However, this is a product that can give you that 'holy grail' feeling for a while. I say this because I think I'll continue using this product even as my skin gets drier with age. I started using this product after hearing good things about it from those around me. In my research, I found that this was one of the least oily products, so I gave it a try. Now, I've stopped making my own creams and am on my second bottle of this product. I haven't been able to review it for a while since I stopped using other commercial products. Looking at the ingredients, there's hardly any oil. The main active ingredients that directly affect the skin are glycerin, panthenol, and caprylic... just those three. Caprylic... that's an oil, but it's listed after panthenol, so the oil content is probably no more than 5%. This product contains 5% panthenol. The rest are just additives like texture, emulsifiers, and preservatives. But as they say, panthenol is very hydrating, and this product does feel very moisturizing and cooling. However, with minimal oil, this may not be enough for more mature skin. I don't use this alone either. There are two types of moisturizers - occlusive and humectant. Occlusive is mostly oil-based. In other words, there's hardly any occlusive moisturizing here. Personally, I apply this and then mix in some jojoba oil, vitamin E, and squalane as a face oil. It's also great under sunscreen, as it's non-oily and very hydrating. Among the sunscreens I like, the ones that are too oily or drying work well with this. In theory, this should work for both oily and mature skin types. But individual skin may react differently.
ConsIt's quite thick. I've seen reviews saying this can be problematic. The thickness makes it hard to spread evenly on the face. I don't really like that feeling of the product sliding around. Probably has to do with the xanthan gum in the formulation.

Before using it, I suffered a lot from sudden adult acne and milia. I have combination skin, with an oily T-zone but an overall dry and tight face. After using it for a week, my skin has improved by about 70%. There's no oil product, so it doesn't clog pores or cause excessive sebum, which is great. I just placed another order. I've tried various Sidmool products, and this cream-type one is the gentlest and best. The ingredients aren't heavily mixed, which is good, and the packaging is cute and compact, so it's great for traveling.
ConsI wish they made a larger size. It's the usual issue with the product size. One bottle lasts me about a month, so having to buy one every month doesn't feel very cost-effective... Also, for those with dry skin, this product can be a bit drying. It's best to apply an essence or ampoule with more hydrating properties after using this.
TipThis pairs well with the Sidmool Panthenol Ampoule. Mixing it with a hydrating ampoule and applying it is a winning combination!

I usually get breakouts whether the product is too oily or not oily enough, but this one really helped with the dehydration. It felt better than the Ultra. I didn't have any breakouts and I liked it a lot.
ConsThe amount is too little. I wish they had a larger size... And it's expensive....
TipLet's use it sparingly.

As soon as I applied it, I felt it immediately moisturize my skin from within. It adheres well without feeling heavy and is quickly absorbed, leaving a clean finish. The cream is non-greasy, so it doesn't make my bangs oily, which I like.
ConsAfter some time, it started to feel a bit dry, so I had to reapply the cream or mix it with a bit of an oil balm. The cream alone was not quite enough for me~
TipFor those of us with very dry skin, the moisture level may be a bit lacking. Mixing it with an oil and applying it helps improve the spreadability and leaves the skin feeling more moisturized and supple.

When I use the Calendula Ampoule Toner and then this moisturizer, my skin becomes so soft and supple - I love it.๐ The texture is quite dense. It doesn't feel runny. Compared to the Madagascar Real Moisture Cream, this definitely has less oil buildup and absorbs faster. That's why I use this one in the morning. There's no irritation, no unpleasant fragrance, and it doesn't cause any breakouts. I don't feel burdened at all using this!๐ฎ The low oil content and comfortable feel are the main advantages!
ConsCompared to the Real Moisture Cream, this feels a bit sticky. You'll notice little dust particles after applying it.ใ ใ ใ ใ Also, the dense texture makes it difficult to spread a small amount, which is a downside. For example, if I just want to add extra moisture under my eyes, the Real Moisture Cream's texture allows me to squeeze out a small amount, spread it evenly, and gently pat it in. But with this product, if I try to do that, the product dries up by the time I'm done spreading it with my fingers. But I can't just squeeze out a lot either, that wouldn't make sense... The price is also a bit high considering the functionality and volume.ใ ใ
TipThis pairs well with the Calendula Ampoule Toner.๐

Contains no greasy ingredients that can cause acne flare-ups. The formula is gentle and agreeable. Overall, a good product.
ConsToo small...the amount seems suitable only for winter use, given the price.
