The triple moisturizing ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and xylitol, create a protective moisture barrier on the skin, keeping it hydrated for hours. It's especially effective when applied generously to sensitive or flaky skin - you'll notice a significantly smoother complexion the next day. Despite its rich texture, it adheres well to the skin when applied, and you can feel it quickly calming any redness caused by external irritants or blemishes. A major plus is that it's fragrance-free, colorant-free, and non-comedogenic, making it safe for sensitive skin and even infants! It's my go-to regenerating cream for dry winter months, when my skin barrier is weakened, or after exfoliation when my skin needs extra moisture. I plan to keep using it as a reliable skin savior.
ConsFirst off, the rich and thick texture makes it feel a bit heavy when applying, and it takes some time to absorb, leaving a slightly sticky residue on the skin. Especially for those with oily skin, it can make the face look too shiny, making frequent use challenging. If you have oily or combination skin, be cautious about using it daily as it might cause small bumps or pimples. After application, it tends to attract hair and dust, and when used under makeup, it can sometimes cause pilling. I mainly used it at night or on days when I wasn't going out. The 40ml size is relatively small, so it runs out quickly if used generously. Also, those sensitive to certain ingredients like mineral oil should check the ingredient list before use.
TipFor sensitive skin or after exfoliation, apply a generous amount and use it with a wrap, plastic pack, or modeling mask to reduce stickiness and improve absorption. For extremely dry areas, apply it thickly like a sleeping pack for more soothed and hydrated skin the next morning. If you have oily or combination skin, try applying a thin layer or mixing it with oil or a lighter cream for a more comfortable use. It's also great for rough areas on the body like elbows and heels, leaving skin soft and smooth. When using before makeup, I recommend applying only a small amount!

However, I'd recommend using it at night because it tends to pill and become patchy when you layer sunscreen over it.
ConsYou need to make sure your toner is fully absorbed before applying this. If you apply it right after toner, it tends to clump up, which is a bit frustrating.
TipFor best results, allow each skincare step to absorb fully before moving on to the next product. This will help prevent pilling and ensure you get the most out of each item in your routine.

When my face is sensitive, I apply it before bed and wake up with plump, bouncy skin. I'll definitely repurchase!
ConsWhile there weren't any real downsides, the thick texture means you need to warm it up on the back of your hand before applying. It's a minor inconvenience, if you can even call it that.

I'm on my second bottle now. Highly recommended!
ConsI love everything about it. I just wish it came in a larger size and that they'd offer promotions occasionally.

This cream is fragrance-free, with a color similar to a mud mask, and has a rich, bouncy texture. 1. The hydration power is out of this world. It feels like you're applying an explosion of oil and moisture to your face, and the hydration lasts for hours. When applied at night, your skin remains plump and moisturized until the next morning. 2. Despite its rich oil and moisture content, it doesn't cause acne or excessive sebum production, no matter how much you apply. In fact, the high moisture content reduces sebum production, resulting in refined skin with a natural glow. 3. It might feel a bit thick at first application, but after massaging it a few times, it melts with your body heat, spreading evenly and smoothly for easy application. 4. The moisturizing power is so good that even those without dry skin can feel the hydration with just a small amount. 5. Being fragrance-free and with good ingredients, it's suitable for worry-free application. 6. I know people in their 20s, 40s, and 70s who are all satisfied with this product and keep repurchasing it. I'm also on my third jar. 7. I believe this product is most effective for preventing wrinkles through hydration in all seasons except midsummer.
Cons1. While there's not much to complain about, it might be a bit heavy for makeup application due to its intense hydration. I only use it on makeup-free days or at night. 2. Due to its slightly sticky texture, I wouldn't recommend applying it on body parts that might come into contact with clothes or objects.
TipThere's usually a buy-one-get-one-free sale during the transition from fall to early winter. You can purchase it for less than $20 per jar, which is the best time to buy it at the lowest price. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for this deal.

It absorbs well even with just a small application.
ConsOn the flip side, it might feel a bit sticky when applied during summer months.
TipIts rich consistency means you should definitely cut open the tube when it seems empty, as shown in my photo. There's still plenty clinging to the sides, giving you several more uses!

To be honest, it's probably not suitable for summer use, and those with oily skin should definitely steer clear. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I love applying a generous amount of essence followed by this cream before bed. In the morning, my skin feels so supple and amazing! It does feel a bit rich, but it absorbs well into the skin. I never use it in the morning, only at night before sleep. This cream really works hard to fill the skin with hydration and maintain moisture levels.
ConsIt might be too rich for those with oily skin, and I wouldn't recommend it for summer use. The price is quite high, but it's still so good!

It keeps my face hydrated for hours with its rich texture. I highly recommend it for those with dry skin. While it might feel a bit heavy in summer, it's perfect for spring, fall, and winter. It's also great for post-dermatological treatments. The cream absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue.
ConsThe texture is slightly heavy, so I wouldn't recommend it for summer use. It's best suited for spring, fall, and winter.
TipAfter dermatological treatments or home care routines, I apply this as a soothing layer. I use it once after toner, then layer it again. It leaves my skin incredibly hydrated and calmed.

Usage experience: Moisturizing + Plumping! Truly feels like a protective shield for your skin! ✓ The ultimate skin barrier protector! More like an ointment than a cream? It clings to the skin, maintaining hydration for a long time! ✓ Amazing soothing effect! When your skin is sensitive or you have blemishes, applying this calms it down quickly~ ✓ Moisturizing but not sticky! It starts off plump but absorbs quickly, so there's no heavy feeling! ✓ Gentle ingredients with no irritation! A mild product that even those with super sensitive skin can use with confidence! Overall: Definitely a holy grail for skin soothing + protection! It might feel a bit rich, but the moisturizing power is undeniable! Will I repurchase: Yes! (Planning to stock up as a winter essential)
Cons× Not the fastest absorption! It takes a while to fully sink in, so it might cause pilling if applied before makeup! × The ointment-like texture might be divisive! It could feel heavy for those who prefer lightweight creams~ × The tube packaging makes it inconvenient to use up completely! It's a bit annoying having to squeeze it out when you're almost finished
Tip★ Great as a sleeping pack! Apply generously before bed for clear and moisturized skin the next morning! ★ Excellent winter moisturizer! When it's extremely dry, use this instead of your regular cream for all-day hydration~

I even tried the La Roche-Posay B5 cream, but it didn't suit me. I tested this at Olive Young before buying, and I loved its moderate bounce and protective oil barrier. I'll apply it thickly at night before bed. Even when I used a hydrating cushion, I was worried about deep dryness and fine lines becoming noticeable by afternoon. But with this product, applying a thin layer once or twice makes my skin feel firmer, allowing the cushion to adhere better! I'm under the heater all day, but it gives me a subtle Inner Glow and combats deep dryness, which I love so much!
ConsThe price is a bit high... But since you only need to use a pea-sized amount each time, it might be worth it!
TipHowever, due to its rich texture, it may cause pilling with makeup. When applying cushion/foundation, use a damp sponge to smooth it out before layering. Honestly, without any exaggeration, can you see the skin texture and glow after 10 hours? This is an unedited front camera photo from a Galaxy phone! I applied two thin layers and used a cushion foundation, and there's no deep dryness at all - it's amazing!
