  Pros

  It's fantastic when your skin is dry. When you wake up, your skin feels soft and supple.

  Cons

  My makeup slides off even the next day. I don't understand why it's pilling despite its good hydration.

  Pros

  Well, I have combination dehydrated skin and I'm using this pretty well. Being a gel type, it feels fresh and incredibly lightweight. The hydration is also quite decent.

  Cons

  However, if there's one downside, it's that it tends to pill a bit when applying makeup. But honestly, this seems to be the case with most gel-type products unless they're cream-based, so it's not a big deal...

  Pros

  As someone with an oily T-zone but super dry cheeks, I find this product works wonders! When I apply it before bed, my skin feels wonderfully hydrated. Even when I wake up in the morning, there's no deep dryness or tightness.

  Cons

  If you apply it too thickly, you might experience some pilling. Also, I hate to say it, but the ingredients aren't as impressive as I had hoped.

  Pros

  I started using this after searching for a gentle and lightweight moisturizer. It applies beautifully, feels incredibly light on the skin, yet still provides excellent hydration.

  Cons

  After checking the ingredients on Hwahae, I'm not too impressed. Also, it's a bit on the pricey side.

  Pros

  It's pleasantly moisturizing and helps with deep dryness. Somehow, I always trust Vichy products. The scent is mild, and even when I apply a bit more, my makeup doesn't pill.

  Cons

  Even though I bought it on sale, the price still makes me hesitate.

  I love how it feels light and fresh without being heavy or greasy. I apply it generously when my skin feels dry.

  Cons

  As for downsides... I can't really think of any. It's pretty decent overall.

  Pros

  My skin unusually dried out this winter, so I bought this moisturizer along with one from Eucerin. While it doesn't feel quite as hydrating as the Eucerin one, I love that it doesn't cause any blemishes on my skin.

  Cons

  I don't have any particular complaints. Here in Europe, it costs roughly 15,000 won, but it's much more expensive in Korea. Paying 30,000-40,000 won feels a bit pricey for what it is.

  Pros

  As someone with combination dehydrated skin who doesn't like rich products, I appreciated how lightweight this was while still providing good hydration.

  Cons

  It's much pricier than most brand-name moisturizers, and I couldn't find any standout features to justify the cost. Given its light texture, it doesn't provide enough hydration for the transitional seasons or winter.

  Pros

  As someone with dry skin, I never had to worry about acne even during my school years. However, after hitting my mid-20s, the dryness started causing discomfort. Fortunately, I don't have sensitive skin, so I've tried many products. This is my second purchase after Kiehl's moisturizer. Once applied, I don't feel dry throughout the day. I think it's particularly great for winter use.

  Cons

  Occasionally, it tends to pill or feels like it's not absorbing well. For summer, I'd recommend using it at night or switching to a different product.

  Tip

  As mentioned above, for summer, I suggest using a different product or applying this cream in the evening. Alternatively, I recommend using just a toner and this cream.

  Pros

  I'm currently on my second bottle, and I find it really suitable for summer! While those with dry skin might need a different product in winter, I personally prefer lightweight formulas before applying makeup. This product works great as a base - it's hydrating and absorbs well without feeling sticky!

  Cons

  It's too light for dry days or nighttime use. You might want to use a different cream in the evening. Even if you apply it generously, those with dry skin will feel the dryness creeping in after a while. Also, it sets to a powdery finish over time, so I'm not sure about its long-lasting hydration. It worked fine for me as I prefer a dewy makeup look, but it might not suit those who finish with powder. And the price? It's a bit steep. I live abroad where it's cheaper than in Korea, but if I were in Korea, I'd probably choose a different product.

  Tip

  I think this product is good for those with non-dry skin to use before makeup in summer. However, after reading other reviews and looking at the ingredients, there are many negative comments, so I can't wholeheartedly recommend it. It might be better to try products from other brands available in Korea.
