It's completely oil-free and leaves such a refreshing feeling that you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again.
ConsSince it's oil-free, I wouldn't recommend it for those with dry skin.

I've been skeptical of Etude products since middle school, as we didn't have ingredient analysis apps back then. Even when using Hwahae, I never gave Etude a second glance. But after struggling to find the right cream and reading reviews, I decided to give it a try despite my doubts. It really fills in that missing hydration perfectly! It's packed with moisture and finishes with a fresh feel, without any oiliness. Since using this, I haven't had any milia breakouts. I used to use products with more oil content, which led to milia, but not with this one! However, since it's so hydration-focused, I add a tiny bit of Etude's Soon Jung Cica Balm to balance the oil and moisture. This combination definitely makes my skin smoother.
ConsFirst off... I should have bought another one earlier. It seems they've discontinued it...? I checked two local Etude stores and even their website, and it's been discontinued. Why... So I switched to the Soon Jung Emulsion, haha... Actually, since this product and the Soon Jung Cica Balm worked so well for me and were so gentle, I developed a really positive image of Etude's skincare line. That's why I switched to the Soon Jung Emulsion! I'm really enjoying that one too. If I had to mention any downsides from when I used it, there was some pilling, and for my combination skin in winter, the oil-moisture balance wasn't quite right, so I needed the Cica Balm. If I had used it in summer, this cream alone would have been enough!

I received this as a mini kit sample from Etude a couple years ago. I tried it first and loved the texture right away. It applies smoothly without any stickiness and feels refreshing. After using it, I noticed a reduction in excess oil and sebum. It didn't completely eliminate them, but there was a slight decrease. As I mentioned, I have combination dehydrated sensitive skin, and many popular products have caused my skin to react badly. However, this one didn't irritate my skin at all - it was amazing! I finished the sample and immediately bought the full-size product. I've been repurchasing it ever since. Highly recommended for oily skin types! Those with dry skin might find it a bit drying. When I apply a generous amount before bed, I wake up feeling like my pores have slightly shrunk - it's truly wonderful! I think it would be great for students like me who are going through a phase of excessive sebum production. The scent is also lovely - not a harsh chemical smell, but more of a fresh, subtle herbal fragrance. The scent is so good! It's not overpowering, just a light, refreshing aroma. In summer, I like to keep this cream in the fridge and apply it cool to my skin - it seems to have a soothing effect too! This is my holy grail product!
ConsIt's hard to find 20 characters worth of negatives... While it worked very well for my skin, results may vary for others!
TipAs mentioned above, results can vary, so I recommend trying a sample first like I did, and if it works for you, then purchase the full-size product. For those with dry skin, it might be slightly drying, so you may want to apply an additional cream. This cream is especially great when kept in the fridge during summer - applying it cool to your face provides an amazing soothing and cooling effect! I applied it generously after a hot summer sports day, and it was so calming and refreshing. If you try a sample and it works well for you, I recommend stocking up during sales! If you have any questions, please leave a comment right away! I'll respond as quickly as possible!

It's not sticky at all when applied, which is fantastic. I used to be so embarrassed by my severe millet-like blemishes, but after using this, they've significantly reduced. As I mentioned, it's not sticky, and it absorbs quickly too. The application feels slightly refreshing, and I think it would be great for those with oily skin. The scent was pleasant as well.
ConsI don't think it would be suitable for those with dry skin. Other than that, I can't really think of any downsides.
TipIf you apply too much, it can become a bit sticky and cause your makeup to pill. Use small amounts at a time for best results.

Incredibly lightweight and refreshing feel. Even my mom tried it and agreed. Of all the creams I've used, this one leaves the least greasy shine and feels the most refreshing. 2. Keeps oil at bay. When Etude House promoted this cream, they claimed it suppresses sebum and is an oil-cut gel cream. They weren't kidding! It really does keep oil production down! 3. Doesn't cause blemishes. I'm on my third repurchase because of this... It's truly the first cream that isn't too rich and suits combination dehydrated skin so well. When I finished this and tried a different moisturizer, I got blemishes due to excess oil production. Sigh... I've come back to this one, and at least it doesn't cause blemishes (though other products might still cause them).
Cons1. Small amount of product. The jar looks big, but the actual amount of cream inside seems a bit less. You can finish one jar in about a month and a half.
TipEtude House is a road shop brand! For road shop cosmetics, sale prices are the real prices. They often have half-price sales, so if you want to buy, wait for those sales!

