract with the brand's "multi-barrier" technology to form a hydrating veil that wraps the skin. Its formula also brings together centella asiatica, Job's tears, marine PDRN (salmon-derived), niacinamide and adenosine, for soft, comfortable skin.
Is this cream designed for a particular skin type?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream product page does not specify a skin type. OHMIA presents it as a rich moisturising cream for the face and neck, which can also be applied to tight-feeling areas such as the elbows. It suits women and men alike. As with any new product, try it on a small area first if your skin reacts easily.
Neck, elbows: how do you use it on areas that feel tight?
On areas where the skin feels tight, such as the neck or elbows, OHMIA advises massaging in a suitable amount of OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream until absorbed. Its dense texture clings to the skin and forms a lasting hydrating veil. On the face and neck, apply a thin layer morning and evening as the last step. If discomfort persists, ask a dermatologist.
Measured results: what does the clinical study on this cream show?
According to a clinical application study by Intertek Testing Services Korea (report CRS-24-S0135-0561, January 2025, 21 participants), measurements taken immediately after the first application of the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream showed +12.44% skin hydration and −22.93% transepidermal water loss (TEWL). After two weeks, the appearance of wrinkles decreased by 18.79% on the forehead, 14.65% on the neck and 11.31% at the crow's feet. Results are temporary; individual results may vary.
How do you apply this cream to the face and neck?
Apply the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream as the last skincare step, morning and evening, after serum, oil or mask: smooth a thin layer over the face and neck to wrap the skin. Before makeup, a thin layer creates a hydrated, smooth-looking base.
Lotus extract: what role does it play in the formula?
Lotus extract is the signature ingredient of the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream. According to the brand, it helps balance the skin's moisture and oil and form a moisture-protective film. The formula contains 0.5% lotus seed extract (according to OHMIA), combined with the brand's "multi-barrier" technology.
What is marine PDRN, and how much does this cream contain?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream contains marine PDRN (salmon-derived), at 1,500 ppm according to OHMIA. PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) is a popular ingredient in Korean skincare, valued for supple, smoother-looking skin. In this cream, it complements lotus extract, niacinamide and adenosine. Because it is animal-derived, the cream is not suitable for a vegan routine.
Morning or evening: when should you apply it?
OHMIA recommends the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream morning and evening. In the evening, apply it as the last step of your routine to wrap the skin in a hydrating veil overnight. In the morning, a thin layer is enough, including under makeup, as it absorbs quickly without stickiness.
Where does it go in a Korean skincare routine?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream goes at the end of the routine: cleanser, toner, serum, optionally oil or mask, then the cream to seal everything in. It also works as a base before makeup. For the body, pair it with the OHMIA Red Bean range, applying it to areas of the body that need extra comfort, such as the neck or elbows.
Dull complexion: what do the 2% niacinamide and the adenosine do?
In the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream, niacinamide (2% according to OHMIA) helps give a more even, radiant-looking complexion. Combined with lasting hydration, it helps skin look fresher and more luminous. It is paired with adenosine: according to the brand, these two actives work with the formula's botanical extracts to support the skin's natural vitality.
Which plant extracts accompany the lotus?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream combines lotus extract with natural ingredients long used to soothe and hydrate the skin, such as centella asiatica and Job's tears (coix). According to the OHMIA ingredient list, the formula also contains green tea, liquorice, skullcap and barley. Together, they form a soft hydrating veil on the skin.
What is the texture like, and is it sticky?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream is described in three words: soft, hydrating, velvety. Its dense, balm-like texture clings to the skin for lasting hydration, then absorbs quickly without stickiness. The silica in the formula, according to OHMIA, contributes to its velvety finish. It therefore works as both a day and a night cream.
Does this cream contain fragrance?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream product page describes no scent notes. If you avoid fragrance or certain allergens, check the INCI list on the packaging before use.
Lotus cream or Red Bean Body Lotion: what's the difference?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream is a rich cream designed primarily for the face and neck, with lotus extract and marine PDRN. The Red Bean Body Lotion is a light, fragranced body lotion with red bean, caffeine, hyaluronic acid and peptides. The cream can complement the lotion on areas of the body that need extra comfort, such as the elbows.
Vegan routine: is this cream compatible?
No. The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream contains marine PDRN (salmon-derived), an animal-derived ingredient, so it is not suitable for a vegan routine. If you avoid animal-derived ingredients, check the INCI list on the packaging before buying.
Low-irritation test: what does OHMIA disclose?
A clinical application study by Intertek Testing Services Korea (report CRS-24-S0135-0561, January 2025, 21 participants) measured an irritation index of 0.00 with the OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream. Individual results may vary. As with any new product, try it on a small area of skin before first use.
Can it be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The OHMIA Lotus Multi Barrier Cream product page mentions no specific precaution for pregnancy or breastfeeding. As every pregnancy is different, show the INCI list on the packaging to a healthcare professional if you have any questions. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
