I can't think of any downsides. I really appreciate its gentle ingredients and mildly acidic formula.

It's wonderfully hydrating, with long-lasting moisture retention. I love how it's not too sticky either.

약산성 18 프레쉬 크림 [지복합]

Personally, I didn't find any drawbacks. However, I can't say there was anything exceptionally good about it either, nor anything particularly bad. I'm just grateful it didn't cause any blemishes.

This product has great ingredients, and I used it well as a hydrating cream during summer.

Make sure to clean your hands thoroughly before applying it to your skin to minimize the transfer of bacteria!

There are no downsides... truly none at all. However, I understand it might not work for everyone, so I still recommend giving it a try.

This product is absolutely amazing! I have super sensitive, acne-prone skin, but when I apply this before bed, I wake up with porcelain-like skin in the morning. It's a product I want to use for life, and I'm so devastated it's been discontinued that I'm considering emailing Apieu about it. This product has significantly reduced my stress levels, and I can't imagine being without it now.

Apply it as part of your skincare routine before makeup, and your foundation will go on smoothly without pilling!

There's honestly nothing bad to say about it. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the cooling effect isn't as strong when your skin is really heated up.

Why on earth is this being discontinued? It's such a shame! With its affordable price, dropping to around $3 during sales, I never felt guilty using it generously. The gentle ingredients were a huge plus too. I'm really sad to see such a satisfying product go. It had the perfect light texture for combination dehydrated skin, and even with my super sensitive skin, it never caused any blemishes! A-pieu, please bring it back! I loved it so much I used every last drop, so I don't even have a photo to share in this review.

It evaporates too quickly. Even when applied in summer, it disappears so fast that it can't effectively hydrate the skin. Also, it keeps pilling, so I end up using more product than I'd like.

This feels like nothing when applied and has a pleasant scent that lifts my mood. It was a gift, and after checking Hwahae, I realized it's probably because there are no ingredients harmful for sensitive skin. The texture is like a thin mucus, but the color is pure white.

While it may vary from person to person, I occasionally felt like it didn't absorb well into my skin, so I mixed it with a serum.

It didn't cause any blemishes and I used it without any issues. The value for money is insane!

It has a medicinal or herbal scent, and the hydration level is slightly lacking.

It's lightweight yet keeps skin soft all day. When layered with other products, it doesn't make skin texture feel weird.

When mixed with a brightening moisturizer, it absorbs like a dream.

There are no downsides... Really, none at all. The only thing I wish for is that it came in a larger size.

I haven't been using this for long, but I've already emptied two tubes - it's that good! I'll definitely keep repurchasing. As the name suggests, it's a truly fresh-feeling cream for combination to oily skin. Those looking for intense hydration might find it lacking, but for my combination dehydrated skin, it's perfect. The texture is incredibly clean and light, making it ideal for carefree application. It's especially great for summer when skin tends to get oily. It absorbs quickly with a thin consistency, and even with multiple layers, there's no pilling at all. It's also very gentle, making it a versatile, no-fuss product that's easy to incorporate into any routine. I highly recommend this to anyone who hates excess oil, stickiness, or heavy moisturizers. The price is also very reasonable, so I encourage everyone to give it a try for its excellent value.

Since it's a mild cream, if you're looking for intense hydration or high nourishment, you'll need to use it alongside other products.

First off, it's incredibly affordable. It's a gentle cream that's easy and comfortable to apply with quick swipes.

It's great for applying to oily areas before makeup.

It's so drying that I can't apply it to other areas of my face.

I only apply this to my T-zone! It's too drying for my cheeks, but when I use it on areas that produce more sebum, I feel like my makeup stays put better throughout the day.

•Too drying if applied only once (layering is essential)
•Not recommended for combination dehydrated skin, despite being for oily/combination types
•Too dry for winter use
•Scent is a bit off-putting (but dissipates quickly)
•Not recommended as a final skincare step

•Feels hydrating without much oiliness
•Absorbs quickly
•Doesn't cause blemishes (ingredients seem gentle)
•Lightweight
•Affordable price
•Applies smoothly
