Pros
I had a lot of milia and trouble on my forehead, cheeks, and chin due to stress and disrupted moisture balance. Even oil did not calm it down, so I ordered and used horse oil, thinking it was worth a try, and I was satisfied. Usage period: About two months How to use: In the morning - Mix a small amount with the second toner and apply. Then, apply sunscreen. In the evening - Apply toner twice, mix a small amount with a functional (wrinkle-improving) product and apply. Apply generously before bed. Since my skin was really problematic, I applied a lot. After reading the reviews, I saw that others used small amounts, but I was too dry, so I applied it generously before bed, almost covering my entire face. Even if you use a lot, you can apply it sufficiently with just one dip of your index finger. After using it for about a month, my original skin tone returned. The milia on my forehead, which was the worst, all went away, and most importantly, no other troubles appeared while using it. It also prevents moisture from evaporating much better than other creams or oils. For the first month, even if I applied a lot and went to bed, there would be no trace of it left when I woke up. But now, if I don't apply it generously before bed, it feels a bit sticky in the morning. And in the morning, I was worried about using oil, so I didn't use it, but since I can't use sunscreen (my eyes keep tearing up and I can't see), I mix a small amount in the morning as well. The small amount makes it a bit dry, but it's less dry than other creams, so I'm using it very satisfactorily. It seems that the health of the skin is definitely about balancing moisture and oil.
Cons
When mixing it with other products, it's fine, but when applying it generously before bed, the absorption can be slow. So it can get on the pillow... But I also massage it in a bit oily-like, and since my skin is currently quite shiny, I can tolerate this level. (And I sleep so deeply that I don't even notice if I'm hot or cold.)
Tip
I see. Yes, mixing it with other products is a good idea. And finding the right amount for your own skin is an important part of using any skincare product. Experimenting and adjusting the amount is key.

Pros
Soft and smooth skin! However, looking at other reviews, some said the absorption was terrible. Actually, my mother also said it didn't absorb well and left a greasy feeling. 4. It's cheaper than pure horse oil cream. You can buy it for around 20,000 won, while pure horse oil is around 40,000 won. 5. Since it's horse oil, you might worry about the smell, but it's really pleasant. There was no smell at all.
Cons
A small gift of acne bumps, and occasional slow absorption. 1. My dermatitis with hives has improved, but I got a slight bit of small acne. However, since I'm originally very sensitive to oils, it should be fine for those who aren't as sensitive to oils as I am. Compared to the breakouts from plant-based oils, this acne is nothing. 2. Even though I can't use oils, I wanted to try a glowy skin makeup look, so I applied a bit before foundation... The glow was there, but the foundation ended up looking patchy and breaking down quickly. ㅜㅜ My foundation just didn't seem to work well with this cream. 3. The packaging is narrow and tall, making it hard to scoop out the product from the bottom. It would be better if it was wider and flatter. 4. It absorbed really quickly on my skin, but my mother said it just sat on the surface and didn't absorb at all. Even after a long time, it didn't get into her skin, so she had to change her pillowcase. Absorption seems to vary from person to person.
Tip
Some people said it's better to just apply this product generously without any other skincare, but in my case, applying a good amount of toner first and then just lightly covering with this product worked better for me. The photo above shows my skin after the dermatitis improved but with some acne bumps. The one below is when I applied just a tiny amount, and it still caused some acne. The scars look gross, but I tried to capture it as clearly as possible. When my skin had the dermatitis, I didn't want to take photos because my face looked so bad. ㅜㅜ I wish I had taken some then.

Pros
The absorption and moisturizing properties are excellent. I used it as a stretch mark cream during pregnancy, and since it's made with animal oils, it didn't irritate my skin at all. Pregnancy creams usually need to be applied multiple times a day, but with this hand cream, just one application after showering would keep my skin moisturized for 2-3 days. The moisturizing power is really impressive. The only downside is that it was in a balm form, which would turn into an oil-like texture in the summer, so I had to store it in the refrigerator and use it that way.
Cons
The absorption is a bit slow. That's why there were some oil stains left on my underwear, and there's a distinct greasy smell. I got used to the smell over time, but it might be bothersome for first-time users.
Tip
Even if you buy multiple bottles through overseas direct purchase, it's still relatively inexpensive compared to genuine camellia oil. If you apply it generously, the moisturizing power is truly excellent.

