Not Oily

They often have sales, so you should buy it when it's on sale.

It's a bit oily, so you should only apply a small amount thinly before makeup.

Although it may appear watery, it forms a film when applied.
Most importantly, the ingredients are very gentle.

[에센셜 소스] 콜라겐 퍼밍 크림

Apply it and press it into the skin with your entire palm.

The formula is a bit slippery, so it requires sufficient absorption. There is a slight stickiness involved.

I've been using it since winter, and when I apply it, I feel like my skin is being lifted (subjective). The ingredients are not bad either.

This Apieu product is often on a 50% sale, so you can get it at a great bargain price when it's discounted.

I usually apply a generous amount of moisturizer, as I finish my skincare routine with just a toner and moisturizer.
So it's a bit sticky for me.

But from my experience of trying various cosmetics, I've noticed that if the first ingredient is not purified water but an extract or other ingredient, it tends to be a bit sticky.
This seems to be an unavoidable issue due to the ingredients.

However, I still think this is a good product, as it's not as sticky as other non-purified water-based cosmetics.
It's not overly sticky at all.

Also, since it's a gel-type formula, it can be a bit drying in the winter.
You can use an oil or switch to a different cream during the winter months.

It's moisturizing and has good moisture content.
The ingredients are gentle, and it's a gel-type formula, but it doesn't evaporate right after application.
It's sometimes on sale for less than 10,000 won, so you can buy it at a great price.
I tend to get bored of cosmetics easily, but this one suits my skin well, so I keep using it.

It's just kind of average. Since I haven't been using it for very long, I'm not sure, but I don't see any noticeable effects yet.

I'm not sure if it improves elasticity, but it doesn't cause any breakouts either. When I wake up, my skin feels incredibly smooth and not at all oily.

It's a cream, so I understand that dimethicone has to be included to boost the moisturizing effects...
As long as I remember to rinse it off properly, the dimethicone shouldn't be a problem.
The real issue is that I'm just a lazy person.

I've been switching to a natural cosmetics line lately, and while I've discarded all my previous products and sold off my stash, this one item is something I truly love and can't part with.
Although it does contain dimethicone for its moisturizing effects, the ingredients are still far superior to similar products from other brands. 
It may seem watery, but the moisturizing power is on par with other creams, without the heavy, stuffy feeling. I can definitely recommend this product.
I haven't experienced any pilling issues with it so far either.
And it contains 80% marine collagen, which is amazing.

I wish it absorbed a bit faster. It stayed a little sticky for a while, which felt a bit stuffy.

It had a lot of moisture, and the fragrance was one that I really love, so applying it gave me a great feeling.

I don't really feel like there's anything disappointing.. I have no complaints~~

I used this product, then tried other cosmetics, and my skin broke out. But after using this again, my skin improved again ㅠㅠ
In the morning, the amount of oil coming out has decreased significantly, so I'm even more satisfied!! There's no stickiness either, I'm very satisfied!

Those with oily skin will likely welcome this product, as it's not sticky at all, yet it's not drying either.

If you have dry skin and don't use about the size of a 500-won coin, you should just use a toner or essence instead of the moisturizer.

I can confidently say that there is no better collagen moisturizing cream than this one (except for Mizzon). This product is a welcome addition for those with sensitive skin. It has a gentle peach scent and is quickly absorbed, making me feel like my skin is drinking in the collagen. And since it's not drying or sticky, it seems like the perfect choice for oily skin types. For those of us with dry skin like me, I'd recommend using an amount the size of a 500-won coin - that way, it will last you until the next day. And the packaging is so cute..♡ Apieu products seem to have the best ingredients.
