Its hydration power is exceptional - perfect for those with dry skin. A little goes a long way in creating plump, moisturized skin. It contains both cica and hyaluronic acid, making it suitable even for those with super sensitive skin. You can use this without worrying about blemishes.
ConsThe downsides are the scent and price. The cucumber fragrance is quite strong, and the sticky texture lingers, which might not be for everyone. I was surprised by how long the stickiness lasted. It's important to note that this is definitely not a light, fresh serum - keep that in mind before purchasing.
TipThis balm works hard to provide deep hydration, but its rich texture means it's best suited for those who don't mind a more substantial feel on their skin. It's great for layering in your skincare routine, especially if you're dealing with deep dryness or dehydration. However, if you prefer products that absorb quickly, this might not be your ideal choice.

The Inner Glow is absolutely radiant! I have dry skin but love a dewy, glowing complexion. This product is truly miraculous! Even a small amount applies smoothly with a rich texture. When you gently pat it into your skin, it creates a beautiful Inner Glow. Remember, if you nail your skincare routine, any foundation you apply will look flawless.
ConsThere's not much to criticize, honestly! If I had to nitpick, the packaging is a bit clunky. The dropper is somewhat blunt, making it tricky to control the amount dispensed. But as for the product itself, I can't find any real faults!
TipYou can snag this at a great price if you purchase it at duty-free shops!

I purchased it from Olive Young on 6/8 and I'm almost done using it now haha. I was interested in skin barrier because of my atopic dermatitis, so I bought this product and I've been using it really well so far. It's a serum with a runny texture and the scent is subtle, which I like. I apply the serum all over my face little by little, and after applying it, I feel a very plump sensation, but there's no dry feeling at all! I think it's better for those who don't like a sticky feeling to avoid this! However, it seems to be quite helpful for the skin barrier, so I've been using it daily and I plan to repurchase it!
ConsIt's expensive... It's over 50,000 won for 30 milliliters haha You have to wait for the Olive Young sale to buy it ㅜㅜ And it has a sticky feeling, so when your face touches the pillow, there's a bit of an unpleasant feeling haha That's why I'm changing the pillow cover frequently and it's better to change it often anyway to prevent face troubles, so everyone should change it frequently hahaha

While using this, I didn't have that 'Wow, this is amazing!' moment, but I found it hard to find a suitable replacement.
ConsAfter application, there was a slightly sticky residue on my hands that required washing off.

It definitely seems to reduce my skin's deep dryness.
ConsYou need to wait a moment for this to absorb before moving on to the next step in your routine. Otherwise, it can feel a bit too rich on the skin.

As someone with dry skin, I love how the rich texture absorbs into my skin with a delightfully plump feeling. That's why I keep coming back to it!
ConsIt might be a bit pricey for the amount you get. If you have oily skin or dislike sticky textures, this probably isn't for you.
TipFor ultimate hydration, try layering the cream from the same line on top. It's absolutely top-notch for moisture!

The incredibly rich texture instantly moisturizes dry skin, making you feel protected from external stressors. It's the best hydrating essence I've ever used! The difference in skin condition the next day is remarkable. The hydration lasts for an incredibly long time, and it's so moisturizing that you might not even need a cream - your skin feels like it's bursting with hydration. Despite realizing now that the ingredients aren't great, I can't help but reach for this product because I've never experienced such amazing hydration before. Having always used products with clean ingredients despite higher prices, I'm torn between wanting to repurchase and concerns about potential reproductive toxicity. I bought this on impulse during a sale while studying abroad, trusting the brand without checking the ingredients. After returning to Korea, I was shocked by the price and ingredients. If I had checked the ingredients first, I probably wouldn't have bought it. But once you use it, it's like an addictive serum you can't escape from...
ConsIn Korea, it's expensive and contains seven problematic ingredients: ❌Propylene Glycol ❌Dimethicone ❌PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides ❌PPG-6-Decyltetradeceth-30 ❌Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate ❌Phenoxyethanol ❌Fragrance Dimethicone (synthetic silicone), fragrance, and other ingredients are potentially carcinogenic, possibly cancer-causing, and endocrine disruptors that should be used with caution (especially PEG and PPG compounds). Even if we trust the brand's claim of no harmful residues in the ingredients, phenoxyethanol is still one of the most toxic ingredients out there.
TipIf you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, I strongly advise against using this product.
