When I apply this and then do my makeup, the makeup ends up sliding down my cheeks.
It feels like I've applied too much primer.

I only apply it to my face and neck before bedtime, and the texture is smooth and pleasant.

The scent is strange. While it absorbs well, I'm not sure if it keeps my makeup in place as advertised.

A nighttime moisturizing cream. It absorbs well. It's good to use lightly in the summer.

I bought it because it was said to have good oil-water balance and absorb well, but it didn't seem to suit my skin. I don't want to definitively say it's because of this product, but this is the only new product I've started using. From the second day of using it, my face became itchy, irritated, and hot. Even though I'm usually not prone to acne, I started getting breakouts. After checking the ingredients, I saw that it contains something that can cause acne in oily skin types... And the smell is just like burning plastic, it's really unpleasant. Anyway, I haven't used this cream at all since then.

Compared to other creams, this one seems to be very affordable.

The smell! The smell is really... the smell makes me hesitate to apply it. It's like a plastic-y smell, or maybe a grain-like smell... If it weren't for the smell, it would be a great product!!

I use it as a pore primer and moisturizer, and it feels refreshing. It seems to blur my pores a bit. It also provides decent hydration, so my skin doesn't feel dry. And my makeup seems to apply more smoothly and evenly.

The smell is a bit off. It's unpleasant enough to affect my mood when I apply it.

It's decent for daily use. It's not greasy and feels light. I can't really think of anything else.

However... the smell was really strange and unpleasant, making it difficult to continue using. And I didn't see the priming effects that were advertised. Plus, I experienced a lot of breakouts after using this product, so while it's a shame, it's mostly still like new.

It has a fluffy finish, so I bought it with high expectations. The texture and application felt oh so fluffy!! But it wasn't as powdery or flaky as I had expected.

I only use it when I'm going out at night. I apply it on top of my regular skincare routine when my face looks overly shiny. The scent is so strong that I have to spray perfume or use a nicely-scented skincare product alongside it.

The scent is extremely unpleasant. It has an artificial, sour yogurt-like smell. I'm not sure how everyone else applies this. I usually use it in the morning, but when I rush through the application, it leaves behind flaky residue after some time, even if I just apply sunscreen on top. Fortunately, it doesn't cause any breakouts, so it doesn't seem spoiled, but I'm not sure how else to use it. It doesn't seem to have a noticeable priming effect either, so I think I'll just have to throw it away.

The texture is surprisingly fluffy, unlike typical skincare products. When I quickly apply this before running out the door, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, almost giving the illusion of a refined skin texture. The cute cream jar is an added bonus.

This cream is quite far from being moisturizing and is more suitable for use in the summer.

Overall, my skin type is dry, but my T-zone is oily.

The advantage of this cream is that it has low oil content and provides good sebum control, making it a good fit. It's more suitable for providing a matte finish rather than deep moisturization.

I recommend this to those who have non-sensitive skin and are looking for a light, moisturizing cream that can also serve as a primer before makeup.

There was an unpleasant vinegar-like scent, and after using it, I developed red blemishes on my cheeks, possibly due to harmful ingredients, so I immediately stopped using it.

It was better to have a moisturizing effect rather than being oily, and it functioned like a primer.

I received it as a gift, but the fragrance is really poor and the texture is too stiff, so it seems like it will create wrinkles that weren't there before. The description says it also functions as a primer, but I have no idea what that means. I can't tell what role it's supposed to play.

Unlike its smooth application, it was quite moisturizing and did not feel heavy or overly viscous, which I liked.
