  Pros

  I've used it for 10 years. Do I need to say more? It's actually a cosmetic product with more drawbacks than advantages, but it's a good cosmetic product for me that can offset all of that. First of all, it's excellent at calming the skin. If I stop using this after using it, I always get breakouts or my skin becomes sensitive. Whether it's sunburn, fatigue-induced sensitive skin, or allergy-related issues, this has been effective and I've used it without any problems. Since Julique withdrew from Korea, I can only buy it online or at duty-free shops now. I really hope they come back. Recently, I tried switching to a different product after finishing this cream, but my skin went crazy, so I hurriedly ordered it online again. When I applied it, my skin calmed down miraculously... It's not some kind of promotion, I really want to get away from this product. Recently, as my skin has become drier, I've been mixing in a bit of oil when applying it.

  Cons

  Except for winter, it should only be applied at night. I'm the same way.. The cream is thick and the spreadability is not great, so even if I just apply sunscreen on top, it still feels a bit heavy. It has a texture like an ointment. In the beginning, it was just straight-up ointment. The packaging is that metal..? I don't know how to describe it, but it's like the metal used for ointments or L'Occitane hand creams, which made it seem heavier. However, a few years ago, they reformulated it and it became much creamier. Now it's usable even in the winter.. but the spreadability is still not great. If you apply a lot, it doesn't absorb well and leaves your face looking pale. The price is outrageous. Even if you buy it directly from overseas for the cheapest price, it's still around 50,000 won for the 50ml size.. This has been the case even when the Korean Sulwhasoo brand had stores in department stores. You have to use coupons and loyalty points to buy it at the duty-free shops...The 80ml size is around 80,000 won. It's in a tube format and opaque, so it's hard to tell how much you've used. No matter how much you squeeze, it feels like there's always more inside when you cut it open.. The packaging is not great. The opening gets really dirty easily (the cream also has a tendency to harden)... There must be a reason they use this type of packaging...(,,•́ω ก̀,,)

  Tip

  It's best to use it at night, and I really recommend it for those with sensitive skin.ㅠㅠ Purchasing it at the duty-free shop is the most affordable option! If you'd like a creamier application or want to wear it during the day, I suggest mixing it with an oil or other moisturizing cream. Please use it a lot... so it can be imported back to Korea again....(,,•́ω ก̀,,)

  Pros

  The price is a bit on the higher side, but every time I use it, my skin feels soothed, so I like it. It's better to consistently use something that suits me well rather than using a cheaper product and damaging my skin. It's really gentle and calms down a lot of my acne. I used to get pimples quite often, but since using this, they've been quiet.

  Cons

  If your skin is a bit dry, I'd recommend applying this and then adding a moisturizing cream on top. And if you apply it in the morning, it can cause your makeup to slip, so be sure to apply it at night before going to bed. Also, if you apply it without using an essence or serum first, it can appear whitish at first, but just gently pat it and the white cast will disappear, so don't be alarmed.

  Tip

  Apply it generously before bed and it will have a soothing, ointment-like effect on your skin. I also like to add a bit of oil after using this product, and it works great.
