Provides Cooling Effect

Not Oily

Soothing

Lightweight

Doesn't Sit on Skin

Whether you use a fan or air conditioning, it feels amazingly cool when applied!

Given its gel consistency, I think a tube container would be better than a jar. It's not as thick as a cream, so a tube would likely keep it less prone to contamination.

Purchased on June 12, 2024. As someone with combination skin, I'm extremely satisfied with this as a summer moisturizer. The value for money is incredible! It's a translucent gel that absorbs well and has excellent application. It has a refreshing citrus scent that's perfect for summer use. After applying, I felt so much cooler when I turned on the fan.

While the staying power could be a bit better, it's not too bad overall, so I think it's still pretty good!

It has low oil content and a cooling effect! Great for use both morning and evening

No matter how much you apply, it never pills, feels sticky, or fails to absorb. I layer it thickly over a single layer of toner and essence, almost like a modeling mask.

After applying, I'll do something else like dry my hair or apply body lotion. Then, without wiping off the cream, I'll gently pat it in with my hands or a sponge. This makes my face feel ice-cold, which I love. When your face temperature drops, it definitely helps with makeup application.

As you spread the cream, you'll notice the surface feeling slightly dry. At this point, it seems to absorb any remaining oil from previous steps, leaving your skin perfectly balanced.

It creates an excellent base for makeup, and by cooling the skin, it significantly improves makeup longevity.

Given its affordable price, I'd recommend everyone give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised!

There's honestly nothing bad to say about it. I've used it so much that I wish it came in a larger tube!

My skin type is extremely oily and prone to breakouts. I even struggle with sunscreen due to my skin's heat sensitivity.

I initially went to The Saem to buy some glitter, but the store manager strongly recommended this cream. Despite my reluctance, I bought it due to its affordable price. Surprisingly, I ended up using 3 tubes just this summer!

It's a transparent gel with a viscous texture and a fresh, zesty scent. The moment you apply it, you feel an instant cooling sensation on your fingertips.

This cream has virtually no oiliness and isn't particularly hydrating. However, when layered over multiple layers of toner or essence, it acts like a barrier cream, locking in the skin's moisture without being too heavy. It makes the skin's surface feel incredibly firm and slightly fills in pores, which is why I used it so much before makeup this summer.

As someone with extremely oily skin, I've always been disappointed that I couldn't use creams even after toners and essences. But with this one, I can apply it generously without any pilling, and it absorbs completely. It's truly amazing!

After cleansing on days with lots of outdoor activity, applying this generously gives a great cooling effect!

It absorbs quickly, so if you have combination dehydrated skin, it's good to apply a rich cream after this one.

The price was so good that I was worried the ingredients might not be great. But after researching, I found there were no harmful ingredients, so I immediately bought two. I'm satisfied because the scent isn't artificial, but a natural, fresh fragrance that suits my taste. When you apply it, you instantly feel a cool sensation. The texture seemed thick, but it actually absorbs quickly even if you apply a generous amount. I use it as an essence or booster for my combination dehydrated skin. I definitely plan to repurchase!

It doesn't seem to provide enough hydration. You might need to apply something additional.

It absorbs well and quickly, with reduced oiliness, which is great. It also helps calm redness.

It feels a bit dry when used alone, so I applied a richer cream on top of this. However, I think it might be enough on its own during the summer months.

I always check the ingredients before buying, and this one is so gentle! It's perfect for cooling down my skin before makeup, especially since I have redness. It definitely helps reduce the heat in my skin.

It seems to suit my skin type perfectly, so I don't really have any major complaints.

I really like how lightweight it feels. Ever since I first tried it, I've been using this exclusively. It's great!

The first and most disappointing aspect is the packaging - being a jar format, there is a risk of impurities getting into the product, which is a hygiene concern. Secondly, I found this cream to be slightly drying when used on its own. I only use it as an additional step when my skin is irritated from makeup or on very hot days.

As the name suggests, this cream is truly refreshing. The cream does not sit on the surface, but is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving it feeling moisturized. I can feel my irritated, heated skin gradually calming down as I apply it. Personally, I found the cream to have a very smooth, non-sticky application. And as I mentioned, it is incredibly refreshing - not a burning or intense sensation, just a pleasant coolness.

🌜Nighttime Routine
Cleanse (Deep Cleansing Oil - Apieu Deep Cleansing Foam) - Sionik Simple Toner (Wipe 3 times) - The Saem Calamansi Cream - Sionik...the black-capped cream. Done.

🌞Morning Routine 
Use La Roche-Posay Mist (Pore Minimizing Mist) with cotton pads - Apply Dokdo Lotion 3 times - Use...Mudra, the blue cream mist 2-3 times. Done, then apply makeup!

This is the skincare routine I followed based on Director Pai's tips for combination skin! My skin has become more hydrated even though I have combination skin!!!
Definitely check it out, fellow combination skin types!

It would have been nice if it came in a tube, but I'm still satisfied with the cute jar packaging.

I highly recommend this to those with mature and wise skin!
I have combination skin. My T-zone and cheeks always have a few blemishes, but my skin is not particularly sensitive.
After washing my face, I do feel some stinging, but one day I tried this cream at a friend's place and it immediately soothed the stinging and absorbed into my skin lightly without any stickiness.
The scent is so lovely that I just want to keep applying it under my nose.
In the winter, those with drier skin may need an additional moisturizer, but in the summer, this one product can effectively:
1. Control oiliness
2. Calm the skin
3. Remove excess sebum
I found that this cream prevented my blemishes from appearing after using it.

I think using this product together with other items from the same line helped enhance the effects.

After applying it, I felt a slight dryness and lack of moisture shortly after.

The cream itself is lightweight and smooth, making it perfect for summer use. And since it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients, I felt even more reassured using this product. Moreover, after being out in the hot sun all day, I would cleanse my face and apply this cream lightly, and it would help cool me down and provide a refreshing feeling, so I made sure to use it every morning and evening. The citron scent was also very pleasant and did not bother me at all.
