First of all, there were no breakouts from the product ingredients. As an Avène product, it fits well with the price range, and I used the mist and SOS cream quite well. While this product doesn't have the same outstanding soothing effect, it works well as a decent moisturizer for fall and winter. For my combination skin, it feels a bit lighter than the SOS cream, which is nice. If you apply just the right amount, you get a slight oily film on the surface, rather than deep hydration. It's a gel cream, but there's a bit of residual oiliness. Not bad, but for oily skin types, it might not be necessary. I think it would work best for dry skin types. For combination skin like mine, it could be good for the winter season. While I would recommend it, consider your skin type and the season when using it.
ConsThe main disappointment is that it feels quite oily. The SOS cream has a thicker texture, so when applied to problem areas, it doesn't move around too much, making it good to use at night for that purpose. But this product is much more fluid, so it tends to spread across the entire face rather than staying localized. On the first day, I applied a bit too much without knowing the texture, and it didn't absorb well, leaving a white cast. I had to wipe it off with toner and reapply a smaller amount. The next day, the oiliness was excessive, and I had some small breakouts. Oily skin types really need to be careful with this one!
TipBoth photos show the SOS cream on top and the product in question on the bottom. The product feels much more fluid than the SOS cream, and has the typical Avène white cast and oiliness, so I recommend applying it sparingly all over.

It seems good for sensitive skin as well.
ConsWhile applying, there is a feeling of slipperiness, but as time passes, it gets absorbed into the face.
TipWhen you apply a little on top of the already moisturized face, it makes the face feel even more moisturized.

The formula is gentle and simple enough for even infants to use! It's accessible for anyone, so both my husband and I could use it. 👍The packaging and dispenser are clean and easy to use. It's designed to prevent contamination from air, which is good. Plus, the pump makes it even more convenient to use. However, the narrow width makes it a bit difficult to stand up, so you'll need to lay it down to use. 👍Fragrance-free!! I prefer fragrance-free products since I'm pregnant. It wasn't the case before. But you know that fragrances are a completely unnecessary ingredient in terms of functionality, right? It was hard to give up the pleasant scent, but I got used to it, and the mysterious itchiness has disappeared, which seems to be better. 👍Comfortable application! It says '10-minute calming' on the label, and the smooth application doesn't cause any irritation. After application, my skin feels comfortable.
Cons🟠Not very effective on normal skin... Since this cream is effective for 'calming,' it didn't have a significant effect on my skin, which doesn't have any major issues. It claims to reduce heat, but for someone like me who doesn't have acne or heat-related skin problems, it just felt like a gentle lotion. I think this product would show its true value when the skin is inflamed or irritated. 🟠It leaves a residue. I tested it by only applying the toner, trying to use it alone. I used a small amount, but there was a residue on the outer part of my cheeks, so I had to pat it in to absorb it. It was fine after it was absorbed, but if you apply too much and don't pat it in, it might leave a greasy residue.
Tip🐝🍯Apply a small amount and pat it in to absorb it!! 🐝🍯Be sure to use it when your skin is inflamed!

It has a moderate thickness, spreads evenly when applied, and absorbs well. Those who usually only use moisturizers or essences may find it a bit heavy. The application is as described earlier - it has a slightly thick texture when squeezed out of the tube, but applies smoothly and comfortably once on the skin. It's perfect for trapping moisture and preventing it from evaporating, as recommended in skincare routines. There's a subtle oily sensation during application, but once absorbed, the skin is left with a healthy glow and a thin, even oil layer. This product is not recommended for those who only want a moisturizing effect without the oil. This product would be great for use during seasonal transitions and winter. It may be too heavy for summer. For my combination skin (dry cheeks, slightly oily T-zone), this product is perfect for the current transitional period. After applying it as the last step, my skin is left with a pleasant glow that lasts until the next morning. I recommend using just one pump of the product. Using two pumps can lead to a heavy, unpleasant oily sensation, especially at night. One pump is just right. Due to the oil content, this product works very well as a pre-makeup primer. After applying sunscreen, using a small amount of this product allows my makeup, whether a dewy or semi-matte foundation, to apply and blend beautifully. This seems to be an excellent pairing for winter. I'll continue using and refining my thoughts, but so far I'm quite pleased with this product. The best part is how well it allows my makeup to apply and last.
ConsThis product is not recommended for those with oily skin. If the application amount is not properly controlled, it can cause the makeup to slip or feel sticky. Thank you for the additional information.

As it's the seasonal change, I felt that just using a skin lotion was not enough for basic skincare, so I was satisfied that I could use a cream to lock in moisture. I'm looking forward to the effect of the probiotic ingredients strengthening my skin barrier. I think applying it as the next step after an ampoule in the spring, fall, and winter will increase the moisturizing power! And I was satisfied that the packaging is hygienic to use. Instead of a heavy moisturizing feel, I felt that it was deeply absorbed into my skin, making my skin healthier. I think it's better to apply it at night before bed rather than in the morning.
ConsSince the price range is a bit high, I think I'll only consider purchasing it when it's on sale. When I apply it in the morning, there's a slight heaviness, so you have to be careful with the amount. Otherwise, it can get cakey and you'll have to wash your face again...ㅜㅜ As good as the moisturizing power is, the absorption is a bit slow, which is a shame. It might be difficult to wait for it to be fully absorbed during a busy morning.
