My skin feels moisturized and radiant. My complexion also seems to have a healthy glow.
Cons
The sticker on the bottle is made of paper, so it feels a bit sticky when it gets on my hands.

Why don't you buy this? As I entered my 30s, wrinkles started to appear, so I tried all kinds of expensive skincare products that claimed to transform the skin in just 14 days, but the wrinkles around my eyes and nasolabial folds didn't improve, so I just gave up. Then around autumn, Skinfood had a sale where their Caviar and Propolis lines were heavily discounted, so I bought them. After finishing those products, I'm now using this one along with the Propolis essence, and my wrinkles have become much plumper, and my skin has suddenly transformed into the dewy complexion of my 20s. Even my mom asked me today why my skin looks so good. I'm truly satisfied and feel that investing in my skin has been worth it.
Cons
It's a shame that the packaging is not ideal. While it looks quite sophisticated, I have to keep flipping it over to use it, and I have to tap it on my palm every time I use it, which is inconvenient. Even if you spent less on the packaging, the product quality is excellent, so I wish it came in a jar or tube form instead.
Tip
To be honest, I'm not sure if this is the only one or if it has good synergy with propolis essence, but it seems like this one is the main thing, so I wrote it here. But if you use the two together, they work well together!

I bought the Carrot Pad from the official website and tried the sample. 1. It creates an oily film and feels heavy (since it's moisturizing, it seems suitable to use as a coating in the winter to provide intense hydration) 2. It has a very nourishing feel (I used it for a few days with the toner, and my skin felt plump and nourished, like after using an effective firming sheet mask)
Cons
1. It causes acne for oily skin (I just found out it contains ingredients that clog pores for oily skin, and sure enough, I got 2 pimples after using it) 2. It's a bit too heavy for summer 3. For a 20s user, the scent reminds me of my mom or grandma's old luxury cosmetics. That heavy, vintage fragrance. It seems like a nighttime product, but when I used it at night, the scent bothered me throughout my sleep
Tip
Using it together with the toner from the same line provides the best synergistic effect

Emulsions can be used as a lotion substitute, applying them before cream. During dry periods, using both emulsion and cream together results in complete moisturization. I also tried the caviar cream, which is not particularly noticeable but provides a pleasant, balanced moisturization.
Cons
The price is disappointing, but the Gold Caviar line is worth stocking up on when it goes on sale, as it warms the heart.

It was great, very moisturizing and hydrating. When applied, it gave a really nourishing feeling.
Cons
The container was extremely inconvenient. Scooping it out with my hand almost left bruises on my palm...

It was great to use for moisturizing in the winter. When I apply it in the morning, my makeup goes on well ~^^
Cons
The packaging is a bit inconvenient.. I wish they would change the container to a tube or pump instead

Skin Type: Slightly dry and complex Sensitive, with rashes and hives if the ingredients don't match Usage Period: Around 2 months Texture: Slightly thicker than a runny lotion Some reviews say it doesn't come out easily, but users find that a few taps on the palm makes it dispense well without any inconvenience Scent: Mother's lotion scent, typical cosmetic fragrance Review: I bought the Skinfood Caviar product, which is known to be popular, and tried it out. It's a good option for those with dry skin. There's a slight oiliness, but it doesn't leave a greasy residue over time. Instead, it absorbs well and doesn't feel overly oily later on. It's moisturizing, but doesn't give a fully plump, hydrated feeling when used alone. It works better when used after an essence, followed by the Caviar emulsion. This helps maintain a dewy, moisturized look without a dull, dry feeling. This is a good product for those in their 30s and 40s.
Cons
The texture, scent, and overall quality are good, but it lacks the deeply quenched, bouncy skin feel. However, it's still a decent, soso product.
Tip
Using the Caviar emulsion after applying an essence first works better than using the emulsion alone.

I tend to get pimples before and after my period, and my skin is very sensitive and reactive to products with excess oil, poor ingredients, or even the slightest irritation. ✨️ Packaging I've never fallen for a basic skincare product's packaging design like this before ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It looks so luxurious and pretty. There were some complaints about the heavy packaging and product not dispensing easily, but the beautiful design makes up for it ㅋㅋㅋ I heard the Skinfood CEO insisted on using glass bottles as they are the safest against product deterioration. Skinfood really does have a strong philosophy and unwavering principles. ✨️ Texture The texture is not too thick, just slightly viscous, and I was worried it might feel heavy on the skin, but not at all ㅋㅋ Normally thicker products don't absorb quickly, but this one sinks in right away, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and comfortable, with the effects lasting until the next day. The application is excellent. ✨️ Fragrance The scent is like aloe or floral, with a hint of a "mom's cosmetics" vibe ㅋㅋㅋ Those who dislike this type of fragrance may have mixed feelings, but even as someone sensitive to scents, I found it acceptable. ✨️ Overall - Extremely pretty packaging design - Non-irritating and gentle. Good application and absorption. Helps with moisture and deep dryness. - Great value for the price - Highly recommended for dry seasons like spring, fall, and winter
Cons
✨️ Disappointing Aspects I really like everything, but the slightly viscous texture means... The toner and lotion don't dispense easily! ㅋㅋㅋ I have to turn it upside down, shake it, and tap it to get the product out. Looking at other Skinfood products, it doesn't seem like they'll switch to a pump packaging, and the beautiful bottle design is too nice to change. But I do wish the opening was a bit larger!! Impatient Koreans like me will get frustrated trying to get the product out, especially in the mornings when we're in a hurry...^^ And for the emulsion, you can't see the remaining product inside the bottle, so it's hard to tell how much is left or if you've used it all up.
Tip
✨️ Helpful Tips Turning it upside down and slapping it onto my palm just hurts my hand without getting the product out!!! First, close the cap and shake the bottle a few times, like you're squeezing out ketchup, to move the emulsion towards the opening. Then, with the cap still closed, turn it upside down and give it a few shakes to get the product down to the opening. Once it's there, open the cap and gently tap it onto your palm ㅋㅋㅋ Don't slap it hard, but rather "turn" your hand just before it hits your palm to brake the motion. ⭐️ But is this really the right way to use it...? They should just widen the bottle opening. I'm getting dizzy from all this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The fragrance is lovely, and the moisturizing power is excellent. It feels hydrating even without applying too much. 🌿
Cons
The container is too heavy, and there's a lot of emulsion left, but it's really inconvenient because it doesn't come out even after a lot of tapping..🥲
