⚠️HELP⚠️ Skincare Fridge

I was gifted a skincare fridge and got too excited to put my skincare in it. I watched so many Youtube & TikTok videos mentioned some products may not be suitable to keep in them. Also, they mentioned that heavy moisturisers/creams are not to be kept in the fridge. Is it though? And why? Plus, I'm confused; are ceramide/dermide products are categorised as thick/heavy creams? That means it cannot be put in the skincare fridge, no? Can somebody help me? Been searching on Google for answers but found none ☹️ P/S: The products tagged below are ceramide/dermide & spot treatment creams I used (which I'm confused whether to put in the skincare fridge or not)

I store all of my skincare items in my fridge including heavy moisturizers/creams and haven't had any issues. I would not suggest storing certain oils such as jojoba oil, olive oil, and coconut oil in the fridge as it solidifies in colder temperatures.

some dermatologists & skincare gurus said gel or any water based moisturizers/creams are great to put in the fridge, but not the heavy and thick ones. that's why I'm confused to put it in the fridge or not 😩 but if you said yours got no problem with it, I guess I'll try it myself. thank you!

I have never heard about thick cream cannot go in the fridge... maybe it would just make it harder to spread out? I have oily/combination skin so I don't use thick cream 😅 Your fridge is so cute, by the way

I watched Liah Yoo and one youtuber's video about it (i can't remember which) and said that thick/heavy creams do not need to put in the fridge bcs the consistency of it is already great for room temperature. idk, I guess I'll try it out if it's okay or not to put them inside the fridge 🥲 but thank you!

Unless the creams could separate, spoil faster or ingredients could degrade I don't see why the creams couldn't be cooled. However, some products do state on the package to keep away from humidity, so those shouldn't go in a fridge. If unsure, DM or email the brand, they'll let you know what to do for your product.

I also thought that cream could be put in the fridge unless it has oil. maybe you could contact the product company or fridge company to find out more
