  Pros

  1. Energizing From the moment you scoop out this cream, you can feel its rich, nourishing quality! Despite its firm texture, it applies smoothly. I love how it doesn't feel thick but rather seems to meld with the skin. 2. Firming Balm True to its focus on firming, after application, my skin feels more supple in the morning. It's like my skin has become more elastic, almost like well-kneaded dough! 3. Eye Cream Combo I apply a small amount before my eye cream, and it seems to work wonders for preventing fine lines around the eyes.

  Cons

  1. Price It's truly wicked! Unless it's on sale, the small size with such a steep price makes me hesitate. However, its concentrated formula does last a long time. 2. Pores Not recommended for those prone to clogged pores. It can feel a bit heavy. While it's more of an improvement cream than a hydrating one, its balm-like texture might not suit those with oily skin. It can feel itchy and suffocating.

  Tip

  Eye Area Care: Apply a small amount around the eyes before your eye cream. It significantly improves eye area firmness, making your eye cream feel even more effective afterwards.

  Pros

  The Isoi brand is known for its high quality, and this firming balm is no exception. The ingredients are absolutely fantastic, providing deep nourishment and a tightening effect that you can feel all the way to your skin's core. It's like a perfect blend of a nourishing cream, firming treatment, and hydrating moisturizer! Despite being a balm, it's not heavy at all and absorbs beautifully into the skin. The difference between days when I use it and when I don't is truly noticeable. Even by evening, there's no feeling of deep dryness, and my cheeks maintain that plump, bouncy feeling.

  Cons

  The container requires using a spatula, which makes it somewhat vulnerable in terms of hygiene...

  Tip

  For those with super sensitive skin, I always apply a generous amount of this balm mixed with face oil on my cheeks before going out in winter. It's a must to protect against the cold wind!

  Pros

  1. Strong hydration 2. Skin-friendly ingredients + No blemishes 3. Improves elasticity While it's famous for being a firming cream, I bought the balm type as it suits my extremely dry skin better! For a balm, it absorbs surprisingly well. It has a chewy, cream cheese-like consistency. There's a subtle fragrance, but it's so delicate it's not off-putting. While the effects aren't dramatic, there's definitely more elasticity compared to when I don't use it. I haven't tried it in summer, but it's a holy grail hydrating product for dry autumn and winter months♥ When I apply it at night and wake up, my skin feels moisturized and soft :)

  Cons

  1. Price The ingredients are almost identical to the firming cream, yet it's more expensive. While it may not be the most budget-friendly, it's effective for its price point. 2. Application Naturally, being a balm type, it's rich - but personally, I wish it was just a tad less so. It would be nice if it spread a bit more easily, like an emulsion.

  Tip

  1. Buy it when it's on sale at the drugstore! 2. Use only at night, apply a thin layer as the last step of your skincare routine, spreading a small amount widely. It's also great for the eye and mouth areas. 3. If it feels a bit thick when applying, mix in a tiny amount of facial oil for easier application.

  Pros

  I feel like my skin might be getting a bit firmer... or maybe it's just my imagination... Either way, this seems to be a good firming cream for combination dehydrated skin. It provides adequate hydration without being too rich. No blemishes either, which is great!

  Cons

  I was a bit disappointed by the smaller-than-expected size, but as I've been using it, I realized a little goes a long way, so it should last quite a while. Also, the scent was surprisingly strong at first, but I've gotten used to it over time.

  It feels like my skin is moisturized deep down and becoming more elastic. I love how it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy.

  Cons

  There's really nothing to complain about... I'm absolutely planning to repurchase!
