I've only been using moisturizers until now, but seeing the reduction in closed comedones while using this, I think I might have had enough hydration but was lacking in oil balance. The texture is slightly thick, like an emulsion, not a runny formula. I was worried about getting cystic acne since I've only used moisturizers before, but that didn't happen. Instead, almost all of my closed comedones disappeared. After application, it feels like there's an oil film and it seems less absorbed, but that feeling remains until morning. Even with my combination dehydrated skin, I never suddenly developed cystic acne while using this.
ConsI wouldn't recommend this for people with severe cystic acne or extremely oily skin. It might be a bit too rich for them.
TipI make sure to fully hydrate my skin and then apply this product, or I apply a very thin layer of this over my moisturizer, almost like I'm sealing everything in. If you keep getting closed comedones but your skin barrier isn't compromised (meaning closed comedones don't decrease even with consistent use of barrier creams), it could be due to an imbalance in oil and moisture like in my case. In that situation, you should apply a product like this as the last step to balance your skin's oil and moisture levels.

I'm a woman in my 20s with combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes. My skin is quite challenging to manage, as blemishes tend to appear quickly when I'm tired. I'm thrilled to say that this cream suits my skin perfectly, and I'm happily using it! For those of us with oily yet dehydrated skin, it's crucial to have a product that locks in moisture effectively, and this cream really shines in that aspect. It's not heavy at all and absorbs well, but the hydration lasts for such a long time! Even with just a small amount, you can feel the moisturizing effect lingering. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all. As someone with oily skin, I have to be careful about creams causing blemishes, but fortunately, this one doesn't contain any pore-clogging ingredients. It's been a perfect match for my skin without causing any breakouts. I think this cream would be suitable even for those with super sensitive skin - it's a very versatile and gentle product!
ConsThe only downside I can think of is that it's quite pricey. If it were just a bit more affordable... I'd definitely make it a permanent part of my routine!

I was worried the texture might be heavy and thick since it's supposed to be very moisturizing, but it's not at all! While very thick formulas can be hydrating, they often have poor absorption and might irritate the skin during application. However, this one applies incredibly smoothly! It still leaves a nice, firm finish that doesn't evaporate quickly, but really holds onto the skin, which I absolutely loved. As a result, the hydration lasts for a long time. I think the hygienic packaging is a major selling point. After trying many products, I've realized that these small details can really boost the desire to purchase. I appreciated that it has a lid and a pump dispenser. The scent is similar to an ointment? It's not irritating at all, and it smells like an unscented body cream, so I could apply it without any concerns.
ConsIf I had to nitpick, I wish the size was bigger. I hope they release a larger version. Also, while the moisturizing effect lasts long without evaporating, I noticed it's quite rich in oils. So I think it might be too much for those with very oily skin.
TipYou know how skincare products with a firm texture make makeup apply better, right?! When applied before makeup, it really helps the makeup go on smoothly.

Also, when you first dispense it, there's a medicinal scent like ointment, but this fades over time! It's not completely fragrance-free though.
Cons마무리 사용감이 기름막 같은 제품을 싫어하시는 분도 있을 것 같아서 이 부분은 호불호가 조금 생길 것 같네요ㅠ 그리구 처음 손에 덜었을 때, 연고 같은 약품향이 나는데 이향은 점점 사라져요! 완젼 무향은 아닌 것 같습니다ㅠ
TipThis cream doesn't seem suitable for use under makeup. I recommend applying it generously as a sleeping pack before bed!

You don't need to squeeze out a lot to cover your whole face. Still, since it has an expiration date, I'll make sure to use it diligently. The texture isn't thick or heavy, which I really like. Personally, I'm not a fan of heavy products, and while this one isn't super lightweight, it's not heavy either, making it comfortable to use. It didn't feel suffocating on my face at all! It absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth. As for blemishes, my skin can be quite unpredictable, so I'm usually cautious about what I apply. However, this product seems gentle, and I didn't experience any breakouts or skin reactions!
ConsEven though I'm not usually sensitive to scents, this one made me hesitate a bit... haha! It's tolerable for me, but those with sensitive noses might want to be careful. Also, the price was a bit disappointing, but it seems you can get it at a discounted rate if you buy it on Hwahae!

