Silk & Glow K Cream | Natural Rice Water & Niacinamide Moisturiser

Korean-inspired · Small-batch Berkshire

The Silk & Glow K Cream by Audere Pure is a lightweight daily moisturiser that does something most creams don't — it uses rice water instead of plain water as its base. That one swap makes a real difference. Rice water is rich in amino acids and B vitamins, and a controlled study found it improved skin hydration by 111% compared to plain water after just one hour. That's the foundation everything else is built on.

On top of that base sits niacinamide — the gold-standard ingredient for evening the look of skin tone and minimising the appearance of pores — paired with liquorice root extract for gentle, visible brightening over time. It suits every skin type, including oily and combination. It works morning and night. And the scent is sweet orange, neroli, lemon and ginger — real essential oils, each one named on the label, never hidden behind 'parfum'. £26.00.

Every ingredient, explained

Nineteen ingredients — every one named and chosen for a reason, in the same order they appear on the label. Swipe through.

  • Water

    (Aqua)

    The base of the cream and its single biggest ingredient by weight — here it's partly replaced by rice water (below) rather than left as plain water, which is what makes this a true rice-water cream rather than a rice-scented one.

  • Rice Water

    (Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract)

    The K-beauty hallmark this cream is built around. Traditionally used in Korean skincare for centuries, it's brewed in-house rather than bought pre-made, and adds lightweight, lasting hydration in place of some of the plain water.

  • Olive-Derived Emulsifier

    (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate)

    A gentle, olive-derived emulsifier that's what actually lets the water and oil phases blend into a smooth, stable cream instead of separating. Naturally derived and well tolerated, including by sensitive skin.

  • Fractionated Coconut Oil

    (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride)

    A light, fast-absorbing oil that carries hydration into the skin without any greasy after-feel, which is part of why this cream stays silky rather than heavy.

  • Glycerin

    (Glycerin)

    A classic humectant that draws moisture in and holds onto it, keeping skin comfortably hydrated hour to hour.

  • Niacinamide

    (Niacinamide)

    The headline active. Niacinamide supports the look of an even skin barrier, helps minimise the appearance of pores and evens the look of skin tone with regular use — well tolerated enough for daily, twice-a-day use.

  • Cetearyl Alcohol

    (Cetearyl Alcohol)

    A fatty alcohol (not the drying kind found in some toners) that thickens the cream and helps it glide on smoothly, while also supporting the skin's own barrier.

  • Shea Butter

    (Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter)

    A rich, nourishing butter that softens and conditions, adding just enough body to the cream without weighing it down.

  • Panthenol

    (Panthenol)

    Pro-vitamin B5, added to soothe and comfort skin and to help it hold onto moisture — a good partner for niacinamide on skin that's easily upset.

  • Sodium Lactate

    (Sodium Lactate)

    A naturally-derived humectant, part of skin's own moisturising factor, that helps the cream hydrate deeply and keeps it feeling comfortable rather than tight.

  • Preservative Blend

    (Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Sorbic Acid)

    A broad-spectrum preservative system that keeps the cream safe to use for its full shelf life. Because this cream contains water, a preservative is essential — without one, it simply couldn't be sold safely.

  • Rice Bran Oil

    (Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil)

    A second nod to the cream's rice-water base — a light, fast-absorbing oil that adds nourishment and helps keep the finish silky rather than greasy.

  • Sweet Orange

    (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil)

    A named essential oil, never ‘parfum’ — the first of four that give the Silk & Glow its bright, uplifting scent. Sweet orange brings the warm, citrus top note.

  • Liquorice Root Extract

    (Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract)

    A gentle botanical brightener that works alongside niacinamide to even the look of skin tone over time — the pairing behind this cream's brightening reputation.

  • Allantoin

    (Allantoin)

    A gentle, soothing conditioning agent that calms and comforts, rounding out the cream's soothing profile alongside panthenol.

  • Neroli

    (Citrus Aurantium Amara (Neroli) Flower Oil)

    A named essential oil, never ‘parfum’ — neroli adds a soft, floral depth that lifts the citrus top note into something more complex.

