If you've been using KrX AquaGel Cream since it changed names from Aqua Cream, there's another update worth knowing.
The name KrX AquaGel Cream is staying, but the product has returned to the simpler, original formula that made Aqua Cream a favorite in the first place.
So if you remember the original KrX Aqua Cream, or you've been searching for it by its old name, here's what you need to know.
From KrX Aqua Cream to AquaGel Cream
KrX Aqua Cream became KrX AquaGel Cream, a name that actually describes its unusual K-beauty texture beautifully.
It starts as a light cream, but as you massage it into the skin, it seems to turn into water. The texture feels exceptionally light and slightly cooling, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and fresh.
The AquaGel name stayed, but the formula has had another chapter.
The Original Aqua Cream Formula Is Back
For a period of time, AquaGel Cream was reformulated.
KrX has since returned AquaGel Cream to its original, simpler formula.
So if you used the original Aqua Cream and later tried AquaGel Cream and thought it seemed different, there was a reason. The formula had changed.
The AquaGel Cream available today brings back the original formula and the cream-to-water experience that made it such an interesting moisturizer in the first place.
What Makes the Original Formula Different?
Part of the appeal is its simplicity.
The original formula includes rice milk, calendula, panthenol, and lemon extract.
Rice milk helps soften and condition the skin, while calendula is known for its soothing properties. Panthenol, or provitamin B5, provides hydration and helps support the skin barrier.
Lemon extract complements AquaGel's place in the KrX Glow line, helping give skin a fresher, brighter appearance.
Combined with its slightly cooling, water-like feel, it's a refreshingly simple approach to hydration.
