Pros
It's so moisturizing! I tend to have dry skin, but when I apply this as the last step of my skincare routine before bed, my face feels so soft and hydrated in the morning. I used to apply it all over my face, but lately I've been using it as a spot treatment because it can cause some small breakouts. But overall, I really like it! When my skin condition is really poor, I'll apply it thickly like a face mask and sleep with it on. My skin condition is usually better the next day.
Cons
In the beginning, I did get a few pimple-like bumps. I think it might have been because I was using too much and my skin was getting over-moisturized. But when I apply it in a thin layer, I don't seem to get major breakouts, so I've been using it every night. + Sometimes I wake up with a new pimple, so I'll pause using it for a bit. I wonder if it's because the weather is getting warmer.
Tip
Apply it in a thin layer.

Pros
It was good to use by spreading it thinly when the skin was turned over.
Cons
I bought it before the packaging was renewed, so I should say it was torn.

Pros
The texture is similar to ricotta cheese, and it melts and spreads smoothly depending on the temperature. You can adjust the thickness as desired when it glides on. It provides extreme hydration, and I've never felt like my skin was dry after using this product. It gives a sense of a strengthened skin barrier. Depending on the amount applied, this cream can be used throughout the seasons. In the summer, I apply a thin layer, and in the winter, I apply more or layer it a few times.
Cons
It has an oily feel, so it's not recommended for those with oily skin. The tube has been leaking, so I hope the packaging is changed.
Tip
Can be used throughout the seasons by adjusting the amount applied!

Pros
The soothing effect is good. I applied it when I was suffering from acne and inflammation, and it didn't improve immediately, but you have to apply it thinly and consistently.
Cons
It cannot be applied before makeup. It's greasy, so it cannot be applied alone. It doesn't control oiliness at all.
Tip
It's much easier to apply the cream if you first apply a light lotion.

Pros
When it comes to Avène, it's a must-try! I've been using it even before the renewal, and since the renewal, I've been using it even more. When my skin texture becomes rough or sensitive, applying it thinly helps visibly soothe my skin and improve skin texture the next day. Although it has a slightly oily texture, the whitening effect has reduced after the renewal, and the application has noticeably improved. I recommend trying it out if you're looking for a replenishing cream.
Cons
However, if you don't apply it thinly enough, it can easily slide off. I use a lot of base products, and if I don't absorb it thoroughly, it can quickly slide off, and the absorption is slow, so dust or hair can easily stick to the oily areas, making it difficult to apply it widely.

Pros
This cream is incredibly rich and creamy. However, if I apply it thinly during the day, it becomes very dense and concentrated. This was the first cream I settled on as a 'beauty product nomad'. I started using it through my sister's recommendation, and it seems to suit me well. When I apply it to my face and sleep on it during a breakout, I don't have to worry about my skin the next day. Even if it doesn't seem to be absorbing at first, it resolves the issue within a day or two. Since this is my go-to product, I always repurchase it. For reference, I have extremely dry skin and frequent breakouts, but I'm not particularly sensitive to skincare products. The only difference is that ineffective products tend to have a more noticeable impact on me.
Cons
While many of my friends have recommended this product, some of them find that it doesn't suit them, which is understandable. Not every product works for everyone. And I've heard that the ingredients aren't 100% perfect, but that's a matter of personal preference. It's true that due to the product's characteristics, it might be inconvenient to use for oily skin types or in the summer, but if you use it in an air-conditioned environment, it should be fine.
Tip
When I have a breakout, I apply it generously to my face like a face mask and sleep with it on. The next day, the blemishes have subsided and my face has a healthy glow. You can apply it only to the affected areas as well. However, it's important to note that this is not an acne treatment, so for severe cases, it's better to use a proper acne medication.

Pros
It has a soothing effect on the skin. When applied thinly over blemishes, it works well.
Cons
It has poor spreadability and oiliness, so I think it's best for those with oily skin to avoid it.

Pros
Apply a thin layer consistently before bed as it is for dry skin. It's good to use when the skin barrier has been compromised and needs moisture.
Cons
Not recommended for oily skin due to the high oil content. It's disappointing when the thermal water separates upon winter delivery or the tube tears during use.

Pros
After becoming an adult, I started to develop cystic acne and have a lot of scars on my face, so I became interested in repair products. Definitely, after applying it thinly every day, the darkened areas after the wounds seem to have cleared up a bit. I've used it for about a month, and I think I should keep using it.
Cons
I think this product might be the cause... After a while, a couple of cystic acne popped up. It's not extremely oily, but I'll keep using it anyway.

Pros
If you're looking for a rich, creamy ointment-like cream for soothing, I'd recommend this. - The most important soothing aspect I usually apply this after dealing with blemish issues to soothe my skin, and I'm very satisfied with it. This is an SOS cream that lives up to its name. I typically apply a thin layer all over, and then add a spot treatment on areas that need extra soothing. - Spreadability and oiliness If you apply too much, you may feel like it's not spreading well and is too thick. You should scoop out just the right amount and use the warmth of your palms to slowly melt and spread it, which helps it absorb better. - Makeup Personally, I don't recommend wearing this under makeup. The creamy, ointment-like texture is quite heavy, so it's likely to interfere with base makeup application. I always use this at night, so I haven't experienced that, but I imagine this formula would not work well with makeup.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad about it, but as mentioned earlier, the texture is quite heavy and occlusive, so it's more suitable as a nighttime soothing cream. If you're aware of that and purchase it with that in mind, you won't be disappointed.
