Doesn't Last Long

Moisturizing

Pleasant Scent

Hydrating

Rich

Not Oily

Easily Absorbed

Easy to Apply

Pro tip: Instead of applying a large amount at once, try using smaller amounts in two layers. This method significantly extends the hydration. The cream works by providing a moisture boost and then sealing it in with an oil barrier. It's absolutely fantastic as an overnight hydrating mask - you'll wake up to smooth, plump, and incredibly soft skin. I generously apply it at night and go through it quickly, but it's so worth it! This technique works even better than most sheet masks. Highly recommend using it as an overnight hydrating treatment!

1. Scent
The rosemary-like herbal fragrance, typical of Primera products, was initially off-putting. I've grown accustomed to it now.

2. Occasional Pilling
While it usually absorbs quickly, there are rare instances when it feels like it's sitting on top of the skin. This can be a bit uncomfortable, though it's infrequent and usually only happens when my skin isn't at its best.

3. Slight Heaviness
After the initial cooling sensation fades and the rich oils settle, it can feel a tad heavy. This is particularly noticeable when wearing a mask. However, this is somewhat expected with such a rich cream.

These drawbacks are quite minor and don't significantly impact my overall positive experience with the product.

After trying countless products, I've finally found my holy grail! I discovered this gem while searching for an alternative to Belif's Aqua Bomb, which became too pricey after its reformulation.

As someone with sensitive, blemish-prone, and extremely dry skin with redness, here's why I love it:

1. Hydration
For my parched skin, rich creams are essential. This one's hydrating power is so impressive that it's become my go-to. I use it day and night, even under makeup, and it never disappoints. I often apply it in two thin layers, and slather it on generously as an overnight mask.

2. Cooling Effect
Despite its rich texture, it feels wonderfully cool on application. As someone prone to redness, I adore this soothing sensation. I keep it in the fridge for an extra refreshing experience, which also seems to improve makeup adherence.

3. Texture
The shea butter formula has a thick consistency, but it melts beautifully with body heat, spreading easily. This makes it perfect for layering.

4. Gentleness
While the ingredient list isn't perfect, it feels incredibly gentle on my skin. I've been using it consistently without any irritation or blemishes.

5. Packaging
The glass jar is a huge plus! It conducts temperature well (great for my fridge storage method) and gives the product a luxurious feel. I'm a sucker for glass packaging!

알파인 베리 워터리 인텐시브 크림

Works wonderfully as a moisturizer before bed

It's slightly oily, but everything else was great

It was amazing, it's amazing, and it's just so incredibly amazing!

On those bitterly cold days when you feel like your face might crack, try mixing in a drop or two of oil before applying.

I stocked up when they had the large size on sale, but this is my last jar. It's funny that 100ml is considered 'large' - I think it could be bigger. As a student, the price is a bit steep for frequent use.

This cream has been my winter savior since it came out. While I used to be fine with just a watery cream until early fall, I found the intensive version perfect for winter. It's not too thick, absorbs well, and feels like a regular watery cream with added nourishment. I love the subtle herbal scent too. Everything about it is satisfying... except the price.

Due to its thick consistency, which is between a balm and a cream, a spatula is essential for application.

I couldn't find any drawbacks. Some people might find it heavy for daytime use, but I use it morning and night without issues, even though I have combination dehydrated skin rather than extremely dry skin. I just apply a thinner layer in the morning.

I received this as a gift and started using it. I've tried other Primera products before, but I didn't have high expectations, thinking all moisturizers would be similar. However, this cream, designed for those with drier skin among the Alpine Berry cream line, worked well even for my combination dehydrated skin without feeling heavy. The scent is a refreshing herbal aroma, and the texture is between a cream and a balm, not greasy at all. I was surprised when I first opened it, expecting something like Physiogel cream, but found a more balm-like consistency, so I initially only used it at night. But it absorbs incredibly fast, doesn't leave an oily residue, and seems to 'melt' into the skin (you'll understand the difference when you try it). The finish isn't greasy, so I tried it in the morning before makeup. It absorbs quickly while providing a moisturizing coating, making it great for makeup application. I'm very satisfied. Thanks to its balm-like texture, it seems suitable for use even in dry seasons, despite being a moisturizer.

