Pros
It's chewy and highly nutritious. I like it. The texture is like a chestnut, and I can feel the oiliness.
Cons
There's not much that I'm disappointed about. It's a bit more expensive than other creams?

Pros
I tried the night cream type for the first time and it suits my skin well, so I used it well from winter to spring. Even when applied generously, it doesn't cause any blemishes, so I used it comfortably. The texture is heavy, but it melts well when applied. It's a bit glossy right after application, but it's not the greasy feeling of a typical cream, and it feels deeply moisturized down to the skin. It doesn't smear when made up. I've been using it well until May, and I think it would be good to use it like a pack at night in the summer.
Cons
Price. You can buy it at a discounted price as Amore Pacific often provides discount coupons on the Amore Pacific app.
Tip
I use a cotton swab to scoop and use it. Since it's a balm type, it's easy to scoop with a cotton swab.

Pros
1. Energizing Even before applying the cream, I felt a highly nourishing sensation from scooping it out! The texture is quite firm, but the spreadability is not bad either - it doesn't apply too thickly, but rather adheres nicely. 2. Firming Balm Focused on firmness, after applying it, I felt a plump, supple sensation in the morning. It's like the feeling of well-kneaded dough. 3. Eye Cream Combination I lightly apply this before my eye cream, and it seems to help prevent eye wrinkles.
Cons
1. Price It's truly evil ㅠ I hesitate to buy it unless it's on sale - the small size has an outrageous price. But it's so dense that it lasts a long time. 2. Pores Not recommended for those with clogged pores. It feels suffocating. Since it's more of an improvement cream than a hydrating one, and it's a balm type, it may not be suitable for those with oily skin. It feels irritating and stuffy.
Tip
Eye Care. Apply a small amount around the eyes before using eye cream. It really helps firm up the eye area, so I feel an even more lifted effect after applying the eye cream.

Pros
Fragrance: The rose scent is subtly present. Moisturizing: I tested it and it absorbs very densely and evenly. Texture: It has a dense, balm-like cream texture.
Cons
The price is a bit high, so it's not easy to purchase without a discount. There are no other downsides so far.

Pros
1. Strong moisturizing power 2. Clean ingredients + No trouble 3. Improved elasticity While the famous one is the firming cream, the balm type seems to suit me better as I have severe dryness, so I purchased it! The balm type has decent spreadability for a balm. It has a creamy cheese-like viscosity The fragrance is subtle and not unpleasant. There are no dramatic effects, but there is some improvement in elasticity compared to when I don't use it. I'm not sure how it performs in the summer, but it's a great moisturizing product for the dry autumn and winter seasons♥ When I apply it at night and wake up, my skin is left soft and supple :)
Cons
1. Price The ingredients are almost identical to the firming cream, but the price is higher. The cost-effectiveness is lower, but the price-to-effect ratio is still there. 2. Spreadability As it's a balm type, it's understandable, but I personally wish it was just a tad less rich in texture. I'd prefer if it spread a little more smoothly like a lotion.
Tip
1. Purchase it when it's on sale at the drugstore! 2. Use it only at night, apply a very thin layer as the final step in your skincare routine. It's also good for the eye and lip area. 3. If the spreadability feels a bit thick, mix in a tiny amount of facial oil and apply it.

Pros
I use the same line of brown bottle ampoules, and they work better for me than the yellow incentive ones. I purchased them because they seem to suit me better (personally, I think they're better than the Estée Lauder brown bottle ones). If you feel like everything you apply dries out your skin, you'll likely be satisfied with this product. It's a night-type cream, so it's best to scoop it out with a spatula and apply. The texture is like a chestnut cream that goes into bread. When you rub it into the back of your hand or face, the moisture just bursts out. It applies comfortably on the face and effectively addresses inner dryness. The moisturizing effect lasts a long time and it's just wonderful. When you wake up, your skin feels calm and supple. This is a lifesaver during the dry season.
Cons
The price is on the higher end compared to Isoyi's other products. If shea butter doesn't agree with you, you should avoid this.
Tip
You need to really massage and melt it, whether on the back of your hand or on your face, to fully experience the burst of moisture from this product!

Pros
This is truly amazing. The texture is thick and ointment-like, yet a small amount spreads thinly and evenly. Most importantly, it has addressed both my persistent dryness and lack of moisture, which I had been struggling with. My skin was extremely dehydrated, and the Isoi 'Takhyeol Lotion' helped a bit. But from fall onwards, that wasn't enough, so I tried various creams like Physio x, Beyond x Phyto Aqua Moisture Cream, and Swanicoco Super Moist Cream. They were good, but the tightness would return after some time. My mom was using the Isoi Energizing Intensive Cream (the white one) and decided to try this one. She said it has less oil but is even less drying than the previous one. So I secretly tried it too. It's fascinating how this ointment-like texture doesn't feel oily at all, yet it doesn't make my skin feel tight all day long... I've tested it at the office, and it doesn't make my skin feel dry there either, which was a common issue before. Instead of trying various essences, oils, mists, and creams, I think I'll just stick to this one from next fall and winter. I've never experienced such a stable and long-lasting moisturizing effect before. It's truly amazing!
Cons
At least the price is reasonable! But the product is so good that I'd rather just buy this one instead of trying various other things.
Tip
For those who feel it lacks oil, you can add a drop or two of oil when applying. But it's so non-drying that you probably don't need to worry about the lack of oil.

Pros
This time, the Isoi Intensive Energizing Repair Balm! Even though I still have the Energizing Cream, I bought it again. Hmm.. If the Energizing Cream has a nourishing feel, the Balm is full of moisture!! I thought the balm texture would have poor spreadability, but that was a misconception!! Surprisingly, the spreadability is also perfect!!
Cons
Hmm.. The ingredients are good, and if I have to point out a downside, it would be the rather evil price? Haha Other than that, I like everything and I have the intention to repurchase!!
Tip
During the bitterly cold winter! It's not always best to apply multiple layers of basic skincare, so before makeup, I mix the balm and cream 1:1 to apply. This not only provides deep hydration and moisture, but also gives a radiant glow!
