Pros
When I think of Biotherm, the blue & white color scheme comes to mind. The samples I received this time are: Serum Repair Barrier Cream*2 Oh Vitamine Perfumed Body Milk The white one is for the face, and the yellow one is for the body. The textures of both products are not thick or sticky. The barrier cream has a slightly lighter texture than a regular cream, while the body milk has an incredibly lightweight and hydrating texture, allowing you to apply it without feeling burdened. Comparing the two, the body milk definitely has a thinner and more lightweight texture, making it easy to apply. As it sinks in, it leaves a soft and powdery finish. The textures and application are really great! However... The scent of both products is... not my personal preference. ㅠㅠ The scent is a bit too strong for me to use daily. The scent is quite disappointing. But it's all about personal preference, so there will likely be many who enjoy the fragrance more. If you like the scent of the body milk, you could even use it as a perfume!

Pros
I tried it as a sample and it turned out to be better than I expected. It applies smoothly and maintains good moisture. I thought it would be very thick, but it absorbs into the skin softly and leaves my skin moisturized without feeling stuffy on my face. It's good for daily use.
Cons
It has a scent, but it's not a fragrance I prefer. I wish it was fragrance-free.

Pros
It's a lifesaver product that is creamy but not rich, and provides good hydration. There's also no issue with makeup sliding off.
Cons
It would be better if the price was a bit more affordable. It would be nice to be able to use it generously.

Pros
🤍 Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review 🤍 🙉 Skin Type: 17 to bright 21, sensitive dry / T-zone oily 💧Texture: The formula has a light cream-like texture without any heavy or sticky feel, which was impressive. 🙊 Fragrance: The floral fragrance is pleasant and refreshing, without any strong likes or dislikes. 💧 Ingredients: Free of parabens, silicones, and mineral oils, which allowed me, a sensitive skin user, to use it without any trouble. 🙈 Absorption: The non-greasy formula has a cooling effect, and it absorbs well into the skin, leaving a plump and bouncy complexion, living up to its name as a barrier-strengthening cream. 🖤 Overall: Some ceramide creams can feel heavy or too rich, but this is a very lightweight product that leaves a hydrating sensation without any floating or greasy residue. It's an effective and good cream. [It may be a bit too light and lack sufficient hydration for extremely dry skin types.]
Cons
The only downside is that the jar is quite heavy, and since I received it as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I was able to use it for free, but the price seems a bit high to purchase the product.
Tip
If your skin feels dry and rough, it's best to build a solid skincare routine with a toner before applying the cream to ensure your skin stays hydrated and not dehydrated.

Pros
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review🙂 Skin Type: Dry & Sensitive & Redness (Sensitive to Lavender Oil) 1. Fragrance When I first opened the product, there was a subtle fragrance, which is not bad, but since the fragrance is not from good ingredients and can be divisive, I thought it would be better if it was fragrance-free. 2. Texture It has a typical moisturizing cream texture, not too watery or thick. 3. Spreadability I usually apply a generous amount of cream, so at first, I scooped out an amount the size of my index finger and applied it to my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. It didn't fully absorb and left a slight residue on my skin, so I reduced the amount I used by half, and it absorbed well without leaving a residue, which was great~
Cons
There weren't any major downsides, but since I've only used it for about 10 days, I haven't experienced any dramatic changes yet. However, I'm satisfied that my sensitive skin hasn't experienced any breakouts and has maintained its condition. The price of 65,000 won is hmm..ㅜ.ㅜ I'll use it a bit more and then consider repurchasing.
Tip
I apply a generous amount before bedtime, and when I wake up, my face feels moisturized and great. Just be a little careful when applying it in the morning~

Pros
I have oily, troubled, and sensitive skin. I'm quite particular about cosmetics, so I tend to stick to the products that suit my skin. This is my first time trying Biotherm's other product lines besides their classic moisturizer. 🌟 Texture: It has a hydrating gel-like or lotion-like texture! I usually avoid rich creams during the summer as they can feel heavy, but this one isn't overly rich and has a nicely balanced, moisturizing yet bouncy texture. 🌟 Fragrance: I really dislike strong fragrances in basic skincare products, but this one has a subtle, aqua-like scent that's not overpowering. 🌟 Usage: I haven't used it for a long time, so I'll need to use it more to give a full assessment. But so far, it hasn't caused any major issues for my sensitive skin, which I'm satisfied with. Those with dry skin may find it a bit too lightweight, especially in the winter, as it gets absorbed quickly. But for my combination skin, the texture is just right.
Cons
I'm not a big fan of jar-type creams for hygiene reasons, so the packaging is a bit disappointing (no spatula either!). And the addition of fragrance in the ingredients is probably the biggest downside for me.

