When I ran out of the ampoule, I was wondering what to use, so I tried this product. Suddenly, my skin became the type that couldn't be fully hydrated even with the ampoule, so I needed a product that could provide more moisture like a cream. The dehydration is definitely resolved, and there is no stickiness at all right after application! I tend to layer it a few times on drier areas like my cheeks, and it absorbs well and feels great. The texture is bouncy and gel-like, as the name suggests, and the white beads melt smoothly as you apply it. Since using this product, the tight feeling on my skin has disappeared! I started using it in the summer, so I'm not sure how it will be in the winter, but I think I can just use a bit more then. I will repurchase, and I saw that they sell a large size on the Primera Naver Store. Using a tube type is probably more hygienic than a jar type.
ConsThe only downside is that there is no spatula included to scoop out the product. It would be nice if they included a small spatula.
TipFor particularly dry areas, layering it a few times seems to work well.

However, I didn't experience a dramatic cooling effect, but I think it did help lower the heat sensation on my skin. - There were some granule-like things that felt unfamiliar, but the product page said those are capsules that deliver soothing and moisturizing benefits to the skin. Anyway, I was worried about applying those on my face, but they melted in quickly when I spread it out. So I don't think the capsules will be an issue in terms of application. - I can definitely feel the moisturizing effect. - I liked that there was no strong cosmetic scent, so it didn't make me feel nauseous.
Cons- The product didn't come with a spatula. I think a spatula is necessary for hygienic application, so I was disappointed about that. - Also, considering the price (regular price), I felt it was a bit expensive. It's around 40,000 won for 50ml, so I thought they could have included a spatula at least.

The positive aspects were that the cream has a lightweight, non-sticky formula, and the cooling effect makes it suitable for use in the summer.
ConsThe lack of a spatula was inconvenient to use. While the product was able to provide immediate hydration, it did not fully address the underlying dryness.

Cons📌 There is no spatula, so I have to use my fingers to apply it. It's not particularly inconvenient, but it may compromise cleanliness a bit. 📌 Since the formula is non-sticky and lightweight, if I apply it generously, I might use it up within a month, so I need to use an appropriate amount.

There is no feeling of being hard or anything like that, and when you roll it on the skin, the granules melt well and are absorbed. The application is also smooth and soft, so it's a soothing gel cream that's good for lightweight use in the summer, not a thick product. 🌿 Packaging - The package is made of paper, and the product itself is in a glass bottle with a plastic cap. It seems like a good product to dispose of. - When you open the cap, there is also a safety film inside, which ensures safe delivery and lets you know it's a new product. 🌿 Overall Impression - Good for lightweight application in the summer - Applying it before summer makeup gives a slightly cooling sensation, making the makeup application smooth - The finish is light but not too thin, leaving a thin, moist layer, so it can be applied refreshingly - The fragrance is almost odorless, so it's suitable for those sensitive to fragrance - For people like me with U-zone dryness, applying an extra layer makes it nicely moisturizing
Cons🌿 Downside - It's a bit disappointing that a spatula is not included, as using your hands could risk bacterial infection, so you'd have to use a spatula you have at home.
TipUsing it before summer base makeup helps the base apply well! For those who find the U-zone a bit tight, applying an extra layer can make it nicely moisturizing!

It's a soothing cream that isn't too heavy, but it's not overly lacking in moisture either, making it a product that I reach for a lot in the summer. 🙂It's not just a regular soothing cream, as it has little granules that help maintain the moisture, which I really liked. 🙂I was able to use it without any issues, even with my sensitive skin. 🙂One of the important factors I consider in basic skincare products is the 'scent', and I've been using this product well as it doesn't have any bothersome fragrance.
Cons🙁If I had to pick something, it would be that it might be difficult to use when it gets colder? However, since the target season for this product is clear, I think I can just switch to a cream from the same brand when it gets colder. 🙁It doesn't have a built-in spatula.
Tip🍯It might be difficult to use in the fall and winter, so feel free to use it generously in the summer. 🍯It's best to make sure it's fully absorbed before applying makeup in the morning.

I haven't tried it in the winter, but when I used it in the summer, the moisture was great, and the gentle ingredients were a plus. There are granules, but there was no inconvenience when using it.
ConsThere is also a bit of oiliness, so after using it for a while, it gets greasy. It might be because the weather has been hot lately, but I'll have to try it again in the winter to see. And for hygiene, a spatula would be nice, but one wasn't included with the product, so I used one I had at home.

No moisture or oil film is left, so it does not feel dry Acne reaction: None Allergic reaction: None Compatibility with sunscreen: Although it has a more absorbed finish than a dewy one, it would pair better with a sunscreen with some oil content Repurchase intent: If it's on sale!!
ConsThere is no spatula If it were in a tube, it would have been more hygienic
TipDon't throw away the plastic film covering the cream, use it to scoop out the product for a more hygienic application!

After receiving the delivery, I only used toner-soothing gel cream, and I felt that it provided sufficient hydration even when used alone!(Other skin types may feel differently)
ConsThe lack of a spatula was the most disappointing aspect. It felt difficult to use up the entire jar hygienically. It takes a bit of time to absorb. It's not a problem at night, but during the day, it's a bit tricky to apply sunscreen right away. This is more of a note than a criticism:)

While the product contains oil, the ingredients that do not clog pores are not separately checked in the app. So I've been using it without any concerns, and I haven't had any issues with acne or itchiness on my face. It feels like it's creating a film on the skin rather than being absorbed. It's not as heavy as a rich cream, but more like it's creating a moisture barrier. When you apply it, you can feel little bursting beads in the gel cream. If you roll it on your face and mix it with the cream, you'll get a cooling sensation and a bouncy finish. Since I don't like the oily feel of gel creams and prefer a fresh, cool finish, many products lack moisturizing power. So I often use an essence or lotion in addition to the gel cream, but this one works well on its own without feeling tight. (This may vary by season. In the summer, sebum production tends to be higher...) I used the now-discontinued Primera Watery Oil-Free Gel Cream for a very long time, and if that product worked well for you, the Alpine Berry Watery Soothing Gel Cream should also work fine.
ConsI also prefer tube-type products, and it's a shame that this one doesn't have a built-in spatula.
TipSince this is a product that creates a moisture barrier, if you apply other cosmetics like sunscreen or foundation on top, they may slide off. So I recommend using it before bedtime.