The price point is a bit high, but given how well it works, I can't really complain.

Even after applying toner and emulsion post-cleansing, my face always felt tight and dry. After trying various moisturizers, I've finally found this gem that keeps my skin feeling hydrated all day long. The fragrance is subtle and pleasant, making it suitable even for those with sensitive noses!

There wasn't anything particularly bad. It would be nice if it came in a squeeze tube format as well.

It's gentle and moisturizing. Usually, even when I apply creams that claim to be soothing, they can sting around my eyes, but this one was fine.

I applied it with my hands and cupped my face to help it absorb.

While it's called 'intensive', those with extremely dry skin might need to apply it 2-3 times. I mean, I reapplied once I got to the office... It's not really a downside, but I thought I'd mention it.

First off, I have thin skin that's prone to deep dryness. I use this especially during seasonal changes when my skin gets rough. After trying a sample, I was sold on its rich moisturizing effect that left my skin feeling calm and comfortable. With the dry weather and mask-wearing making my skin even more parched, I couldn't even wear makeup. But after applying this before work, my skin stayed hydrated until I reached the office. I'd even apply it again once I got there! It's more than just a simple moisturizer - it has a bit of richness to it, which I love. Best of all, there was no tingling sensation!

The price might be a bit steep for students... However, I don't feel like the money spent is wasted.

It's the epitome of hydration! For my skin that suffers from deep dryness, this was absolutely top-notch.

For those with dry or extremely dry skin, you might prefer something richer.

It's gentle, absorbs well, feels lightweight, and is really nice overall. It also sinks into the skin nicely.

For combination dehydrated skin, it just sits on the surface. It doesn't give that hydrating feeling at all.

It's pretty decent! It doesn't cause any blemishes, just... okay overall.

1. Deep dryness
After application, it only makes the surface look shiny without moisturizing deep down.

2. Price
The quality doesn't justify the 37,000 won price tag.

3. Greasiness
As mentioned earlier, it doesn't absorb well, leaving the skin feeling quite oily.

4. Ingredients
The formulation might be okay for those with resilient skin like mine, but I wouldn't recommend it for those with thin or super sensitive skin.

To be honest, I can't really think of any standout positives... The ingredients aren't particularly gentle, the hydration isn't exceptional, and it's not even good value for money. I'd suggest trying something else instead.

Please, for your own sake, buy a different hydrating moisturizer...

Those with deep dryness should avoid this product. It's only oily and sits on top of the skin without absorbing. My skin is extremely dehydrated, and after using this, I woke up in the morning with my skin feeling so dry it was painful. I really struggled with the discomfort in the morning.

The texture is rich and the scent is decent, I guess... To be honest, I had such a hard time with this product that I can barely think of any positives.

Personally, I felt some deep dryness. If that could be improved, it would be perfect

The hydration boost was great, and it had decent staying power

There's a slight deep dryness? It feels like it's missing something by about 2%. However, it might work better if you strengthen the previous steps in your skincare routine.

It has a rich consistency that's not too heavy for dry skin. The cream absorbs well and seems perfect for applying before bed. Not recommended for morning use though.

I'm not certain if this is a reformulation, but after trying a sample and liking it, I bought the full-size product. The texture is completely different. It seems the product names 'Intensive Watery' and 'Watery Intensive' might be different. Anyway, this one makes my skin too dry... It doesn't address the deep dryness at all. The previous version left my skin feeling clean without any deep dryness, which made it pleasant to use. I suspect they changed the formula to eliminate the rich texture, unfortunately...

I'm not quite sure about this one. It's supposed to be intensive, but why am I experiencing deep dryness? The absorption is incredibly fast, leaving my skin feeling parched...

It seemed to lack moisture, as I experienced some deep dryness in my skin.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, it felt a bit heavy for me. However, the hydration was really good!