I got to try the Ectoin Derma Cream Ultra during this winter when my skin feels like it's about to crack from dryness! To be honest, although I have dry skin, I usually find super rich creams suffocating and itchy. So I was a bit worried about the Ectoin cream, but those concerns were unfounded! The texture is surprisingly light yet provides just the right amount of hydration. It's perfect for both morning and night use. When I apply it before bed, I don't wake up feeling tight or lacking moisture. The scent is completely neutral - maybe a slight medicinal aroma? As someone who doesn't like fragrances in skincare, I was quite satisfied. The packaging is also very compact and convenient, making it great for on-the-go. All in all, I'd say this is an excellent product that's well-suited for the dry season we're in right now.
ConsIf you're looking for a cream that provides rich nourishment beyond just hydration, you might be a bit disappointed.
TipAfter applying makeup, if you have any dry patches around your nose or mouth, try dabbing on a thin layer. It provides light hydration without disturbing your makeup!

The moisturizing effect is long-lasting, yet the texture isn't too thick - it feels just like a light emulsion!
ConsThe scent is quite unpleasant - it's somewhat like clay, and it's strong and lingers. It feels too oily for oily skin types - it's like there's a layer of oil on top, similar to sunscreen. After use, I developed small bumps - not blemishes, but slight textural irregularities that made me too scared to continue using it. This might be satisfying for those with dry skin.
TipAs someone with oily skin, I found it didn't suit my face, so I've been using it as a body emulsion instead!

Unlike jar-type packaging, I loved how cleanly it dispenses when you pump it. Looking at the ingredients, I thought it might apply thickly, but I was surprised by how well it absorbs - it goes on like a hydrating moisturizer. It feels great when applying and absorbs quickly. There's no stickiness! Plus, even with multiple applications, it didn't cause any blemishes, which was great. The clean ingredients seemed to prevent any breakouts too. If you've been stressed about acne, it might be worth giving this a try.
ConsI was surprised by how clinical the packaging looks - both the box and the case inside remind me of something you'd find at a pharmacy. Looking at the ingredients, it seems focused on hydration, but for my extremely dry skin, it felt a bit lacking in moisture during winter. Still, I think it would work well in other seasons. It doesn't seem to have extraordinary hydrating power.
TipYou're probably wondering if this product is worth buying at this price point. In my opinion, the value for money isn't great. I think you could find alternative products that work just as well.

For a week, I used [Skin-Ectoin] in the morning, and [Skin-Ectoin or sheet mask] in the evening as my basic routine. When blemishes appeared, I added a spot treatment product. First off, I'm completely satisfied with the product overall! The texture isn't a thick cream, but more like a moisturizing emulsion with a slight oiliness. It's on the thinner side, so it absorbs well! One pump is enough to apply a comfortably hydrating layer over the entire face. As the brand emphasizes, it has great hydration power. While using only Ectoin as my emulsion/moisturizer step, I didn't feel dry at all! It seems to have a good soothing effect when skin is dry or sensitive, being a gentle product. After application, it gives a natural Inner Glow, making skin look dewy and radiant.
ConsInitially, I was worried about blemishes due to the shea butter in the ingredients list, but I didn't experience any skin reactions or significant problematic blemishes! However, those with sensitive skin should still carefully check the ingredients. Also, when I looked into purchasing it after finishing this one, it felt a bit pricey for the amount. (But I'm still planning to buy it, that's how satisfied I am!)
TipSometimes after applying the cream by hand and letting it absorb, I noticed some texture marks when applying makeup. It's better to pat it in gently after spreading to ensure it absorbs without leaving any marks.

I have oily skin that gets extremely dry in winter. The most noticeable symptom is itching, but my skin felt really comfortable while applying this product, and I didn't feel any itchiness. After application, when I touch my skin, it feels like there's a moisturizing barrier, leaving it hydrated. Even with my oily skin, I didn't need to apply a large amount to feel sufficiently moisturized. The texture is great. It's a soft emulsion that's not too thick, spreads evenly without clumping, and has a nearly fragrance-free scent, making it comfortable to use. I didn't experience any blemishes. I have acne-prone, sensitive skin and was worried about some of the ingredients, but surprisingly, I didn't break out. Usually, if a product doesn't suit me, I start seeing tiny bumps around the third day, but it's been a week now and my skin is still smooth without any issues. It's my first time using skincare with ectoin, and it seems to work well for me.
ConsWhile it was fine in the evening, I noticed some pilling with my foundation in the morning when I needed to apply makeup. It's quite a hydrating product that leaves some residue, so if you don't control the amount well, your foundation can clump and pill. No matter how much I patted with a puff or my hands, it wouldn't adhere properly. If you have oily skin, I recommend applying only a small amount before makeup.
TipFor oily skin, I recommend applying it in the evening rather than during the day. If you apply it generously around your eyes, your skin will feel comfortable without any deep dryness even after waking up.
