Pros
The Subuji Winter Cream is highly recommended! After applying and sleeping, you'll feel like your makeup applies well the next morning. It's great for when you've done a lot of exfoliation or when you're too lazy to apply multiple products.
Cons
Using too much can cause milia to appear, and the 'oily cream' name is a bit disappointing for those with dry skin as it may lack sufficient moisture.

Pros
Applying it before makeup makes your skin glow like honey and look really healthy!!!
Cons
If you apply a lot before bed, since it's an oil-based ampoule cream, there will be a lot of oiliness, and applying too much can cause breakouts
Tip
Apply a small amount before makeup

Pros
♥️Moisturizing Power This product is really quite good when it comes to moisturizing power alone. As I have combination skin, I sometimes feel a tightness, but this was really effective for that. When I mentioned that my skin gets dry sometimes in the winter, a friend who knew about it gifted me this product, and the oil effect turned out to be quite good, so I definitely feel the moisturizing is super strong after applying it. ♥️Spreadability Just a small amount spreads very well, so I was quite satisfied with it.
Cons
😅Absorption I only used this product as a night cream. After makeup cleansing, I dislike the tightness, so I used this product, but the absorption wasn't outstanding, so I still felt the heaviness up until right before bed. As I have sensitive and acne-prone skin, I've avoided oil-containing products so far, and I want to continue avoiding them going forward. 😅Breakouts It's been about 3 weeks since I started using it, and breakouts have increased significantly compared to before. My daily routine hasn't changed, but cystic acne has been popping up a lot. At first, I thought it was just PMS, but since my skin wasn't calming down, I stopped using this product and did an emergency pack treatment, and now it's in a better state.
Tip
I'd recommend this more to those with dry skin rather than my sensitive, acne-prone skin type. And if you prefer a lightweight, fresh feel rather than a heavy one, I'd suggest avoiding this product.

Pros
This product has a smooth, oily texture, just as the name suggests. As a dry-skinned person, I find it moisturizing and it seems to create a protective barrier. I didn't particularly notice any fragrance, and when I apply a generous amount at night, it feels like a sleeping pack.
Cons
Sometimes when I use it during the day, I get the occasional minor blemish, possibly due to the cream. The absorption seems a bit slower than expected, so I tend not to apply it before makeup.

Pros
Skin type: oily, sensitive, acne-prone I will post a review after using up a full sample before purchasing the full-size product, as it was recommended. 1. Texture The texture has a slight yellow tint and is smooth and silky. Even though it contains propolis, the texture is not overly thick. When applied and massaged into the skin, it feels moisturizing and soft. 2. Absorption The absorption was better than expected, being quite hydrating and absorbing quickly. Despite containing oil, it didn't take an excessive amount of time to fully absorb, falling somewhere in the middle range. After fully absorbing, foundation could be applied without pilling or slipping. 3. Moisturizing Power The initial application felt very hydrating, but the long-lasting moisturizing effect was not exceptional. In the winter, when I'm out and about, my face still feels a bit tight. Dry skin types may want to use an ampoule before this cream to enhance the lasting hydration and maintain a supple feel. On weekends when I'm mostly at home, the cream alone was sufficient without any tightness. 4. Acne Effects At first, the hydrating effect was nice, but after about 2 weeks of using it day and night, I started developing small bumps on my forehead. After that, I only used the cream when going out and stopped using it in the evenings, instead applying a hydrating mask, which helped calm the breakouts. 5. Packaging The sample packaging in a tube format was hygienic to use, but the full-size product comes in a jar, which is less ideal from a sanitary perspective.
Cons
1. Acne Bumps For the first 2 weeks or so, the hydrating effect was nice. But then suddenly, I started developing small bumps on my forehead. It seems the propolis or oil ingredients in this product don't agree with my skin. Not every cream works for every skin type, so I'd recommend trying a sample before purchasing the full-size product to test it out. 2. Moisturizing Power The moisturizing power on its own is not exceptionally long-lasting. Even for my oily skin, I felt some tightness when going out. Dry skin types may want to use an ampoule along with this cream for better hydration. Conversely, I likely won't use this in the summer. Given the oil content, it may make my already somewhat shiny skin even more greasy, and cause my foundation to break down faster.
Tip
If there's a sale on ampoules and creams at Olive Young, that could be a good time to purchase. However, be sure to test it out first before buying.

Pros
The application was quite nice, I'd say. Just the application. It's not refreshing, though. Since it's an oil-in-cream, it's a bit greasy.
Cons
As the dryness persisted during the winter, I bought this product thinking I should moisturize my skin that was developing trouble. To sum it up, I don't recommend it. I used this product thinking it would moisturize my dry skin with a compromised skin barrier, but as it contains oil, it completely messed up my skin. When I went to the CNP Dermatology clinic, they also said they don't recommend this product. I've always been confident about my skin, but this was a good experience.

Pros
I don't have any particular recommendations... but they say it's good for those who find it suitable.
Cons
The rating was surprisingly high, so I was surprised. Is there no 0-star option when rating? I had previously purchased the propolis ampoule and received a sample. Since the ampoule worked well for my skin, I thought the cream would also be a good match, but after using it, my entire face became a mess 😭 Red spots came up and there were bumps all over, and I thought I might have to go to a dermatologist 😢 If you're considering purchasing this cream and have sensitive skin like me, I'd recommend being cautious.

Pros
After doing my makeup and going out, I felt a bit dry and lacking in oil, so I applied the cream that I had tried and found to be the most moisturizing and long-lasting among the ones I had used.
Cons
After using it daily, I started getting skin issues. Looking at the ingredients, there seem to be some that can clog pores and some that are potentially risky, though I'm not sure exactly which ones are causing the problem. The skin issues would come and go - they would go away if I stopped using it for a while, but then come back when I started using it again. It's clear this basic skincare product doesn't agree with my skin. My mother also said her face felt itchy when she used it, so I tried it too, but it didn't work for me either. It might be better suited for those with less sensitive skin. The breakouts were quite severe and mostly on my cheeks, chin and forehead (I've uploaded a photo of them subsiding and getting smaller). I wish I could use it, as it has propolis which gives a luxurious feel, but the skin issues are a dealbreaker. It would be great if Cha & Park could either reformulate this product to remove all the potentially problematic ingredients for sensitive skin, or offer a separate sensitive skin version.
Tip
If I get skin issues after applying it, applying tea tree oil right away helps it start subsiding the next day. My cheek and chin breakouts went away in 2-3 days. Applying it on top of my makeup during the day keeps my skin moisturized and comfortable without feeling tight for a long time. If, like me, it causes breakouts when applied directly on the skin, it could still work well to maintain moisture and comfort on top of light makeup.

Pros
It seems to have a nice fragrance and contain quite a lot of nutrients...
Cons
Even though my skin is dry, I don't really like products that are too oily, but this is an oil explosion... That's why I keep getting small pimples or breakouts. I guess I'll have to apply it to my body as well... Feels like a waste of money....
