Even though I am not oily-skinned, I am quite sensitive to stearic acid. Despite applying the product in a thin layer and in small amounts, the moisturizing effect was amazing. I usually have a slight tightness after applying serum, soothing gel, and then finishing with a lotion, but when I just used the serum and this cream on top, there was no tightness at all, and the moisturizing effect was incredible!! After using it for about 10 days, I could feel my skin tone becoming a bit brighter, which I really liked. I usually use the Sulwhasoo Perfecting Foundation shade 22 (764), and you could see the foundation on top, but after using this cream, the difference is barely noticeable - it's as if I didn't even apply any foundation! I used to get a lot of stress from my acne scars that took a long time to fade, but after using this, the acne traces and redness are fading much faster, even the acne that was still there. Of course, it doesn't directly treat the acne itself, but it seems to be making my skin healthier overall. Even during that time of the month when my skin tends to act up, it just passed without much trouble this time. While the acne didn't completely stop, I think the stearic acid sensitivity is the culprit. I wanted to attach some photos, but the difference isn't that visible yet, so I'll add more to this review after using it for a bit longer.
ConsFor those sensitive to stearic acid, it's best to use only a very small amount or avoid it altogether. I may have misjudged the amount a couple of times, and even just using the serum and cream, I felt it was quite heavy. The next day, I had two big, painful pimples and a lot of small bumpy acne around my chin area. The absorption also seems quite slow (or maybe it's not absorbing at all? It always feels like there's a layer on top of my skin) and the formula is quite thick and sticky, making it harder to spread compared to regular creams. The product itself is good, but the combination of so many ingredients is a bit disappointing.
TipSome others mentioned that it can be a bit heavy under makeup, but I found that applying it thinly actually gave a nice, seamless finish.

The absorption is not bad either. And when it gets very dry, if you apply it very thinly, it won't get as dry.
ConsThe excessive oiliness compared to the moisture and the price are disappointing... I used this and the oil came up too much, and acne also came up... There's also a bit of a tight feeling... Not recommended for dry acne-prone skin..
TipWhen very dry, just apply a thin layer to the dry areas!

I didn't experience any trouble like breakouts after using it. The small bumps I had due to dehydration have mostly gone away. I found that applying it at night makes my face feel smoother and more supple the next day. The fragrance is almost unscented, which I like. Just using this cream after my skin toner and serum keeps my skin from feeling tight and keeps it well-moisturized. The oil-water balance seems just right for my skin type - it absorbs well without leaving a greasy feel, even when I use a generous amount. However, those with oily skin may find it a bit too rich. As a heavy-duty winter moisturizer, this cream is perfect for my skin type! It's a great match for my skin (which becomes drier in the winter, but is normal in the summer). On very dry days due to heaters, mixing it with a facial oil works well - it leaves my skin feeling replenished the next day.
ConsThe packaging is a bit squeezable like an ointment. I'm a bit concerned about the durability, so I've been using it sparingly from the top. It may cause makeup to slip a bit if you don't allow enough time for it to fully absorb.
TipIf you're applying it before makeup during the day, give it some time to absorb first before starting your makeup. Even with a drying foundation, it won't make your skin feel tight.

As a dry-skinned person with an oily-dry complexion, I think it would suit those with oily skin well, as it has little oil content. I thought the scent was almost non-existent, like a familiar ointment-like fragrance. Being sensitive to smells, I had no aversion to it at all.
Cons1. Ingredients Looking at the full ingredient list, you can see that phenoxyethanol is included at the very end. Of course, since it is listed last, the concentration is likely very low. But the fact that this ingredient is present at all, even in a small amount, is something that makes me hesitant to use it. That's why I deducted one star. 2. Packaging As you can see in the photo, there is no aluminum seal, so once purchased, it has to be used right away. This means it's not possible to stock up on it during sales periods. However, the expiration date is 12 months, which is quite long. It's a tube-type packaging made of aluminum that you have to squeeze out. If you don't dispense it neatly from the start, as we all know, the packaging can tear or burst, and the contents can leak out, making it difficult to use economically. Some improvement in the packaging material seems necessary.
TipIt's important to apply it thinly. It's a bit thick, so you need to rub it in several times for it to absorb well. And since the packaging is made of aluminum, which is classified as a can, be sure to dispense it neatly from the end. That way, you can use it up economically without wasting any.

So I only applied it around my eyes and the areas that tend to get dry, like the corners of my mouth. In conclusion, I'm extremely satisfied. I was worried about the pore-clogging ingredients, but when I applied it thinly over my blemishes, there were no issues, and the next morning, the moisturized feeling remained around my eye area, just like an eye cream. For nighttime! A fuss-free moisturizing cream!
Cons* Hygiene of the container?: Someone uploaded a photo, and there was a protective film (like Madecassoside) on the lid, so I thought, 'Oh, that's nice,' but when I opened the lid, the cream was just directly exposed..haha * For oily skin, it's a bit greasy to apply all over the face.
Tip* If you want to use it before your morning makeup, apply it very thinly and then use a matte sunscreen/foundation to prevent the makeup from clumping around the sides of your nose later in the day.
