After my previous product was discontinued, I tried and searched for various products, and finally found this one. - As it's a balm-type, it seems to effectively tackle dryness, and fortunately, it seems to agree with my skin well as I've been using it for a week without any issues!! - Even though I have extremely dry skin, I don't feel my face is dry at all throughout the day after applying it morning and night. Yet, it doesn't feel greasy either. - I only use sunscreen as my makeup base, and there's no pilling. - The texture is like a lip balm? It was my first time using a balm-type, and it felt like I was applying lip balm on my face at first, but I personally think the moisture-oil balance is well-maintained (thicker than lotion or cream, but less greasy and waxy than petroleum jelly). - The packaging looks premium, and the glass material looks nice. My sister asked if I bought an expensive product. ㅋㅋㅋ
ConsPersonally, I don't like the scent much ㅠ It has a slight petroleum-like or oily smell, along with a hint of lemon. And the 50ml container itself is smaller than I expected.
TipI highly recommend this to anyone with dry skin struggling during the seasonal change!!

Applying it at the end of your skincare routine, it melts into the skin to form a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss.
ConsThe product's features are quite straightforward, making it difficult to find any functions beyond its barrier properties. The artificial fragrance is quite strong.
TipWith sufficient hydration, this product can be applied without any issues.

ConsThe fragrance is not great, it has a mosquito repellent-like smell.

I'd recommend this more for dry skin types rather than oily skin. It's a product that I often reach for in the fall and winter.
ConsThe scent is a bit like oil, or maybe I should say it doesn't have a particularly pleasant fragrance. Those sensitive to scents should be cautious with this product. It may feel too heavy or oily for those with oily or combination skin types.
TipI usually only use this about once or twice a week in the evenings, when my skin is looking particularly dull and rough. Using it that way seems to maximize the benefits.

I tried it out a few nights before bed, and when I woke up in the morning, my skin felt supple and smooth without any tightness. Since it's a balm-type, it seems to work even better. Spreadability: As a balm-type, it's less slippery and greasy compared to lotions or creams, with a softer feel. Absorption, Usage: It absorbs really well, and I was surprised that there was no sticky residue at all. I have combination skin, and this product seems to work well for me. I haven't experienced any breakouts. I only use it at night, and haven't tried it during the day, but I think it could be used lightly under makeup without any issues. This is a great product for the fall and winter seasons. I highly recommend it!!
ConsThe scent has a slightly medicinal smell, but it's not unpleasant to me at all.

It applied smoothly and was not too heavy or burdensome for my combination skin. In fact, I didn't prefer night-type creams before~ They can feel too heavy and greasy, but this product was satisfying when I layered it multiple times. The moisture lasted a long time. This cream is suitable for the transitional seasons or the depths of winter.
ConsThe price could have been a bit more affordable. And since there are some cautionary ingredients, some may be concerned about that. The scent wasn't too bothersome for me, but it does have a slight rubbery smell.

Because of the smooth application, I'd give it a 5-star rating! It has a thick, ointment-like consistency, almost like a cream-type primer. Of course, it is a cream product!
ConsIt has a petroleum-like smell 😢 This is a very rare fragrance to find in cosmetics. Even though I don't have a very sensitive sense of smell, the odor made me feel compelled to write a review. For those who are sensitive to fragrances, be sure to test it before purchasing.
TipIt's very dry, so apply it like a primer on areas that tend to flake after your basic moisturizer. It doesn't feel heavy or cling to dry patches, and the hydration is great~

Because it's so soft, I tend to use a bit more of it. After applying, the surface becomes shiny at first, but the shininess goes away after a while, and the inner moisture remains, which is great. I've been using it not only on my face but also on my elbows and other dry areas, and the moisturizing effect is wonderful.
ConsThere's a slight stinging sensation in my eyes, so I've been avoiding the eye area when applying it. There's also a slight petroleum-like scent, but it's not too bothersome. The jar-type packaging makes it a bit inconvenient to use in a hygienic manner.

After all, it was just a 100-won product, so how good could it be? But when I looked at the cost price, I was pleasantly surprised... Although it's not an explosion of moisture for my almost dry skin, it's a perfectly satisfactory night-type cream. The oil content isn't too heavy, and it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling. It doesn't give the impression of a thick, occlusive layer like the photo shows, but rather feels like a regular cream that has been fully absorbed, leaving no heavy residue.
ConsThe ingredients don't seem to be that great, and the reviews aren't overwhelmingly positive... It's fine before makeup, but when using it alone at night, there's a slight lack of moisture. The scent is a bit ambiguous - it's not the pleasant fragrance of a good skincare product, but more of a medicinal smell. It's not overpowering, but those who prefer unscented products may find it irritating.
TipI find it's best to use a moisturizing product before bed and then apply a barrier balm on top to lock in the moisture and prevent it from evaporating.
