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
Applies lightly and feels moisturizing. The fragrance is also good, and when applied, it feels smooth and moisturized.
Cons
Whether it's sunscreen, BB cream, or foundation, everything just slides off like mud. For days when you sweat a lot in the summer, I recommend applying it lightly before bedtime.

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
The spreadability was as smooth as whipped cream.^^ There was no stickiness at all, and it applied lightly and felt great.👍
Cons
In the morning, I shouldn't have applied it, as when I put on makeup after using this, the cream would get pushed out like clumps.ㅠㅠ

Pros
- 60ml / 49,000 won / jar type - With a shelf life of 15 months after opening, it has more volume than a regular moisturizer (50ml) and can be used for longer. - The product packaging is pretty. - The protective cap allows for more hygienic use. - In my opinion, the fragrance is similar to Ferrari Light Blue. - The texture may seem no different from a regular cream at first glance, but when applied to the back of the hand, it feels slightly firmer. - However, it is not viscous. - When applied to the face, it coats the skin thinly and densely. The oil content is just right. - As it is non-sticky, it leaves the skin soft and smooth. - It also had the effect of shrinking the pores. - It may be too heavy for oily skin, and not enough for dry skin. Therefore, it seems suitable for combination skin.
Cons
- It is not among the fastest absorbing creams. - Even without applying too much, it clumps up and gets pushed away, which is frustrating.. (I usually use a cream for 6-7 months) - I didn't feel the moisture, and about an hour later, my face felt tight. (Dry, dehydrated skin) - Although it was said to be the most suitable moisturizer for dry skin, it doesn't seem to be the case ㅠㅠ - Since it's a jar type, the active ingredients evaporate quickly. - No spatula included.
Tip
- Gave 3 stars since the 2.5 rating option was not available.
