MISSHA [Near Skin] Eco Ceramide Cream

It's a bit sensitive, but it applies smoothly and doesn't feel sticky, so I'm using it well.

I've been using it consistently, but the effect doesn't seem to be significant.

The skin type is sensitive in the T-zone and dry in the U-zone. While it is not a vacuum pump container, the tube-type ointment is large in size, making it hygienic to use. The formulation is a moderately creamy texture, not too thin or too thick, and has an oily feel. After cleansing, I wipe the face with a cotton pad soaked in toner, and since the oil cream alone leaves the face feeling lacking in moisture, I apply a moisture-rich essence in the middle. The application is smooth and spreads well, but I find the absorption to be slow. This requires proper amount control, applying evenly across the entire face, and patting gently for 1-2 minutes to help it absorb. The fragrance is almost non-existent.

During the first week of use, I developed about 3 visible red blemishes on one cheek. I was unsure if it was just my skin adapting, and almost stopped using it, but after a week the blemishes naturally subsided. I'm still uncertain if it's due to sensitivity to a specific ingredient. As mentioned in the reviews, the tube-type packaging gives the impression that it may burst open with continued use. My main complaints are: Firstly, the product comes in a plain paper case with no foil seal, and the cap does not seem designed well for hygienic opening. If the cap cannot be used to open it, there should at least be a foil seal. Secondly, while it contains ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier, I wish the formulation focused more on beneficial ingredients rather than potentially problematic ones. If the absorption was better, I could overlook this, but adding questionable ingredients is disappointing. In conclusion, I have some concerns about the ingredients, so I'm deducting one star.

1. This is a great basic skincare product for a skin care routine. Lately, I've been finishing my skincare with a toner - hydrating essence (or a functional hydrating essence) - and an eco-ceramide cream. Adjust the amounts based on your skin type, the season, or your skin's condition that day. 2. Before using matte-finish foundation, cushion, or BB cream, thoroughly absorbing and applying this cream helps prevent the skin from feeling dry underneath.
