  Pros

  I've been using this for 10 years. Do I need to say more? While it has more cons than pros, it's still an amazing product for me that outweighs all the drawbacks. First off, it's excellent at calming my skin. When I stop using it, I always end up with blemishes or sensitive skin. Whether I've got sunburn, fatigue-induced sensitivity, or allergies, this cream works wonders without any issues. When Jurlique left the Korean market, it became impossible to buy offline. Now we have to purchase it online or at duty-free shops. I really wish they'd come back. Recently, I tried to switch to a different cream, but my skin went haywire. I quickly ordered this online, and as soon as I applied it, my skin calmed down like magic. It sounds like an ad, but it's not... I wish I could break free from this dependency. As my skin has become drier lately, I've started mixing in a bit of oil when I apply it.

  Cons

  Except in winter, I only apply it at night. The cream is thick and doesn't absorb well. Even with just sunscreen on top, it tends to pill for me. It has an ointment-like texture. In the early days, it was literally just like an ointment. The packaging was metal, similar to L'Occitane hand creams, which made it worse. A few years ago, they reformulated it to be creamier, making it usable in winter. The application isn't great, and if you apply too much, it doesn't absorb well and can leave your face looking pale. The price is wicked. Even with the cheapest deals, it's around $50 for 50ml. It was the same when Jurlique had department store presence in Korea. You had to use coupons and points at duty-free shops to make it affordable. The 100ml is about $80. The tube is opaque, so it's hard to tell how much is left. When you think it's empty, you cut it open to find it's still full. The packaging is not great. The opening gets dirty easily (the cream tends to solidify), but I guess there's a reason for this packaging...

  Tip

  Try to use it at night, and those with sensitive skin should definitely give it a try. Duty-free shops offer the best prices! If you want a creamier application or to use it during the day, I recommend mixing it with oil or another moisturizer. Please, many of you use it... so it can be imported to Korea again...

  Pros

  It's a bit pricey, but I love how it soothes my skin every time I use it. I'd rather stick to something that works perfectly for me than risk damaging my skin with cheaper alternatives. It's incredibly gentle and really helps calm those pesky little blemishes. I used to get them frequently, but since using this, they've settled down.

  Cons

  It might be a bit lacking in hydration, so if you have dry skin, I recommend applying a moisturizer after this. Also, be sure to apply it at night as it may cause pilling if used in the morning under makeup. When you first apply it without any essence underneath, it might look white and chalky, but don't worry - just pat it in and the white cast will disappear.

  Tip

  For best results, apply a generous amount before bed for a soothing effect similar to a calming ointment. Personally, I like to follow up with a bit of facial oil - it works wonders!
