This time, as I'm preparing for summer, I was able to purchase the gel cream, so I'll try it out and leave a review! ๐ฟ Texture: It's a creamy gel cream with a pearly glow. Compared to regular gel creams, it has a slightly more dense and bouncy texture when applied. It applies moisturizing, but gets absorbed quickly, so it doesn't feel heavy over time and becomes soft and smooth. And since it's fragrance-free, it's a good choice for those sensitive to scents. ๐ฟ Hydration: This product has a refreshing and moisturizing feel at the same time, unlike the Echinacea Moisture Cream. So it's a great product to use in the summer! Especially for oily skin types or those who dislike a heavy, occlusive feel, the hydrating effect is really nice. It has a slightly bouncy texture when applied, but gets absorbed quickly, leaving the skin smooth on the surface while still feeling moisturized inside - a perfect balance of dewy and soft. While it doesn't have a cooling effect, the gel texture does provide a refreshing sensation upon application. ๐ฟ Soothing Effect: When I apply this product, I can feel my reddened skin calming down temporarily. It applies gently without burdening the skin, making the skin feel smoother, and quickly soothes any irritated areas. The cream itself is very gentle, which I really appreciate. ๐ฟ The Echinacea Gel Cream is a great summer moisturizer, providing a refreshing and moisturizing feel. I think using the Echinacea Moisture Cream in the winter and the gel cream in the summer would be a good way to tailor the products to the changing sebum production throughout the seasons. It's especially great for those who dislike a sticky or heavy residue, like men or more mature skin types, and even those with sensitive, acne-prone skin can use it comfortably. ๐
ConsIt does lack in deep, long-lasting hydration. Using too much can lead to a heavy, occlusive feel.

It has a smooth application. It has more oiliness than a typical gel-cream. The cream itself has a bit of weight due to the moisture, and after application, there is a slightly heavy oily finish. The scent is coconut with a floral note. Those who dislike coconut may have mixed feelings, but the scent is not strong and has a subtle fragrance, so it should not be irritating. The finish is lightly powdery on the surface but moist inside. There is a slightly occlusive oily finish. Moisture โญโญโญโญ It has the full moisture of a gel-cream. It seems to effectively address inner dryness. After application, the skin feels plump and hydrated. It has good moisturizing power, so it can be a good gel-cream to use in the winter. Absorption โญโญโญโญ It doesn't immediately absorb, but has a moderate level of absorption. If applied thickly like me, it takes some time to absorb. Moisturizing Power โญโญโญโญโญ As a gel-cream, it has excellent moisturizing power. Typically, gel-type formulas have good moisture but lack lasting power, but this product has enough moisturizing power to be used as a final skincare step. It's about the level of a thin lotion. The moisturizing film is still felt even when cleansing the face the next day. Soothing โญโญโญ~โญโญโญโญ? Since I'm someone who easily gets breakouts when dry, the improved hydration helps calm down any irritation... So I'm not sure if the calming effect is from the moisturizing power or the product's own soothing properties. However, I was able to confirm that when applied to irritated areas, the redness subsides to some degree. Low Irritation โญโญโญโญโญ I've never felt any stinging or irritation when using this, even when my skin condition was poor. Even with some gentle products I've used before, I sometimes felt irritation around my nose area, but this was much gentler in comparison. Of course, individual tolerance to ingredients can vary greatly, so please take the low-irritation claim with a grain of salt.
ConsFor pairing with other products: Since I have very dry skin, I layered a lotion on top of this gel-cream to complete my skincare routine. However, as this product has a slightly occlusive finish, layering a thin, very watery lotion on top doesn't absorb as well. It feels like it's sitting on the surface and not fully sinking in, even though it does get absorbed with some patting. But using a richer cream, oil, or balm-type product on top of this gel-cream doesn't work well either. The recommended method is to thoroughly hydrate the skin with as many watery, hydrating products as possible before using this gel-cream. Then, top it off with a thicker cream, oil, or balm-type product. Alternatively, you can use this gel-cream alone to complete your skincare routine, especially in certain seasons. For normal to combination skin types, using this as the final step may be sufficient without feeling too tight or dry. Price Hmm... sigh... The product quality is definitely good and worth the money. But as a gel-cream, it's quite pricey. I had been eyeing this product for a while and was hoping to catch it on sale, but even the discounted price isn't that affordable, in my opinion. Of course, it's not as exorbitantly expensive as high-end luxury brand products, but I still think it may be a bit burdensome for student users on a tighter budget.
TipYou're absolutely right that carefully considering the compatibility with other skincare products is important, as mentioned in the cons. I would recommend this as a suitable, moderately weighted moisturizing cream that won't make the skin feel tight, even in the winter! In the summer, I think this product would work well to complete the skincare routine. I believe this can be widely recommended, from dry to combination skin types.

Please take a look! I am a 22-year-old male soldier with sensitive and dehydrated skin. I used to have a lot of acne, but it has significantly reduced now, though I still suffer from severe dehydration. As I am not allowed to take photos within the military base, I apologize for the lack of photo reviews. The biggest advantage of this product is that the particles are very fine, as advertised, so it feels like it absorbs well into the skin. It doesn't feel extremely moisturizing, but it has a plump and full feeling, which I liked. The scent is the typical hyaluronic acid product smell. It feels refreshing for a few hours after application, and the good feeling lasts even after applying it. The spreadability is also satisfactory. It's amazing when used after exfoliating. This is a really great product! For a few hours after use, I can really feel the moisturizing effect. There is no stickiness, and the scent lingers a bit. It's an unremarkable product. The design is pretty, though.
ConsHowever, I didn't feel a strong sense of moisture. I used the Cica Ampoule before this product, and there was a bit of pilling, and since I'm often outdoors in the military base during the winter and wear a mask all day, the moisturizing effect didn't really stand out for me. As mentioned in the product description, using it as a night pack is good on dry days, but the amount provided may not be enough to use it frequently. If I used this product in the morning, I would have to wash my face and reapply it by lunchtime. The bottle design is nice, but the size seems disproportionately small compared to the container, which is a bit disappointing. Of course, this is just my experience, as I have a very dehydrated skin type that dries out quickly.
TipAs mentioned on the packaging, using this cream together with the ampoule from the same brand is recommended. I tried it with a different ampoule and really liked the result, so I would recommend that as well. The experience may vary from person to person, but I was satisfied with this product. I recommend it!
