Pros
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!

Pros
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.

Pros
I swear by this cream! It's amazing in every way - from how it absorbs to its hydration. I absolutely love it... Please, please don't discontinue this product!
Cons
This cream is incredibly rich, which might be too heavy for some! While I'm really satisfied with it, I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Pros
I bought this regenerating cream because I needed one. The scars from my laser treatment gradually faded away nicely. I was able to purchase it as part of a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and since it's a large size, I could apply it generously without worrying about running out. That was really great!
Cons
Compared to the La Roche-Posay product I used before, the absorption of this cream is definitely not as good. While La Roche-Posay feels like an emulsion, cream, or balm, this Avène product has a thick, ointment-like texture.

Pros
When you have skin troubles, just apply this. After applying it, it calms down and gets better the next day.
Cons
It's difficult to apply when it's thick and creamy. I don't apply it in the morning, but I do in the evening.
Tip
Applying it mixed with a moisturizer helps it spread more evenly.

Pros
When the skin barrier is compromised, causing redness, roughness, and itchiness, applying the product for a few days can quickly improve the condition.
Cons
The formulation is too thick, making it inconvenient to spread evenly, and it has an excessive oily feel.

Pros
The moisturizing power is incredible! ㅠㅠㅠ I highly recommend this as a seasonal change item. I've tried many regenerative creams, but they were too oily for my dry and oily skin, and even caused more trouble. However, the Avène one has good moisture but less oiliness, so it was fine. It gives a plump and supple feeling to the skin? Just a small amount is enough, and it's even good to use before makeup!!
Cons
The biggest disappointment would be the price, which is a bit steep 😢 And while it's a satisfactory regenerating cream for those with combination or oily skin, it may be a bit drying for those with dry skin. It also doesn't have a completely smooth and creamy application. It's a bit thick, so it's better to warm it up in your hands first before applying, which helps with absorption and makes it nicer to use!!

Pros
I always use it in the winter. It has a great calming effect. When I first used it for a few days, it was definitely comparable to prescription creams.
Cons
It's quite thick and creamy, so it's not that easy to spread. The scent is more like an ointment than a cream.

Pros
The reddened area should be applied and left overnight, which will help it subside by the next day. The redness quickly subsides, so it's great for when you urgently need SOS relief.
Cons
Areas with high sebum production, such as the T-zone or chin, may experience increased appearance of blackheads or acne when using this product. Oily skin types must be cautious with the application amount. The formula is thick and can be challenging to spread evenly. As a result, it is difficult to control the amount applied. The product has a greasy, oily texture which leads to slower absorption.
Tip
Applying a sleeping pack like a face mask to the areas that need soothing before bed can lead to great results the next day!

Pros
I recently had a flat wart removed and applied it morning, noon, and night for skin regeneration purposes. The shop said the scabs usually fall off after 5 days, but the scabs started falling off from the 4th day and there was no discoloration at all - I recovered right away. I couldn't wear makeup and just applied this, but when I applied a lot, my face would get a bit whitish. Even without being able to wear makeup, it was pretty decent though haha.
Cons
It's a bit thick, so you have to spread it out well when applying. If you apply a lot and some time passes, there may be white powder stuck to your eyelashes sometimes haha.
