It's a good deal when on sale. Using it with the mugwort ampoule seems to have a soothing effect.
ConsFor those with dry skin, it may not stay moisturized until morning. The lasting power is a bit disappointing.

Cons🌫 Lacks Lasting Hydration There is no feeling of moisture or a hydrating film after application It feels more like applying a slightly thicker functional lotion 🌫 Questionable Soothing Effects Since there are no active breakouts or inflamed acne at the moment, it may be due to that, but compared to using La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5, I didn't notice significant soothing effects. There was no noticeable difference even in the morning after using it. 🌫 The product performance feels a bit lacking compared to the premium packaging. I likely wouldn't purchase it at the full price of 35,000 won.
Tip💫 It may not be a bad option to use in the summer as it doesn't feel heavy. 💫 Since the hydration level is not very high, it's best to have a sufficient skincare routine and use this as the final step.

However, it turned out to have a subtle mugwort aroma, which I actually found quite pleasant. It gave me a reassuring feeling of having real mugwort in the product. ➰Texture It's not a lightweight cream that you can just slather on. Please note that it's heavier than essences and ampoules, but lighter than heavy winter moisturizers. This product comes with a spatula, but I found it easy to apply with my hands. The cream feels quite dense and bouncy when I touch it with my fingers. ➰Spreadability Since it's a dense and bouncy product, it's not difficult to spread it across the face. It applies smoothly and evenly when I dot it on my face and gently pat it in. ➰Absorption Once I've applied it and patted it in a few times, the cream gets absorbed into my skin quickly. It doesn't leave a greasy or tacky finish on the surface. ➰Hydration It felt very moisturizing when I first applied it. Even though I have combination skin, it still kept my skin adequately hydrated after application. My skin seemed to retain the moisture well.
Cons➰Oiliness Since I tend to have oily skin, especially on my nose, it does get a bit shiny and greasy-looking after some time. That's the only downside I noticed. ➰Longevity I'm not entirely sure if it maintains the intense moisturizing effect for a long time. The hydration seems to diminish somewhat as time passes. ➰Soothing It claims to have a soothing effect, but after using it for 2 weeks, I haven't noticed any significant calming or soothing benefits. There's no visible difference in that regard. ➰Amount After using it for about 2 weeks, I'm already starting to see the bottom of the jar. The amount seems a bit on the smaller side. I wish they would release a larger size version!
TipMorning: After cleansing, apply a small amount 2-3 times to get a more hydrated result. Evening: Before bed, use a more generous amount to really drench your skin in moisture!

I used the mugwort essence for 5 bottles and liked it, so I also used the ampoule. I was very satisfied with both products, so I purchased the moisturizer as soon as it was released. I didn't experience any breakouts. That's the only good thing about it.
ConsIt's not as satisfying as the ampoule or essence. Ampoules and essences are focused on the active ingredients, so I think a cream should have longer-lasting moisturizing and hydrating effects. But aside from the different formulations, there wasn't a significant difference, and the calming effect I enjoyed most in the essence was actually reduced.
TipNone. I just use it since I don't have any breakouts.

With the dryness, small bumps have been consistently appearing on my forehead, cheeks, and chin, and I also often experience inflammatory breakouts, so my skin is quite problematic. ✔️Review of the Product: The product has a fairly viscous texture, and when applied, a slight oiliness can be felt. However, it has enough moisturizing properties that even dry or combination skin types would feel the hydration. The scent is reminiscent of herbal remedies found in a sauna. ✔️User Experience: Overall, my skin felt comfortable, and I didn't experience any worsening of my breakouts. While it wasn't particularly effective for major inflammatory breakouts, I did feel a slight soothing effect on smaller, clogged pores.
Cons✔️Downside: The product doesn't seem to provide long-lasting hydration for my dry skin... When I apply it before bed and wake up in the morning, I can feel a bit of dryness. So those with severely dry skin may want to take this into consideration. ☀️Overall: The cream seems gentle, and personally, I couldn't find any major pros or cons. It was a fairly unremarkable cream. But for someone with problematic skin like mine, finding even a mediocre cream that doesn't exacerbate the issues is quite appreciated.
Tip🌟 This isn't related to the product, but for those struggling with clogged pores and small bumps, I highly recommend the 'Dermothereapy' Cica Soothing Essence Toner. As far as I know, it's only available on Coupang, but this toner is truly amazing. I'm currently using the Dermothereapy toner, followed by the Torriton Essence, and then the Gae Ddong Ssuk Cream (a gentle moisturizer), and after switching to this toner and gentle cream, my skin has become much more soothed.
