The texture is similar to softly applying thick Vaseline, giving a wonderfully silky feel. The application is smooth and pleasant.
ConsOver time, the face becomes excessively oily and the tightness is too severe. It feels more like slathering on silicone-infused Vaseline than a nourishing product. (I had two samples and was going to buy it if it was good, but I absolutely cannot... It's been a while since I've had such a bad reaction and gotten pimples.)
TipFor oily or acne-prone skin, this may not be the best choice... 🤔🤔🤔

Lately, my skin elasticity has been decreasing, and I've noticed some enlarged pores and fine lines starting to appear, so I decided to purchase this product. However, when I actually started using it, I didn't feel like my skin was being properly hydrated. It felt very greasy, even more so than regular oils, with a thicker, heavier texture. In the evenings when I would apply it and then wake up the next day, I used to experience some tightness, but after using this product, I felt less of that tightness, and my skin became very soft and smooth. After using it consistently for about 2 weeks, I also felt like my pores looked a bit smaller.
ConsIf you have an oily skin type or your skin's oil-water balance is a bit off, using this product could potentially lead to breakouts or blemishes. Also, don't apply it before makeup, as it can cause your makeup to slide off. I personally only use this at night before bed, and I once made the mistake of applying it before going out, which caused my makeup to completely come off.

It looks like an ointment or pudding, and it melts nicely as you roll it onto the face. I'm in my early 30s and have dry skin. My face tends to get dry in the dry work environment, but after applying this and doing my makeup, the dryness was definitely improved. The tightness, makeup cracking, and flaking were reduced, so I felt a significant improvement in the dryness. The thick texture may be unfamiliar to first-time users, but it's easy to get used to. As for the wrinkle improvement effect, I'm not sure yet since I've only been using it for a week. I'll have to use it more to see the results. I don't usually use Missha products, but thanks to this great experience, I'm interested in trying more from their line.
ConsIt takes a bit of time for the texture to melt. My 50-year-old mom said it was a bit drying for her.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture was slightly creamy, but it spread well and was quite nice. I think the ingredients are really good. Personally, I've never felt that Missha's ingredients were good. And it had a concentrated feel, so I also felt it was a bit heavy. (combination skin) So I can't apply it all over my face. I used it with my mom, and she said it felt very moisturizing. She really liked how moisturized it felt when she woke up in the morning. As for wrinkle improvement, I'm not sure since I haven't used it for a month or two, but I definitely felt an improvement in skin elasticity. While I can't apply it all over my face because of my combination skin, it was good to apply it only to the wrinkle-prone areas like around the eyes and mouth! My mom applies it all over and was very satisfied (constantly emphasizing the moisturizing). Neither of us had any breakouts. And my mom, who's in her 50s, said the packaging looked luxurious and she liked it. I'm a younger generation, so... (laughs) I think it would also make a good gift for mothers. (She likes gold packaging) It seems suitable for winter use, and the important thing is that it contains gold.. the luxury of applying gold to the face!! There are some who say gold is not good, but in such a small amount, I think it's fine. I like it. And it's from a traditional Korean medicine line, which I really like. I feel like traditional Korean medicine products are premium. The dark color also gives a proper traditional Korean medicine vibe!
ConsThe price of 60,000 won is really regrettable... It's probably because of the gold content that it's so expensive. But if someone like me who only applies a small amount around the eyes and mouth, the large volume might actually be quite good. It's too heavy for combination skin (just around the eyes and mouth!) It's good for dry skin (my mother applies it all over her face!)
TipFor me, I only apply it around the eyes and mouth, but for those with dry skin, applying it all over the face seems to be fine. It seems especially good for use in the winter.

Spreadability - The initial texture is slightly thick like a night cream, but when scooped out with a spatula and applied to the face, it spreads easily and evenly with the palms. Upon closer inspection, you can see real gold powder in it, which is very luxurious. The slightly firm texture made the spatula helpful for me. Absorption - As you can see in the photo, after application, the face has a radiant glow, like it's coated in facial oil. Compared to facial oil, the feel is a bit lighter and smoother. Ironically, this could be a downside in terms of moisturizing power. I'll mention more about this in the 'Downside' section. The next day after application - Wow, what is this?! My face feels a bit taut, but I didn't have high expectations, and yet the next day, my skin is glowing! It's amazing. This must be the functional aspect of the product. It's been a while since I've had this experience of my skin radiating from within after waking up. Thank you^^
ConsMoisturizing Power - The surface of the skin feels slightly oily and coated, so it seems very moisturizing, but the inner skin felt taut, contrary to expectations. When I used this cream alone after toning my skin, I felt the tightness throughout the day. Packaging - The volume is large, but the actual amount of cream is only about half the total volume. It's the most eye-catching product on my vanity. Even the outer packaging box is bigger, haha. Ingredients - According to Hwahae, there are 4 caution ingredients.
TipRecommended Skin Type - I have a dry skin type. In the winter, when I use a basic skincare routine that is too oil-free, my Estee Lauder foundation would cling to dry patches and emphasize flakiness when I did my base makeup. So I've been using the Etude House Glow On base together with it. I was worried the oil in this product would make my skin overly oily, but surprisingly, it helped my foundation apply more smoothly. For the same reason, I initially thought I would only use this product at night, but I experimented and tried it in the morning before makeup as well, and it worked fine! There is still some tightness, but it seems to help loosen up the foundation a bit, so it doesn't cling to dry areas. I think I'll need to add a lotion to address the tightness, though.

