To be honest, I'm not sure if it's really good.
ConsMost of the time, it just sits on the surface, and I have to rub it in until my fingers turn red. At some point, it suddenly becomes soft and absorbs clearly, but before that, it becomes chalky like toothpaste.... Plus, since it doesn't seem to suit my dry skin, my nose area and philtrum felt very irritated after applying it. It was expensive, so I had high expectations, but honestly, it's not that great...

The only good thing about it is... hmm... the nice fragrance? haha When I apply it to my dry, cracked skin that doesn't get hydrated even when I add water, I feel like it won't suit my skin.
Cons*Poor spreadability It just keeps sliding around on my skin and doesn't get absorbed. It's like spreading butter on an acrylic board... I tried using galvanic absorption, but it didn't work. *Sensitive skin My face gets itchy when my skin gets oily. Especially on my cheeks!!!!! I also often get heat flashes, and when that happens, my skin gets inflamed and the itchiness gets worse. Around the afternoon, my skin gets oily, but it's still dry. When I use this product, my skin gets shiny and itchy. It feels like all my pores are clogged.
TipI kept it in the fridge... When my skin was really dry in the middle of winter, I applied about the size of two beans and waited a bit, then lightly washed my face to remove just the surface oil. After that, applying a non-oily moisturizer made it a bit better.

ConsI'm not sure if it's because I've been using it for a while, but it just doesn't seem to work for me. Especially, while the surface feels moisturized, that moisture doesn't seem to penetrate all the way through. Even when I apply foundation, it ends up looking flaky and causing me stress. The amount doesn't seem to last very long either.

The spreadability is also quite good.
ConsWhile it has a good amount of moisture, it also has a bit of oiliness. Due to the oiliness, you need to pat it in well to absorb it, otherwise it may have a slightly greasy surface feel.

ConsThe price is expensive :( And... I don't know how to say it, but it kind of sits on top of the skin It doesn't absorb very well

The cream is nicely dense, but it tends to sit on top of the skin when applied...I'm not sure if it's actually absorbing...I really liked it when I first bought it, but now it's just so-so..
ConsEven when I apply it in the winter like now, I still feel like my skin lacks moisture.. And when I apply it, it doesn't seem to absorb well and just sits on top...Not recommended for winter.

But after using this, the itchiness went away, so I've been using this exclusively!
ConsI've been using it well every year, but lately it feels like it's not absorbing as well.

It's expensive in Korea, so I buy it at the duty-free shop when I go abroad.
ConsSometimes certain products (e.g., the brown bottle of Estée Lauder) don't seem to work well with it, and it just doesn't blend in.

I've fallen in love with the scent. There's a saying that Gohyun-jeong uses an entire bottle during her 13-hour flight from Korea to the US, which shows just how intensely moisturizing it is. To be precise, it's not a gel-type moisture like Biotherm, but rather a cream with a well-balanced oil-water ratio. The texture is neither too rich nor too lightweight like a gel, so it doesn't feel greasy at all.
ConsI think it's important to thoroughly soak the skin with a toner in the previous step to make it supple. When I applied it without properly prepping the skin, it felt a bit oily on the surface while still leaving the inner layers dry. I used the Santa Maria Novella Chrysanthemum Water to hydrate the skin before applying the cream, and that worked much better.
TipIn the next step, I lightly dabbed a touch of Darphin oil on my hands, gently massaged it into the skin, and let it absorb. Just those three steps - toner, cream, and oil - seem to really improve the skin. It feels like the skin can breathe now.

The fragrance is good. As a moisturizing cream, it is moist and has little oiliness, so it does not feel sticky, which is good.
ConsI don't really think it's extremely good value for the price. When applied, there's no smooth spreading sensation, and it has a bit of a surface-level feel, so I don't reach for it often. Two months in and I haven't used 30% of it. It's just not bad, just so-so.