When purchasing from Etude, I recommend getting a sample first and trying it out. 1. If you're looking for an oil-free product and want to avoid aloe or green tea in your skincare, I'd highly recommend this one. 2. As it's a hydrating cream, it's quite moisturizing. Once it's fully absorbed, your skin feels incredibly refreshed. 3. This oil-free product is perfect for those with very oily skin. While it may not dramatically transform your skin, it's an extremely reliable product. And we all know how hard it is to find something that's simply dependable! Please don't discontinue this...
Cons1. If you have dry skin, you'll need additional moisturizing. It works well for my oily skin, but those with dry skin might find it uncomfortable. 2. The artificial fragrance is quite strong... While you might get used to it, I wonder what the original scent was like to require such a strong fragrance. 3. I'm no chemistry expert, but I'm puzzled by the inclusion of alcohol. It's a bit concerning... 4. The jar packaging is a downside. I'm worried about hygiene. Any chance of switching to a tube format? Are you listening, product team?
TipAfter washing your face, apply a thin layer to damp skin and gently pat it in. Once it's somewhat absorbed, apply another layer and let it sink in. Then, follow up with heavier products in your routine.

At first, I was skeptical about Etude, but this little gem completely changed my mind. Usually, when I buy moisturizers for oily skin, they end up making my skin even greasier and causing more blemishes. But this one is different - it's almost oil-free and feels incredibly fresh. It doesn't cause any of those issues at all. When you first apply it, it feels slightly moisturizing and a bit sticky, but after about 30 seconds of absorption, your skin becomes perfectly balanced - matte on the outside, hydrated on the inside. It's a game-changer! As someone with oily skin and large pores, my makeup used to melt off quickly, and I avoided base makeup altogether. But when I finish my skincare routine with this, my makeup lasts so much longer. Plus, it's cleared up my acne-prone skin - my cheeks and forehead are now completely smooth. Before, my skin was a mess of blemishes and excess oil, but with consistent use of this product, my complexion has improved dramatically. This moisturizer deserves more recognition - it's truly top-tier. Oily-skinned folks, give it a try - you won't regret it. In my opinion, it's the best moisturizer for oily skin available in drugstores. Please don't discontinue this product, ever!
ConsSince this product is almost oil-free, those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in moisture.
TipBe careful not to apply too much, as it can become sticky. Use small amounts and layer as needed.

It's refreshing and non-sticky, making it easy to apply even when you're feeling unmotivated.
ConsThe scent isn't really my cup of tea. If they could improve the fragrance, it would be much more pleasant to use.

I received it as a sample and when I put it in the fridge and apply it, it feels cool and pleasant.
ConsThe scent is like lemon? Usually, I'm fine with any fragrance, but this one, when I keep smelling it, starts to remind me of cigarette smoke... (personal opinion). Not recommended for dry skin types. Apart from the scent, there don't seem to be any other issues.

Even though I only used it for a few days, I felt like my blemishes were subsiding (or flattening out?). It's not your typical cream texture, but more of a gel type, which feels light and refreshing. I love how it absorbs completely at the end without any stickiness. I'm planning to purchase a full-size product once I finish the sample!
ConsFor reference, my skin tends to run hot all over, and I have combination dehydrated skin. I've struggled with acne since around 4th grade. I've tried everything from dermatologist treatments like lasers, extractions, medications, and ointments, but they only provided temporary relief. The acne always came back. I was really self-conscious about my acne and hated being teased about it. However, since using this cream, I've noticed a significant reduction in raised blemishes. Now I can easily conceal any remaining marks with just a bit of concealer. Lastly, remember that everyone's skin is different, so try a sample first to see if it works for you!
TipI applied this after my toner and emulsion, once every evening!
