I guess Vichy products just don't agree with my skin...
ConsI bought this because I felt my skin lacked oil after focusing on hydration in my skincare routine. The first day I used it, I was satisfied with the balanced oil content. However, as time went on, my face became unbearably itchy with each use. When I apply foundation over this, it pills terribly. It doesn't absorb well and just sits on the skin. I'm not sure if the scent is pleasant; it's slightly reminiscent of flatulence. I've only used it for a short time, so I can't bring myself to throw it away. Maybe I should use it as a body emulsion instead. What a waste of money.
TipNo redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's destined for the trash.

I really appreciated the glass container it comes in.
ConsFor those with deep dryness, this can be extremely dehydrating. The price is quite steep. For some reason I can't explain, it gives a stinging sensation when applied...
TipIf you're not experiencing any blemishes from using this product but find it too drying, and feel it's a waste not to use it, I've found it works better when applied during the essence step of your skincare routine.

ConsThe scent was a bit disappointing, and I noticed some small bumps appearing after use. When I heard that shea butter might trigger acne, I decided to stop using it.

There's hardly any scent, and considering the volume, the price is quite reasonable for a pharmacy cosmetic product.
ConsAs someone with oily skin, it was fine in winter, but as the weather got warmer, it felt too rich on my skin. The texture is like a typical white cream. What I didn't like was that, probably due to my oily skin, it absorbed very slowly or seemed to sit on top of the skin. That's why I only used it at night, even in winter. Though I don't have sensitive skin, I felt a burning sensation when I applied it on days after exfoliating or peeling.
TipIf those with oily skin decide to use this, I'd recommend applying it only at night. Also, try to minimize the steps before this product and just use this alone.

After applying toner and this cream, my face doesn't feel tight, and it's moisturizing with a pleasant, refreshing feeling. I used to use something more hydrating, but I like both this and my previous one. It's really to my liking!
ConsMy face is dry but also quite oily, so if I don't use toner or apply it carelessly, by late afternoon or evening, I get white flakes of dead skin cells in some areas... It's frustrating.

It has a subtle powdery scent that instantly makes you feel at ease when applying. Even with my sensitive and dry skin, I didn't experience any burning sensation or irritation.
ConsWhile it's very moisturizing, it feels more like a film on the face rather than being absorbed. About an hour after first use, I absentmindedly touched my face and the product pilled like dead skin cells. Confused, I tried different application methods - using only toner, applying cream, using a different toner, and even reducing the amount - but it still pilled when touched. Oddly enough, it doesn't cause blemishes, burning sensations, or other typical signs of incompatibility. I'm puzzled as to why this happens.
TipThe constant pilling, regardless of application method, is frustrating. Why does this happen? I've resorted to using it as an overnight mask after evening cleansing. The next morning, after a quick foam cleanse, my skin feels silky smooth! The product itself isn't bad, but it's unusable in the morning. I'm not particularly keen on repurchasing.

ConsAs a night shift worker, my skin was so dry that my makeup-covered face cracked like a turtle shell. I decided to remove it, only to realize I had nothing to apply. I rushed to Olive Young in desperation. My moisturizer had just run out, so I was torn between this and Physiogel. (At 30, I still struggle with cystic acne and closed comedones, plus dehydrated acne-prone skin. I try to take care of it, but it's an odd combination - oily during the day, tight after washing at night. I turned to this pharmacy brand when I heard Physiogel contained shea butter.) I bought it at 8:30 PM, removed my makeup, and applied it along with the Refreshing Water from the same line. Just in case, I used a tiny amount and spread it carefully. By 10 PM, I gave it away to a colleague. The itching was unbearable - a sensation I'd never experienced before. I used to wonder how people could have such sensitive reactions after reading negative reviews, but now I understand. Oh, my 40,000 won! My skin isn't usually sensitive, so why is it reacting like this, Vichy? Oddly enough, every time I buy Vichy, I use it once and pass it on to someone else. Yet, I'll probably let my experimental spirit take over again... sigh.
TipVichy: Always making me carefully consider my purchases, but also making me wonder if I might have sensitive skin after all.

The fragrance was a bit strong though.
ConsAfter using it, my skin turned red and became itchy. I think it's because I have sensitive skin that's prone to allergic reactions to cosmetics.

Other than that, it didn't suit my skin, so it's hard to find positives...
ConsI have combination skin, and as I'm getting older, I feel dryness in winter. So I bought this cream hoping for rich hydration. However, my skin completely reacted, turning red and itchy. I even had to apply steroid ointment to calm it down. It seems my skin just doesn't agree with Vichy products, as I've had similar issues before. I strongly recommend patch testing before using it.
