It actually pairs better with the Laneige Water Bank emulsion for oily skin than with the emulsion from its own line.

Might be too rich for oily skin types. If you use this, you should choose lighter products for the rest of your skincare routine.

King Sejong the Great level

I've lost count of how many bottles I've emptied. This is simply the GOAT for combination skin. You can apply it all over, then add an extra layer on dry cheek areas. While the emulsion from the same line feels greasy and heavy, this one is just insanely perfect.

Pros:
- Runny texture, no cotton pad needed
- Instant hydration feeling
- Surprisingly affordable for an IOPE product
- Doesn't cause makeup to pill

스템Ⅲ 소프너

It was a bit difficult to use up the last bit of the product. Even when pressing hard, nothing comes out...

Finished a whole bottle of this holy grail product. It has a runny texture that doesn't cause any discomfort or foreign feeling on the skin. It balances oil and moisture well, and the price is reasonable. The pump is sturdy, and I can't find any significant drawbacks. The price has even dropped to drugstore levels.

I'm not sure what's lacking... I just think it's fine because I can use it without any issues.

It's decent enough to use. I have dry skin. While it's not amazing, it's serviceable.

I haven't found any downsides yet. It works even better when I apply a second layer.

As someone with dry skin, I love layering this product over my regular toner. It eliminates deep dryness and feels amazing!

The price is a bit on the higher side.
Even with oily skin, this alone isn't enough to combat winter dryness.

• Clean ingredients
• Deeply hydrating
• Gentle on all skin types

Absolutely fantastic!

The texture is somewhere between thick and runny, which can feel a bit heavy on the skin. To be honest, I'm not sure if it's really providing effective hydration.

Great for combination dehydrated skin, especially in dry winter-like weather. However, I find it more effective to apply a water-based essence or booster product first, then follow with this cream, rather than applying it immediately after cleansing.

The scent might be hit or miss for some. It is on the pricier side. The top lid keeps coming off, which is a bit annoying.

There's a reason for the price point - with consistent use, you can really see your skin becoming softer!

While it's pricey, I believe the functionality justifies the cost. I usually buy it duty-free, where you can get the softener and emulsion set for about $36, which is a better deal.

It's not a watery formula, but rather has a slightly bouncy texture. I noticed it immediately hydrates and refines skin texture after cleansing. I hadn't expected much from toner or softener lines before, but this one was quite impressive. Despite its bouncy texture, it doesn't feel greasy or sticky at all, and finishes with a fresh feel.

This makes an excellent gift for skin lacking in hydration and nourishment.

It would be great if they could provide shopping bags upon request, even for regular purchases, as they're often needed.

I bought this as a gift. A few days ago, there was no shopping bag available, but now they have them. I had requested one to be included, but it wasn't sent. The product has been renewed from the blue case, and it's excellent for dry skin due to its improved hydration and nourishment. Highly recommended!

I wish it provided more hydration, and the price is a bit steep. It would be better if the consistency was richer.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I'm pleased it didn't cause any blemishes. Despite having dry skin, I appreciated that it wasn't watery. It's also great that there's no noticeable scent or fragrance.

However, it doesn't absorb particularly well... If you apply too much, it can feel a bit heavy and greasy, like it's sitting on top of the skin. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types. And true to IOPE's reputation, the price is quite steep.

A toner with a viscous, mucus-like texture. I tried it because it seemed to focus more on strengthening the skin barrier rather than anti-aging, and I was pleased to find that it's gentle and comfortable even on sensitive and delicate skin, causing no irritation. After use, my skin feels soft and smooth, and it's great at locking in moisture when applied to dry skin.