  • Lemon

    (Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil)

    A named essential oil, never ‘parfum’ — lemon sharpens the citrus character and keeps the overall scent feeling fresh rather than sweet.

  • Vitamin E

    (Tocopherol)

    A natural antioxidant added to help protect the cream's oils from breaking down, keeping the formula stable for longer.

  • Ginger

    (Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil)

    A named essential oil, never ‘parfum’ — ginger adds a warm, spiced base note that grounds the citrus and floral oils above it.

  • Allergen Declarations

    (Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Geraniol)

    These four are naturally occurring in the essential oil blend above — not separately added. UK/EU rules require them to be named individually once they cross a certain level, so we list them here in full, and they're bolded on the physical label too.

Your questions, answered

  • What is a "K cream", and what does the Silk & Glow actually do for your skin?

    Silk & Glow K Cream is a lightweight daily moisturiser that hydrates, brightens and evens skin tone — using rice water as its base instead of plain water, combined with niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for clinically supported brightening.

    A K cream is built the K-beauty (Korean skincare) way — hydration-first and gentle. In plain terms: it hydrates and leaves skin looking smoother and more glowy, without heaviness or irritation.

  • Is this a good natural niacinamide cream for uneven skin tone and dark spots?

    Yes — the Silk & Glow K Cream combines niacinamide (Vitamin B3) with liquorice root extract, two ingredients with clinical evidence for visibly reducing hyperpigmentation over time.

    Niacinamide is the gold-standard ingredient for evening the look of skin tone and minimising the appearance of pores, and here it's paired with liquorice root extract — so the two work together to visibly even tone. Every ingredient is named on the label, with no 'parfum'.

  • Can I use niacinamide every day, morning and night?

    Yes. Niacinamide is one of the most well-tolerated skincare actives and is designed for daily use — morning and evening, without causing sensitivity or sun-reactive effects.

    It plays nicely with most other ingredients and works well under SPF in the morning and as your last hydrating step at night.

  • Is it suitable for sensitive skin, or will niacinamide sting?

    Yes. The Silk & Glow K Cream is formulated with allantoin and panthenol specifically to soothe sensitive skin, and niacinamide is one of the gentler brightening actives available.

    It is lightly scented with natural essential oils, so if your skin reacts to fragrance, patch test first — every ingredient, including naturally-occurring allergens, is listed plainly on the label.

  • Will it work for oily or combination skin, or is it too rich?

    Yes. The rice water base and fast-absorbing rice bran oil keep the texture lightweight and non-greasy, making it suitable for all skin types including oily and combination.

    It hydrates and adds glow without sitting on top of the skin or feeling pore-clogging.

  • Does the Silk & Glow contain fragrance or 'parfum'?

    No — the Silk & Glow K Cream contains no 'parfum'. It is scented with named natural essential oils only: sweet orange, neroli, lemon and ginger, each listed in full on the label. What you smell is the plant.

    If you'd prefer no scent at all, this particular cream isn't fragrance-free, so a fragrance-free option would suit you better.

  • Where does it go in my routine — does it replace my moisturiser?

    Yes, it is your moisturiser step. Apply the Silk & Glow K Cream after cleansing and any serums, morning and night. In the morning, follow with SPF as your final step.

    Smooth it over face and neck as the cream that seals everything in.

  • Is the Silk & Glow K Cream safe during pregnancy?

    Yes. The Silk & Glow K Cream contains no retinoids, no hydroquinone and no synthetic fragrance — the ingredients most commonly flagged during pregnancy. It has been independently safety-assessed under UK Cosmetics Regulation SI 2020/1466.

    If you have any specific concerns, always check with your midwife or GP.

  • How long before I see results?

    Most people notice improved hydration and a difference in skin feel within the first few applications. Visible improvements in skin tone and brightness from the niacinamide and liquorice root typically become noticeable after 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use — which aligns with clinical research on both ingredients.
