Pros
I thought the formula was rich and moisturizing.
Cons
As expected, it caused breakouts since it contained glitters. It was way too rich, but no matter how much I applied, I couldn't feel any moisture - it just left an oily residue on my skin. I had to wash my face multiple times after applying sunscreen because it left a residue. I bought it based on my mom's recommendation, but I likely won't purchase it again.

Pros
Mary Kay products are cheaper in the US than in Korea, so I bought a few Mary Kay cosmetics, including the Intense Moisturizing Cream, when I went to the US. I had used it before and it was good, so I bought it again this time. I'll use it since it's affordable, but the price in Korea is a bit high. At this price range, there are so many affordable and good products in Korea that I don't think I'll buy and use it anymore. By the way, it's very rich, so it's a bit heavy to use in the summer and I sometimes felt a bit stuffy. So I mainly use it in the winter. Even though I have dry skin, I don't use it much in the summer. In the dry winter, it makes my skin sufficiently moisturized and good.
Cons
When I applied this, my eyes felt strange and stinging. But my skin didn't break out or have any trouble, so I just avoided my eyes and used it. But when I checked the ingredients on the Hwahae app, I was surprised - there are some bad ingredients... Based on the ingredients, I don't think I'll buy it again.

Pros
The moist and dense texture seems suitable for those with dry skin. However, it seems the absorption is a bit lacking...
Cons
It's moisturizing, but a bit heavy. I thought it was good, but the ingredients are different from what I expected.

Pros
The texture is a bit thick and creamy. When applied before bedtime, I feel like my skin looks better the next day. You need to apply it with a bit of pressure to spread it evenly. I want to buy it again.
Cons
It's a bit greasy, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't linger. It seems like an oily product, haha. That's why the amount you use needs to be adjusted carefully.

Pros
1. The texture is a bit thick, but it has a nice bouncy feel to it. 2. The fragrance is present but not overpowering. 3. It applies richly at first but absorbs quickly.
Cons
1. Oh no, this also contains parabens... 2. When used after the Lirikosu Collagen Ampoule, it doesn't absorb well and tends to sit on the surface. March 20th update: Even the slightest contact with my eyes makes them red and irritated, so I gave it back to my mom. She says it's fine for her, but it doesn't seem to agree with me. Revising my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Pros
It contains pearl-like ingredients, so after application, it leaves a lustrous, pearl-like glow. It has a rich, creamy texture, so it's better to scoop out a generous amount and spread it on gently for a smooth, comfortable application.
Cons
It's quite drying, and the moisturizing power was just average. I applied it in the morning, but by the afternoon, my skin felt very tight. It's not cheap, and while they've removed some harmful ingredients, they could still improve on that. I don't plan to repurchase this.
Tip
This product would likely be more suitable for those with oily yet dry skin types.

Pros
I'm quite dry, and this is one of the products I reluctantly purchased through a friend's recommendation. I like creamy textures, and when I apply it after cleansing in the morning, it keeps my skin feeling moisturized all day. At first, it may feel a bit sticky, but it absorbs quickly. It's great to use before makeup.
Cons
If I had to point out a downside, it would be that you need to spread it out evenly with your hands, as it can feel a bit thick.
Tip
If you apply it before your serum or ampoule has fully absorbed, it can feel a bit heavy. It works best when applied after your other skincare products have been fully absorbed.

Pros
I have sensitive/combination/troubled skin. It's close to oily, but my upper body is always hot, so I'm constantly pulled by dryness and my skin is always flaky, but at the same time, the oil is running out, which is not a good condition. This product has a slightly ointment-like, sticky texture, and I was able to spread it quickly with the warmth of my hands, so the spreadability was good by my standards. It doesn't feel quickly absorbed and dried, nor does it feel excessively oily and shiny. After it's completely absorbed, it stays moisturized for quite a long time. When I wake up, it feels soft and supple. Normally, this type of formula feels stuffy and the T-zone becomes extremely oily over time, but there was no such stuffiness or oiliness, and the oil-moisture balance was just right, and my skin didn't develop any trouble. If no problems arise, I plan to repurchase.
Cons
This product contains shimmering micro-pearls. While it may be a personal preference, the fact that the pearls remained after removing my makeup was a bit disappointing; I think I would have been more satisfied if they weren't there. Also, while I'm aware that the ingredients are not as 'clean' as some of the natural cosmetics that have been coming out lately, the reason I bought this product is that I can't fully trust those 'clean' products either, as I've tried them and my skin ended up getting upset or I wasn't satisfied. When I tried the sample of this product, the skin condition, moisturizing power, and hydration were good for me, so I bought it when it was affordable. That's why I wish the ingredients were a bit cleaner.
Tip
There was a spatula included, which is good for hygiene. As everyone knows, with the thick formula, it's best to fully absorb it using the warmth of your palms.
