The ingredients are great, the texture is smooth, and my skin feels soft and supple after applying it.
ConsSince it doesn't come with a spatula, you'll need to be careful to keep it clean when using. It absorbs a bit slowly, likely because the formula is rich and heavy. The finish has more of an oily feel rather than a dewy one, so it may suit dry skin types better. You'll need to adjust the amount you use based on your individual skin condition - for me, applying too much can feel like it's clogging my pores.

Skin Care Cleansing - Dr. Different First Cleanser Moisturizer - Nature Kind Comfort Mega Panthenol Cream Reason for Product Selection After excluding ingredients that don't suit me and risky ingredients, about 22 (I don't remember the exact number) products came up. Excluding discontinued products, there were around 200 products. I clicked on each of these 200 products, read reviews on Hwahae as well as the brand's website and blog reviews, and selected the products that seemed to best match my skin's oil and moisture levels. => Conclusion: There are no ingredients that don't suit me, and the oil and moisture levels also seem to match my skin, so the probability of it not suiting my skin is low. Usage Day 1 (9.10 night) The product has a smooth, slippery application, but it's not highly absorbent. And when I apply any product with silicone, my face starts sweating, and even with this silicone-free cream, my face was sweating profusely until it was absorbed... It's clear from this that the absorbency is not great. However, it does get absorbed over time. The smoothness is partly due to the oily feel, but it's not actually an oily product. This is a common characteristic of high-panthenol products, as panthenol itself can feel oily. As described, it is a moisturizing cream, but the oily feel may bother those with oily skin. Even after it's fully absorbed, there's a sticky finish, not a powdery one. Day 2 (9.11 morning, night) Last night before bed, my skin felt slightly itchy and stinging, but I'm not sure if it's due to inflammation or the product. During the day today, I had a brief fever on my neck and a slight fever on my face, but other than that, my skin was fine. There was no reaction and I felt comfortable. When I got home at night, my face started to get a bit red. My left cheek was getting redder and redder. Since the professor stopped the antibiotics yesterday, I'm not sure if it's due to the medication, this product, or the cleanser... Day 3 (9.12 morning, night) I had to prepare food for an ancestral rite, so I was in front of oil and fire, so I'm not sure if my skin will be okay... But when I woke up, there was contact dermatitis on my left cheek... The area where I applied the steroid ointment a lot was more sensitive. The other areas are fine, but the left cheek is the problem. Even when I apply other moisturizers, the contact symptoms are different but it's always an issue in that area... I'll have to reduce the amount of this cream I use. It's red, itchy, and feverish, but at least I don't have any acne-like rashes, for which I should be grateful... Anyway, I have to go take care of the ancestral rite. Day 4 (9.13 morning, night) After taking a nap after the ancestral rite without the fan on, I woke up with both cheeks bright red and feverish... This is how atopic dermatitis acts... I absolutely cannot let my face get even a little bit feverish... And even though the moisture level is high, I didn't feel particularly dry even when sleeping with the fan on. Anyway, I kept bringing down the fever with cooling pads and the fan, and when I checked my skin in the mirror, the bumps had definitely improved a bit. The cleanser had a calming effect, but using the cleanser and this cream together has really boosted the effect. Day 8 (9.17 morning, night) For the past few days, I've been applying this cream extremely thinly, almost not at all. The professor said my bumpy skin is due to increased keratin production from inflammation in the pores, and the skincare products I use are penetrating into the already clogged pores, making them even more blocked. So I'm applying it super thinly, and the bumps have reduced a lot. But the problem is, in the beginning when I started using this product, I had contact dermatitis - redness, itchiness, fever, it was awful... Now it's fine, but maybe my skin was just shocked when I suddenly switched from the moisturizer I'd been using for years to this one... It's not like I'm using panthenol for the first time, and the previous product I used had an even higher content, so I'm not sure why the contact reaction was so severe... Anyway, since it's fine now, I think it was just an initial adjustment reaction (??). And since the size is so large, I gave some to my family members in a spare bottle, and they were very satisfied with it. Day 19 (9.28 morning, night) It seems the dipropylene glycol content is high. If I apply even a little bit more than I should, the moisture level skyrockets and I get contact dermatitis. Since my skin's moisture level is already high, slathering on this cream makes my skin uncomfortably drenched... Fever, redness, stinging, it's a mess... So I just dot on the tiniest amount, and then the moisture level is normal (though still optimal), and I don't have any adverse reactions. It's really true that too much of anything is bad... Day 24 (10.3 morning, night) I'm just dotting on the thinnest possible layer of the cream, and as the weather has started to dry out, my skin's moisture level has normalized, and with the added oral medication, my skin seems to be gradually calming down. The problem is, the longer the dermatitis lasts, the more intense the flushing becomes. My face just keeps getting redder and hotter... Anyway, using this cream doesn't make my skin better or worse. The professor said that for inflamed skin, basic skincare products can actually exacerbate the inflammation, so I think my skin needs to calm down the inflammation first before this cream can actually help improve it... I'm just satisfied that it doesn't cause any issues when I use it. The previous product I used would make my skin itch for a few minutes after applying (I'm suspecting the aloe might not agree with me), but this one doesn't cause any such reactions at all. Around 3 months (11.19 morning, night) Applying too much still overwhelms my skin, but it's better than before. Whereas before I was basically just dotting it on, now I'm applying about half to one full application. As my skin can tolerate more of the cream, the condition is slowly improving. However, I'm still highly sensitive, with sudden flashes of heat 2-3 times a day (though the duration is getting shorter), and even a slight breeze can cause small blisters, itchiness, and redness. But Still, compared to my skin before using this cream, it's definitely more stable. Around 4 months (12.6 