Pros
After giving birth to two children, my childhood atopic dermatitis has flared up severely again. I've been going to the university hospital since January 2018, but it hasn't been getting better. Even if it doesn't get better (although getting better is the priority), the condition of my skin is just too... I find it repulsive and dirty myself. So I decided to start searching the internet. At first, I was going to buy Jinma oil instead of Sonba oil. But then I realized that if I buy one bottle of Jinma oil, I could buy a whole box of diapers for my kids. After reading the reviews, I saw that many people have also seen good results with Sonba oil. And my Japanese friend told me that Sonba oil is more famous in Japan, so I decided to order Sonba oil. I started applying it on June 6th, and I applied it all over my body after showering. So I only applied it twice at most. And this is the 'after' picture as of June 23rd. In my opinion, it seems like the effect is quite significant in about 20 days. What do you think?
Cons
The only downside is that since it's an oil, it absorbs more slowly and you can't put on clothes until it's fully absorbed.
Tip
After showering, I applied hyaluronic acid, baby soothing gel, and then Sonba oil on top. Afterwards, I just left it as is until it was fully absorbed.

Pros
I've been using it consistently after pregnancy because it has good ingredients. It's excellent as a facial oil or night cream substitute.
Cons
It has a distinct fishy scent, so avoid applying it around the nose area. If kept in a cold place, its spreadability worsens and overall skin absorption is poor.

Applying it at the end of your skincare routine gives a coated, protected feeling. Affordable price.
Cons
Doesn't absorb well. Feels sticky. Slippery texture ㅠㅠㅠ

Pros
Excellent moisturizing power! If you mix this with any regular moisturizer, it turns into a great cream for getting through the winter. Apply it and go to sleep, and you'll wake up feeling so moisturized! It's a level of moisture I've never experienced before. It's also great for sensitive skin since it's all-natural!! Ah, it's so good but I can't find the right words to express it... I've tried the famous Gerry* products before, but I like this one even more~
Cons
Since it's an oil, it seems like it separates a bit. You'll need to store it properly... And it doesn't absorb quickly, and the oiliness means I can't use it during the day~ (Using it means giving up on makeup) And it's a Japanese product, so purchasing and testing it is inconvenient.
Tip
The best way to use it is to mix it with your regular moisturizer. You only need a bean-sized amount, so a little goes a long way. Use it more at night and in the dry fall/winter seasons, rather than in the summer.

Pros
Although it is oily, if used in moderation, it does not feel greasy. This is also because it has a dry texture, but it seems to have good skin affinity. For a while, I only applied horse oil and slept, and my skin seemed to have gained strength. The official website said it should be the first step in the basic skin care routine, so I used it after wiping my skin with a toner. So the feeling was more of absorption rather than oil floating on the skin.
Cons
Since it is definitely an oil, the absorption time was quite long. When I was short on time, I just patted it in hastily, and there were times when it felt like the oil was still floating on my skin.
Tip
If you take the time to let it absorb, dry-skinned people won't feel it's too heavy.

Pros
I've been using this as a stretch mark cream. At night, when I wake up after applying it, my skin feels soft and supple. I'm 6 months pregnant and my belly has grown quite a bit, but I haven't developed any stretch marks yet. The full effects will only be clear once my pregnancy is over, but for now, I'm satisfied with the results and continue using it.
Cons
The spreadability isn't great for covering large areas. And you have to be careful not to get it on your bedding before it's fully absorbed. Forget about your clothes.

Pros
My cousin bought it for me in Japan because it's famous, and even a small amount makes my skin feel moisturized..
Cons
Failing to control the amount can be troublesome.... It doesn't absorb well and leaves a greasy feeling.
