  Pros

  I didn't have any particular issues. If anything, it was a bit of a relief that I was able to purchase it at a slightly discounted price when sold as a set with a night cream. I won't be buying this cream again. It may be different for oily skin types, but I have dry skin.

  Cons

  Despite applying an essence beforehand to prevent tightness, this cream was still too dry and tight for my dry skin. After applying it and doing my makeup, the cream would ball up and flake off like eraser dust. I would say this is an eye-irritating product that those with sensitive eyes should avoid.

  Pros

  The spreadability is good. I usually use the Primera moisture cream, and this one spreads similarly well. After applying, it feels like a protective layer has been put on.

  Cons

  1. Stinging sensation when applied: The Kiehl's moisture cream also did this, and the Kiehl's store employee said that it happens when the skin is dry; but the stinging sensation is still unpleasant and disliked. 2. Makeup doesn't apply well: Even when applying the right amount, the makeup often slides off like when applying BB cream ㅠㅠ 3. Tightness: I have a combination skin type, but I've started feeling a tightness that I didn't used to feel... After applying the right amount and doing my makeup to go to work, my face feels extremely dry before lunchtime ㅠㅠ

  Tip

  It seems that to prevent the tightness, I need to apply the essence generously, then the cream, and on top of that, another cream.

  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.