morning, night) Since it's winter, the cold wind outside makes the flushing much worse. Of course, if I don't go out and just stay home, the flushing is gone. But if I turn the heater or electric blanket up too high, I get fever and redness... If I can maintain a relatively constant temperature with almost no changes, the flushing goes away and my skin looks decent(?) enough. I still haven't even used half of this huge jar of cream. At this rate, it'll last me a year. It's really an amazing value for the price. And the moisturizing effect lasts a long time after application (a friend was surprised at how dewy my cheeks were hours after applying, and I realized I didn't even feel dryness). Around 6 months (2.2 morning, night) For some reason, if I apply too much, it seems to exacerbate the skin inflammation, so I just use an amount the size of my pinky nail. But it's the same with other products - if I use too much, my skin reacts poorly. The dermatologist said my every pore is inflamed, so using basic products or ointments can further irritate the inflammation (ointments are definitely irritating, so I can't use those). It does seem like I can't apply much of anything to my face because of the inflammation. But using just a pinky-nail's worth, my face stays comfortable, without heat or bumps. If I don't expose my face to cold winds, I don't even feel dryness, even with that tiny amount. And maybe because I'm using so little, I still haven't even used half the jar. Around 6.5 months (2.18 morning, night) Up until now, I've been applying just a pinky-nail's worth of this cream all over my face, but today I used about double that amount. I tried to control the indoor temperature and humidity, and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent flushing (but I failed at managing emotional flushing and diet...). However, the sudden heat flashes on my face have become much more severe, and the heat takes a long time to subside once it comes up. As I pondered the reason, I started to suspect it might be due to unnoticed dryness. Even when I use just a small amount of this cream, I don't feel dryness, but when I touch my skin, it feels almost completely bare and powdery. And after some time, when I apply the cream again, So this time I applied twice the usual amount all at once. No issues with my skin... I heard somewhere that if there's almost nothing left when you touch the skin after absorbing the skincare, you should increase the amount you use. But I was wondering why the heat would come back after reapplying the cream. Then I read somewhere that if the skin is dry and the air is dry too, the skin tries to draw moisture from itself, causing irritation and flushing. It's not from dry air, but... Anyway, it seems my skin needed more moisture, and the heat that came back after reapplying the cream might have been for this reason. I'll try using a bit more of the cream for a few days and see if it keeps going well, then I'll write another review. And I bought a hydrating gel to use before this cream - hopefully they'll work well together. (3.14) Due to poor dietary and lifestyle habits, my skin inflammation has worsened recently, so I'm only using the Sidmool Decon Gel as my basic skincare. (I'm the type whose skin is really affected by food and sleep.) And I feel like I haven't even used half of the jar in 6 months... It'll probably last me a year... Conclusion ✔ Texture: Between lotion and cream (a rich, creamy lotion) ✔ Application: Very smooth and soft ✔ Finish: Sticky -> Soft, refreshing (no heavy, stuffy feeling on the face during application) ✔ Absorption: Very slow -> Medium -> Fast -> Very fast (strangely, it was seriously slow only on the first day, and got faster over time) ✔ Fragrance: Almost unscented ✔ Moisture:Oil ratio = 6:4 (highly subjective) ✔ It's marketed as a moisturizing cream for dry skin, but it may be a bit oily for very dry skin types. I prefer moisturizing creams with a lighter, less greasy texture, and this one has relatively high moisturizing power despite my combination/dry skin type. The moisture level is much better than the previous cream I used (Secret Plant Lovely Cream green), but since my skin's natural moisture level is already high, using this cream actually brought my moisture level back to the normal range (Before use: average 100, peak 120 / After use: average 80 / Stable moisture level: 60-80).
ConsThe capacity is really large. It's not a spatula-embedded product, but I'm using the spatula at home. If the capacity (500g) is this much, a pump-type would probably be better. The sticker design on the container seemed to have a hanji-like feel, so I thought something was stuck on it and scrubbed it hard...I was about to scold the company for sending such a dusty product, but haha. It came out as a cream for dry skin, but even though I have dry skin, I felt it had a bit of oiliness to it, so I put it on blotting paper. After morning cleansing, I immediately put it on the blotting paper, and after evening cleansing (10 hours later), the amount that came out was about that much. By the way, after applying it to my face after morning cleansing and absorption, I used blotting paper on my face, and the blotting paper was overall lightly soaked in oil. However, for me who extremely dislikes the oiliness remaining on the face after absorption, this cream is satisfactory in terms of the oil remaining on the face after absorption. ...I suspect the feeling of oiliness was because my skin's inflammation level was high at the time. My skin's oil content increased as the inflammation increased. Anyway, I now think this cream has less oiliness and is suitable for oily skin..haha
Tip《Ingredients that don't match me》 PEG-containing ingredients, lavender oil, mineral water, seawater, centella asiatica extract (if it's the main ingredient), honey extract, tea tree extract, houttuynia cordata extract, galactomyces ferment filtrate, cocamidopropyl betaine, potassium cocoate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, -acid ⚠️Please don't use steroids carelessly⚠️ Dermatologists don't tell you whether the medication, ointment, or injection you're taking is a steroid. I also didn't know that the medication, ointment, and injection I was taking were steroids, and I just used them because they worked, especially the ointment, which I applied intermittently but for about 6 months (or even longer). But at some point, the steroid ointment I had been using became completely ineffective. Then I had to increase the strength of the steroid ointment. It's a vicious cycle......I realized too late that what I had been using was a steroid, so I completely stopped using steroids before increasing the ointment strength. And now I'm suffering from steroid-induced rosacea on my left cheek due to chronic contact. It took a long time to restore the skin barrier that was completely destroyed by steroids.
