Pros

Although it's a basic product, I've been using it for a few years because the scent is great and it's a life-changing item for my dry skin.

Cons

When my skin was very dry, I would apply it along with the body oil from the same line.

Pros

The product has recently been released in a larger size, but my husband and I have been using this body cream for years and it seems to have the best moisturizing power.

Cons

Since the size has been increased, if you buy it once, you'll likely have to use it for about 6 months.

Pros

The fragrance is absolutely wonderful!!! I was originally going to buy something else, but I was captivated by the scent and ended up getting it. Since it's for nighttime use, the moisturizing quality is also quite good. After all, when it comes to body products, I tend to prioritize the fragrance over the ingredients!! I don't really care about the ingredients anymore haha. I also purchased the matching body wash and hand cream - I thought it would be great if they had the same lovely scent!

Cons

Although the ingredients may not be the best, I'm fortunate that my skin, excluding my face, is quite resilient haha

Pros

I used to receive it as a gift from my student days, and the unique and comforting warm scent that I couldn't experience for a long time really lasts. Even when I wear thick clothes in the winter, my friends are like, 'Hey, it's the Ddaeng-ddaeng scent!' It even serves as an air freshener. Whether it's a room or a bathroom, I lie down and feel like falling asleep. The moisturizing effect is as good as slathering on Vaseline. It's amazing! ㅋㅋ You don't need anything else, this is the ultimate in moisturizing. It's so good that I even want to apply it to my eyeballs for dry eyes.

Cons

Why was it discontinued?.. I wish they would re-release it in a pump type. Scooping it with my hands made it easy for dust to get in. Please make it again..

Tip

The scent also transfers well to clothes, so you can use it like a perfume! No need for perfume~~!

Pros

This is absolutely amazing! My skin is extremely dry, so even when I apply body lotion or things like that, my skin ends up cracked and flaky. But with this product, the moisturizing power is great, and I don't have those issues anymore. The scent is also wonderful.

Cons

At first, I felt the fragrance was a bit strong, but the lingering scent was really nice. The fragrance may be divisive and cause some people to like or dislike it.

Pros

No matter how bad the ingredients are, it doesn't matter: - Except for the face, the rest of the skin is as tough as steel. - It doesn't matter if it's a mess or not. My ultimate love. - Isn't it true that in the winter, there's a heater in the living room? - Before you know it, snake skin will be under your calves ㅠㅜㅠ - No worries, this one is a direct hit!!!!! - The fragrance is completely to my taste, the thick texture instantly repairs even the driest, cracked skin like a desert floor. Once again, "Instant repair!!!!!" I scream~~~~ Silky smooth!!!!!!!!!!! - It has a richness that cannot be found in any existing brand, including Loccitane and others. Incredible moisturizing, I dare to say it's the best of the best x 12847392937;727. - Ah, it's really too good, my life-long item (in the body care category). - But there is a fatal flaw.

Cons

- Why on earth did the body shop discontinue this incredible product? - In Korea, it's impossible to find, and even through direct purchases on sites like eBay, you have to scrounge around like finding a needle in a haystack to discover and purchase this rare item. It's so sad..... - But I won't give up. As long as there's passion, that's all that matters, folks. Try it out, it's highly recommended. - After showering in the morning and applying this, my pants don't want to go on. It's so bouncy and firm that it resists going in. But I endure it.

Tip

- Am I the only one? My arms, legs, and front hips tend to get very dry and cracked in the winter. Those areas can be stinging and itchy. Applying this type of formula with your bare hands can feel a bit unpleasant, doesn't it? - Wear vinyl gloves and apply it generously^^^^^*

Pros

The other winter, suddenly something rough appeared on my calves, and it was even itchy;; I went to The Body Shop and got this product recommended as having the best moisturizing power. The price was expensive, but the moisturizing power is truly the best!! The moisture lasts until the next day. The itchy bumps on my calves went away after about a week of using it consistently. I only use it in the winter, so the amount lasts a good while - I highly recommend it!

Cons

The scent can be quite strong. At first, I didn't get used to it, but the moisturizing power was so good that I could overlook it. And sadly, it seems they no longer produce this product. :(

Pros

Excellent moisturizing power and fragrance! The fragrance may be divisive for some, but I love it!! The fragrance also lasts a long time, which I really enjoy. The moisturizing power is great, and my skin feels so soft and hydrated after applying it.

Cons

The fragrance may be divisive, which is a downside. Like many overnight-type products, it can feel a bit sticky right after application. The thick, creamy texture can also be a bit tricky to spread evenly, and it's not the most hygienic to use without a spatula.

Tip

It's great to mix it with oils! I really enjoy the fragrance, so I used it with the matching oil line, but even though they're from the same line, the fragrances are quite different.

I'm using the stretch mark cream while pregnant, the moisturizing power is truly excellent!!

The formula is too thick, so it's difficult to apply evenly unless I mix it with oil

Pros

I've been using this for a really long time and I really liked the scent. It's not just superficial, as even after some time, my skin remains incredibly moisturized.

Cons

Since it's a body balm, it doesn't glide on as smoothly as some other products, and my skin feels a bit tacky right after application. But it gets absorbed quickly!
