It leaves only moisture and is quickly absorbed. Once applied, it gets absorbed smoothly.

1. It is difficult to purchase directly. There is the inconvenience and hassle of having to purchase through parallel imports, plus the wait time until it arrives. 2. For severe dryness, the Ichiccare product is insufficient. I used to use the Curel original blue and the Ultra Healing red, but I heard that the Ichiccare contains ingredients that respond to eczema, so it looked better, so I purchased it! Personally, my favorite is Ultra Healing, but Ultra Healing has a slight lemon scent and is overflowing with moisture and oil, so it acts like an oasis for extreme dryness... Ichiccare is unscented, so it doesn't have a particularly good smell, and when applied, it spreads smoothly like a regular cream, but it gets absorbed too quickly, so it didn't help my extremely dry and itchy skin on my arms and legs = it was still itchy. I reordered the Ultra Healing to use as a hand cream and to apply on my body.

If the area you need to apply it to is eczema-prone skin, I would recommend it, but for skin as severely dry as mine, purchasing the Ultra Healing line would be the money-saving option.

I'm using this product for my daughter's atopic dermatitis. She has severe itching, so I'm using it desperately, like grasping at straws. I'm on my second large bottle and the moisturizing seems to be working well. I purchased it directly and it's a pump type, so it's easy to use. The texture is thick. I recommend this to those with extremely dry skin.

The downside is that it has to be purchased through overseas direct purchase, and the thick texture is only recommended for those with dry skin. There are no other particular downsides.
