This is my go-to product that I always keep at home. Since I have oily skin, it doesn't always suit me, so I don't use it daily. Instead, I apply it generously once or twice a week in the evening before bed. The next morning, my skin feels neither dry nor irritated.
Cons
The only thing is that you need to mix it well occasionally. But honestly, even that isn't really inconvenient.
Tip
It's best to apply it generously at night before sleeping. If you use it during the day, the oil content can sometimes make your skin feel a bit greasy.

I always use this on days I visit the dermatologist. Even though I'm prone to blemishes, this product suits my skin well. I was surprised to see mineral oil in the ingredients, but so far it's working great. When applied as a final step, it gives a beautiful glow and provides excellent moisture, leaving my skin hydrated.
Cons
The ingredients are a bit concerning. I'll have to switch to a different product with similar functions, which is unfortunate.

I apply a little bit to cracked areas before bed, and when I wake up, my skin feels wonderfully hydrated!
Cons
I don't think it used to have fermented ingredients, but I see now that it does... I'm allergic to fermented ingredients, so I wish they'd release a version without them.

For my blemish-prone skin, applying a generous amount before bed gives a soothing effect. While I don't use it daily, I feel like I'll keep it in my routine for life.
Cons
It's quite rich in texture. Being a white cream, it can leave marks on clothes, so careful washing is necessary.

A decent regenerating cream for oily skin types. It wasn't bad at all.
Cons
The texture is a bit thick when applying, but it spreads well if you massage it thoroughly on the back of your hand.

I have dry and sensitive skin that tends to get flaky and irritated during seasonal changes. * When my skin is particularly sensitive, I apply this cream thickly like an ointment. After diligently applying it for three days, my skin usually improves. The texture is quite rich and ointment-like. * While it may not absorb quickly, its moisturizing power is unmatched by any other product. I also love that it's more affordable compared to other cica products! * Using this during harsh winter months or seasonal transitions noticeably helps protect and repair damaged skin barriers. When my skin starts to act up during these times, I apply a generous, almost white-looking layer! * For those with dry skin, this cream is unbeatable. However, if you have oily skin, I'd recommend trying the 40ml size first. Even for dry skin types, it can feel a bit heavy in summer, so I only use it before bed then.
Cons
* Due to its thick, ointment-like texture, it absorbs slowly and requires some effort to apply. You need to press it into the skin, which can be a bit labor-intensive! * If stored below 5°C in winter, the water and cream components can separate, causing the water to leak out. In this case, you need to squeeze out and discard the separated water, then use the remaining cream like toothpaste. (This aspect is really disappointing!)
Tip
In the depths of winter, I mix this with Aquaphor and apply it like a sleeping pack. The next morning, my skin feels moisturized and makeup goes on smoothly!

It's definitely more effective than La Roche-Posay. You can clearly see how well it calms the skin.
Cons
There's nothing bad to say except that I might get bored of it eventually! I'm curious to try their other products too.

Texture & Feel When first squeezed out, it has a thick, ointment-like cream texture that makes you think, 'Oh, this is quite rich!' It's best to warm it slightly with your body heat before gently pressing it into your skin for absorption. After application, it feels like a protective layer has been formed on your skin surface. While it doesn't absorb quickly, it seems to focus more on barrier protection than deep hydration. The oil content is just right, making it feel comforting and moisturizing for my dry skin. Before and After Effects (for Dry Skin) [Week 1] I used it locally on areas where I had extracted blemishes and had wounds. The next day, the wounded areas had noticeably healed and the redness had subsided. [Week 2] As my skin texture improved, it felt smoother to the touch. Dead skin cells were significantly reduced, and it worked wonders when applied around my occasionally sore and peeling lips. Advantages (for Dry Skin) Moisture retention lasts all day when layered over a hydrating cream. Skin noticeably stabilizes faster after blemish extraction or on sensitive days. Fragrance-free / Non-irritating / Suitable for sensitive areas. Can be used on extremely dry areas (elbows, around mouth, nostrils, etc.) Disadvantages The thick texture might feel heavy in summer or during the day. Not suitable for rushed makeup application due to slow absorption. Fine for use as a sleeping pack, but recommended for spot treatment during the day. Overall Review & Repurchase Intent 'The go-to comforting cream when skin is sensitive and cracking.' It's a must-have basic item for dry skin types. Thanks to this cream at night, my makeup doesn't flake the next day, and my skin often feels more comfortable. Especially in winter, when skin feels painfully dry, there's no better cream. Rating: 4.7 / 5 (for dry skin) Recommended for: Dry + Sensitive skin, Compromised skin barrier, Post-blemish recovery
Cons
The thick consistency might feel heavy in summer.
Tip
I applied it once all over, then added an extra thick layer on wounded areas for better healing.

I felt my skin recovered quickly when it was irritated. Even though I tend to keep my base skincare routine slightly more hydrating, this felt a bit tight, but not to the point of discomfort.
Cons
It feels more oily than I expected. Despite having dry skin, I found it quite uncomfortable.

This cream seems to have excellent moisturizing properties that deeply hydrate and protect the skin barrier. It's perfect for those with thin, delicate skin and suits even sensitive skin types, so everyone can use it with confidence. After application, your skin feels soft and firm, and it has a great soothing effect. It instantly calms irritated skin or any redness and tingling sensations.
Cons
For those with oily skin, it might feel heavy and rich, which could be uncomfortable during the summer months.
Tip
For faster soothing effects, apply a thin layer on irritated skin and use it as an overnight mask.