For reference, I have very dry and sensitive skin. The packaging looks similar to the products my mom uses haha. The texture is very dense and thick. It's as creamy as the Cetaphil body cream. And as you can see in the photo, there are some gold dust or pearls in it. Some people said it was drying, but it was fine for my dry skin. It's moisturizing enough that I can just use the skin, essence, and cream. But it doesn't feel like it's just sitting on top - it absorbs into the skin like a night cream, so it's not sticky. The scent is similar to traditional herbal cosmetics that my mom uses^^ Overall, I'm satisfied with the feel and moisturizing power. But in the middle of winter, I think I'll need to add a few drops of oil along with this cream. Still, I'm happy with it.
ConsThe price is a bit high for a Missha product. And I think it would be better if the scent was a bit more fresh and lively.
TipRubbing it between your palms to warm it up helps it absorb faster and makes it even more moisturizing.

ConsFor my combination skin, while it didn't feel greasy on the eye area, it did feel a bit oily on the rest of my face, and there was a slight caking effect when applying makeup in the morning I recommend using a lighter eye cream in the morning and this richer formula at night
TipFor extra dry nights, you can use this eye cream all over the face as an overnight sleeping mask, just mist lightly with a facial spray before bed

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe case has a very luxurious and royal feel. Moms will love this case. It has a rich, creamy texture, but it doesn't feel oily and instead has a refreshing quality. The texture is like spreading a soft, pillowy jelly on the skin, and it leaves the skin feeling plump and bouncy. So the moisturizing effect doesn't easily disappear. The texture may seem heavy, but it applies well to the face and absorbs reasonably well. So even when layering it, it doesn't feel too heavy.
ConsThe fragrance!! Does it really need synthetic fragrances? It would be much better without them. It's too strong. It has a herbal fragrance, but it's overpowering. The scent lingers on the hands and face for a long time. Natural fragrances would be better, but this artificial one feels a bit headache-inducing. It contains phenoxyethanol, so the ingredients aren't that great.
TipThe bouncy texture makes it good for using as an eye cream - it helps plump up the eye area. Applying it in thin layers multiple times can boost the moisturizing power and help prevent moisture loss.

But when I tried it, it wasn't as burdensome as I expected and it was quite nice. Products in this line are usually very rich, so they tend to feel sticky and heavy, which often makes the younger generation feel burdened. But this one applied smoothly and was absorbed to a certain degree. (Normally, when I apply products that feel heavy and don't absorb well, my skin gets irritated, but I didn't have any trouble with this one.) The next day when I washed my face, my skin felt softer and a bit more supple. My skin is combination, and with winter coming, I've been dealing with flakiness. Lately, my makeup hasn't been applying well, and I've been troubled by that. But the flakiness seemed to have reduced a bit, and the tightness and pulling sensation I usually feel after makeup has definitely lessened. I was going to give it to my mom, but I like it so much that I want to use it too.^^ My mom likes the oriental medicine-like feel of it and says it's very moisturizing. There's a subtle glow, almost like an inner light, that I can see in my previously dull-looking face. I'm quite satisfied with it. I'll leave more feedback if I notice further skin improvements as I continue using it.
Cons■ The case seems to have had a lot of thought put into it, but it feels a bit excessive. ■ The ingredients are a bit disappointing. These days, I pay a lot of attention to ingredients, so I'd really appreciate if Missha could offer more products with good ingredients. ■ For those of more mature age, it might have been even better if there was just a bit more nourishment (oil) to it. ■ I wonder if there could be a more premium-looking tube version that is still hygienic. Many high-end products come in tube form, which is practical and hygienic.
TipApplying a thin layer before makeup helps the makeup apply better.~! And since this is an oriental medicine-inspired line, I think it would make a great gift for my aunt or mom (the packaging is so grand, too^^#).

ConsIt's a bit drying for solo use, so an additional moisturizer is essential...
