Pros
I have been using the Vitamin Booster Cream Body Lotion Perfume and I really enjoy using various products. For my dry and sensitive skin, this product has been very satisfactory in terms of providing good moisture and a creamy texture that I prefer. It absorbs well, and since my skin tends to absorb products quickly, I generally prefer thicker, more viscous toners, serums, etc. I apply it morning and night, and it maintains sufficient moisture. When I apply it in the evening and go to sleep, I can feel the oiliness return to my face in the morning, which I like.
Cons
The downside is the small volume, but it lasts a long time. Also, the jar packaging is inconvenient. The floral scent may be divisive - personally, I'm not a big fan of floral fragrances. While it's subtle, there are times when the scent can be irritating and give me a headache, so I sometimes skip using it.

Pros
My oily skin absorbs this product really well. There's no sticky residue at all, and I've been using it for over two weeks now. My acne has decreased significantly and my skin tone has improved noticeably.
Cons
I'm not sure why, but my face feels a bit stinging and irritated. I bought this as a moisturizer, but even though I have very oily skin, it leaves a drying feeling, so I'm planning to get a separate morning moisturizer.

Pros
The scent is pleasant. It is not oily and absorbs quickly. It has good spreadability.
Cons
It lacks moisture for use in the winter. It seems to be a simple cream that is suitable for use in the summer. While it did not cause any breakouts, there were no particularly noticeable effects.

Pros
I am currently using the dry version of this product, as the product itself is not available here, so I am writing about it here. My skin type is combination, leaning towards oily. 1. The usage experience is good for the current season. It has a pearl-like, creamy texture that finishes without being too greasy and absorbs well. 2. I personally like the fragrance as well. It has a luxurious scent. 3. When I apply it at night and go to sleep, my face feels smooth and supple the next day.
Cons
1. Even though it's for dry skin, it was still drying in the winter... I bought it around November, but couldn't use it due to the dryness, and only started using it again around May, which was better. 2. It seems to have exfoliating properties, which may be why there's a slightly stinging sensation when applying it. 3. The price is also on the higher side, and the ingredients don't seem particularly great. Overall impression: If you're looking for a deeply moisturizing product, you may be dissatisfied. It seems to be more effective for addressing rough skin texture and pore refinement. I likely won't repurchase.

Pros
It's being used, but it doesn't feel stuffy or sticky, and it absorbs right away. I use it mixed with a vitamin booster, and it's used without any burden.
Cons
There's no feeling of being completely moisturized. Even after applying, it feels like I need to apply more. I only use it in the morning before makeup, not in the evening. It feels light enough to apply before makeup.

Pros
My skin is generally combination skin with a bit of sensitivity. I came across this nourishing cream and have been using it - it has great spreadability and moisturizing power, leaving my skin feeling plump and bouncy. It's not a lightweight moisturizer, but it's also not an oily cream either, it's just the right balance of a great cream.
Cons
While it doesn't cause any breakouts, it does have a bit of a pilling effect like regular nourishing creams.
Tip
I'd recommend using only a small amount in the morning. In the evening, you can apply a more generous amount. To maximize absorption, it's best to apply it right after your toner and gently pat it in.

Pros
When I first applied it, I thought it was a cream that absorbed well without any stickiness, making it easy to apply lightly.
Cons
It's fine when I don't wear makeup, but when I try to apply a base and foundation after putting on the cream, it gets cakey.

Pros
The cream was a translucent white and looked incredibly rich, but when applied, it absorbed quickly into a lightweight formula. When the cosmetics ran out and I couldn't apply them properly, I started getting acne. I heard the Bil** Hydrating Cream was good, so I tried it, but it immediately caused breakouts. I switched to Philosophy, and I'm now on my 4th bottle! I highly recommend it.
Cons
For dry skin types, the night version would probably be better. The regular one seems a bit lightweight for dry skin.

Pros
The texture is similar to the Belief Moisture Cream, with a slightly thick cream-like consistency, but the absorption is better than other similar moisture creams from other brands. As a dry and oily skin type, I prefer a product that provides long-lasting moisture without feeling greasy, and so far I'm quite satisfied with this one. The fragrance is almost non-existent and mild.
Cons
It seems to be a cream that suits both normal and oily skin types well. However, it would be better if the price was a bit more affordable.
Tip
It's best to apply a small amount thinly and let it absorb, so that it doesn't clump up too much when applying base makeup.

Pros
It absorbs really quickly and doesn't feel greasy or powdery after application. The scent is quite strong, like a perfume? It may be divisive. The texture is very lightweight and seems suitable for summer use. Recommended for those with oily or combination skin.
Cons
As I have quite dry and sensitive skin, I felt tightness on my face shortly after application, and the strong scent even gave me a headache. My skin also broke out in serious blemishes due to the dryness... Not recommended for dry skin types. I tried mixing it with oil, but it still felt like it wasn't absorbing well into my face.