Pros
The texture is neither too thick nor too oily, making it perfect to apply. It's suitably moisturizing without being greasy, and it effectively tackles dryness. After using this cream and washing my face the next day, I can feel an improvement in my skin's condition. Using this product has definitely helped refine my skin texture. (This is my first time trying Biotherm, and now I understand why the brand is so popular! Aside from the scent, I don't think there will be much of a love-hate relationship with this product. Highly recommended!!)
Cons
At first, I was a bit surprised by the scent when I opened it! It was a little strong for me. But the more I used it, the more I got used to it and it seems fine now.
Tip
Just use a small amount, scooped up with your fingertips, and apply it evenly across your face. Applying too much can make it feel heavy.

Pros
The texture and application: At first glance, the texture seemed jelly-cream-like, very soft and supple. However, when applied, it felt heavier and firmer than a water-based cream, yet lighter than a rich, oily nourishing cream. It spreads smoothly and evenly, and just a light touch is enough to create a protective layer on the skin, without the need for excessive rubbing or absorption. I don't particularly enjoy creams that feel sticky or take a long time to absorb, so I really appreciated the texture and application of this cream. Moisture and oil balance: As a dry-skinned person, I prioritize moisture, and this cream, while not overly dewy, still provided a comfortable, non-drying wear throughout the day. It didn't leave an oily or greasy finish either. In fact, the matte-like finish helped control the oiliness from my sunscreen, which I found very beneficial. Fragrance: The cream has a refreshing scent. Coming from using fragrance-free products, I needed a couple of days to get used to it. Now, I barely notice it except when applying the cream. The scent may be divisive depending on one's preferences. Overall, this cream applies smoothly, creates a protective yet non-greasy finish, and keeps my dry skin comfortable and healthy-looking all day long. There's no stinging or irritation, and the texture and finish work well with my sunscreen. The moisturizing effect, while not overly dewy, still leaves my skin feeling plump and supple.
Cons
Since this cream has a noticeable fragrance, it's important to check the scent before purchasing, especially for those who cannot tolerate fragranced products. While the refreshing fragrance may be pleasant for those who enjoy it, and one can get used to it over time, it's a make-or-break factor that will likely divide opinions. These days, cosmetic prices can be quite steep, making price comparisons seem less meaningful. However, it's still worth keeping an eye out for discounts and sales, as even "affordable" products may not be as budget-friendly as one would hope. Monitoring promotion dates and stocking up during discounted periods can help make the purchase less burdensome on the wallet.
Tip
It's important to use the proper amount when applying this cream. Applying too much at once won't work well - you should start with a small amount, see how it interacts with your other skincare products, and adjust the quantity as needed. For extremely dry skin, it may be beneficial to apply a light layer of your regular moisturizing cream first, then follow up with this cream. I found this approach to be very effective, especially in preparing for the drier fall and winter seasons. The cream was able to provide a wonderfully nourished, supple finish. Since this is a one-size-fits-all cream rather than a product tailored for specific skin types, it's impressive that it can work well across different skin conditions. This versatility is a big plus, as finding a single cream that suits both dry and oily skin types can be quite challenging.

Pros
It was incredibly moisturizing! The spreadability was also good. There was no stickiness, it wasn't heavy, and it applied refreshingly!! And I didn't feel any dryness afterwards, and I was very satisfied! Based on the name, I actually thought it would be really thick like a final moisturizing cream, but the texture was thinner than I expected!! It felt almost like a blend of a moisture cream and a serum...? And I liked the packaging!! There's a plastic seal on the outside for hygiene, and it has a lid, so it felt very hygienic.
Cons
In my case, I did have some breakouts... The dryness was resolved, but breakouts appeared, and my mom and I used it together, but my mom, who has dry skin, said it worked well for her!!

Pros
As someone who personally enjoys the refreshing scent, I felt my mood lift as soon as I applied it to my skin.^^ It reminded me of the cucumber and lettuce line from Foodskin, which I'm familiar with. The texture had a medium consistency - not too watery or thick, but a moisturizing feel. After fully absorbing, my face looked very radiant and glowy.
Cons
However, each time I applied it, there was an initial sense of it sitting on top of my skin, not immediately absorbing. It had a slight whitish cast, similar to sunscreen. So I had to gently pat it in rather than just rubbing it on. On hot and humid summer days, my face would end up with little beads of moisture on it after application. I'm not sure if that's from it drawing in water or just perspiration. And on days when my skin is more sensitive, there's a slight tingling sensation. I don't mind it much, but those with very sensitive skin may find it unpleasant.
Tip
Be sure to thoroughly pat it in until the white cast disappears completely.^^ Avoid heavily layering it with other products.
