This lightweight hydrating emulsion is free from oils and silicones, making it safe for oily and blemish-prone skin. Its light texture absorbs well, leaving your skin feeling fresh without any greasiness - perfect as a base before makeup. Despite its lightweight formula, it provides excellent hydration, ideal for hot summers or humid rainy seasons. As an oil-free product, it tackles deep dryness while keeping the skin's surface fresh all day. Unlike other oil-free products that can feel drying, Paula's Choice balances skin texture and deep moisture, keeping you hydrated throughout the day. It's helped reduce the frequency of small blemishes and improved my overall complexion. If you're looking for a refreshing, moisturizing emulsion, I highly recommend this.
Cons
The price seems a bit high for the small amount you get, and it might be slightly drying during fall and winter months.
Tip
On days when my skin feels particularly dry, I use the Paula's Choice product on my oily T-zone and a richer emulsion on drier areas.

It's great for light application and seems perfect for those with oily skin
Cons
There wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but if I had to pick something, I'd say it's a bit on the pricey side

Hello, this is Siwol :) The summer season is actually a very hot and humid weather due to the rising temperature and the scorching sunshine, or a weather where it rains all day long, making you feel like you're living underwater. It's one of these two types of weather. Depending on your skin type, it may vary a bit, but that's why in the summer season, there is more sebum production compared to other seasons, so it seems like we receive a lot of stress :( I have a combination skin, but in the summer, it becomes oily, and the sebum just keeps flowing out of my skin. That's why I'd like to introduce you to the Polarity Choice Clear Oil-Free Moisturizer that I've been using a lot lately. The Clear Oil-Free Moisturizer, as the name suggests, is oil-free. It's a moisturizer without any oily feeling. So it's great to use in the hot July and August. I've actually been using it consistently recently. The texture is in between a lotion and a cream, and the finish is very refreshing :) Not only does it feel very clean, but it also doesn't give the impression that the moisture is quickly evaporating, which was quite surprising. True to Polarity Choice, it's also packed with antioxidant ingredients, so if niacinamide agrees well with your skin, I strongly recommend this moisturizer as a summer hydrator :)
Cons
In the winter, the moisture might be lacking, but in the summer, this is the best!

It's nice to apply lightly in the evening and go to bed. I used it often in seasons other than winter.
Cons
I've been taking a break from using it because it feels dry in the winter.

It's good that there's no oil and the ingredient composition with panthenol, ceramides, and the like is solid.
Cons
It may be a bit too lightweight. Oily skin types are recommended. The volume and price are still a bit of a downside, though.

At first, even though it was a moisturizing skin type, it felt a bit dry, but after the skin barrier recovered to some extent, I found that it was not particularly dry when applied. This is a good product for oily skin types to use in the summer, but it is not an extremely hydrating product at the same time. For skin types that are not oily, it may feel dry when used alone. If you are looking for an oil-free lotion available in Korea, this could be a good option.
Cons
I thought it could have had a bit more moisturizing power. However, since it is an oil-free product, it seems difficult to expect more moisturizing power than this.
Tip
When the skin feels a bit dry, you can mix in 1-2 drops of a 100% squalane product, which is also good for oily skin types, to this product to help alleviate the dryness a bit.

Even after thinking about it, I can't really find anything bad. If I had to pick one, maybe the design?
Cons
It's thick and doesn't spread well, and when applied, it feels irritating and leaves a white cast. Moreover, it completely fails at its basic function as a moisturizer, leaving my skin extremely dry. This is the worst moisturizer I've ever used and a misstep by the brand.

This is quite good, it has relatively less greasiness. I like it.
Cons
It's a bit of a shame that there is some whitening. It has a bit of whitening.

The transparent formula feels moisturizing and lightweight, making it suitable for summer use or for oily skin types.
Cons
It's both a pro and a con - while it's good for oily skin, it can feel slightly drying.

I've tried all kinds of products from Olive Young, Dr.G, Biotherm, Lush, and more, but after using this, I don't get any more pimples. It's a lifesaver, so I've been using it for 8 years now. It's oil-free but still feels refreshing and good for my oily skin.
Cons
The price is not worth the small amount of product. Aside from that, everything else is fine. I only buy it when it's on sale.
