I often reapply this on weekends when I don't wear makeup.
This helps alleviate the dryness a bit.

The moisturizing effect is quite lacking, but I am satisfied that it has freed me from various blemishes, so I continue to use it.

I use this product without any trouble, even though I have extremely sensitive skin.
When my skin was in complete disarray, this product restored my skin condition.

아쿠아 젤 루미너스 오일프리 모이스처라이저

The price is just too high, though. 
If the price were not a concern, I would want to keep using this product.

The texture feels smooth on the skin, and after applying it, there's a refreshing and soothing sensation. In the winter, when I used to wear foundation, it would sometimes flake off like dry skin, but on the days I use this product, I don't have that issue, and my makeup applies and lasts better.

I was able to purchase it online for 80-90,000 won.
I bought it, convincing myself that it's good, but the manufacturing date is 2014;;;;;;; Everyone, don't buy online. The expiration date is not even indicated, and you have to check the imported cosmetics expiration date website to confirm. I also bought it from a place that claimed to be a department store delivery, but it was a complete scam!!!

It's good, but is this price really necessary? I feel confused every time I purchase it.
The amount is also too small.

The moisturizer is very hydrating and gentle. There are no skin issues.
Compared to the really affordable moisturizer, this is on a different level.

The cost-effectiveness is not great
The amount is way too small for the price ㅜㅠ..

Has a nice, moderate weight and smooth application
Good absorption
Refreshing feel
Cute packaging...

Since I have combination skin that is partially extremely dry, the moisturizing effect didn't feel exceptionally great. It seems like a light cream that applies well.

I used it morning and evening as it had good spreadability and absorption.

The only downside would be the exorbitant price? I want to find a substitute quickly.

The makeup really applies well! It has a moisturized and non-greasy finish!

It's a perfect match when used with that famous watery toner. As mentioned above, the moisture level is not at an incredible level, so you'll need to replenish it beforehand.

But even if you just apply this and go out in a hurry, it won't feel lacking. You'll just have a feeling that something is missing.

1. The price. Oh, how evil. I thought, 'What are you that you're more expensive than my foundation?' but I couldn't switch to something else, so ugh....

2. While undergoing dermatological treatment, I used this once and my skin went haywire, so I stopped using it for about 2 months. At that time, I used a really mild one and my skin recovered, so I realized this was the problem. But since then, I've been using it for over 8 months without any issues (the one I was using before was good for calming the skin, but this one is 👍 for a softer skin, so I went back to it). It might have just not suited me for a brief period...Anyway, those with sensitive skin, be aware of this!

3. If you expect a super hydrating 'pang pang' effect from this, you might be disappointed. It's not at that level. I recommend using it with a sufficient toner. I actually get skin troubles when it's too hydrating, so I use the toner to replenish moisture and use this cream to manage it.

I bought it once and it failed. I didn't plan to buy it again, but after using it, I couldn't help but repurchase it...... Ah...... My bank account....... How many chickens is this worth.... But the amount is not as little as I thought, and my skin condition has noticeably improved, so I'm using it with tears in my eyes~

When I first used one bottle, I didn't know. I just thought my skin got better, but when I tried something else after finishing it, haha... My skin didn't actually get better^^ Really, the skin texture changes.

It applies lightly and refreshingly even in the summer, and it's moisturizing but gets absorbed quickly~

I've tried moisturizers famous for hydration like Bi*l, La*z, Ki*, etc., but this one suits me the best now. I'm still undergoing dermatological treatment for severe acne, but it's not overly irritating to the skin, provides good moisture, and forms a protective layer on the skin without being oily - an unbelievable condition that I found in a moisturizer. There's such an unbelievable moisturizer out there haha

I really strongly recommend it!

I've been using this along with the NARS Gel Moisturizer and the Belief Gel Moisturizer, and it doesn't feel greasy at all, it's been great.

First of all, this product is quite disappointing considering the price.
Being a very lightweight gel type, it wasn't enough to protect my dehydrated skin.
It's lighter than expected, so it may also be insufficient for oily skin types to provide adequate hydration.

I'm a combination skin type with dehydration. 
This is a very light gel moisturizer.
It may look thick, but when applied to the face, it's incredibly lightweight, so if you're looking for an extremely light moisturizer, give this a try.

Try keeping it in the fridge - it's amazing!

In the winter, it felt a bit lacking, so I applied an extra layer of oil on top.

The finish is not sticky, and when used for makeup, the skin feels firm and well-adhered. It also seems to have better foundation longevity as there is less oil buildup.

Be sure to apply it before makeup - it's a different experience than just wearing it on its own.^^


I also have slightly sensitive skin, so at first it felt a bit stingy, like when you put lemon water on, but I got used to it really quickly... Just be careful if you have sensitive skin...

The skincare products are so great for my skin... I use the SK-II and the moisturizing serum, and finish with this, and my makeup just melts into my skin so nicely... It seems to give a subtle glow as well, and this has become my go-to moisturizer... In the winter I use the horse oil cream, and in the summer I'll just use this one...

It has an exfoliating effect, so I carry the small bottle around and lightly apply it to a cotton swab to wipe off any flaky areas, then apply corrective makeup on top. It works well and is great.

The price is too high 😢 The quantity is small. If left in a hot place, the color becomes more intense.

The product gives a feeling of locking in moisture. The quantity is small, but a little goes a long way! When applied, it leaves a slight oily feel, but it absorbs quickly and is an oil-free product. It's worth the expensive price - it's great for dry skin. After using this, my acne has decreased due to the lack of dryness.
