Pros
Since I have atopic dermatitis, I'm very sensitive to humidity. Around the end of August, my skin starts to feel tight. That's when I order this product. I think I've been using it for about 3 years now. The moisturizing and nourishing properties are excellent.
Cons
The price is expensive :( I only buy it when it's on sale. When it's discounted, it's worth buying. The texture is a bit thick? The density is high, so you don't need to use much. I can use it all the way through the winter.

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
I mainly applied it in the evenings during the summer and slept with it, and I liked the tightening feeling on my skin. After washing my face in the morning, my skin felt soft and smooth, and it wasn't dry, which I liked. I'm not sure if it will suit me, so I'm using a small 30ml bottle first, and I'll repurchase the 50ml size once I finish it. And since I have somewhat sensitive skin, I was happy that there was no irritation or breakouts. It has a lot of moisture and nutrients, so I think it would be good to apply it in the morning during the winter as well.
Cons
There's not really anything I'm greatly disappointed with, other than the fact that the price is a bit high. But since I'm satisfied with the effectiveness, I suppose I have to accept the price. Oh, and those who don't like a sticky feeling might not be too fond of it. The application is a bit thick, and there's a sticky sensation after applying it.

Pros
The product has a rich, velvety texture that seems to prevent wrinkles, and when you wake up in the morning, you feel like something has been plumped up. It's a great example of the benefits of a night cream.
Cons
After using an expensive cream, this product didn't quite deliver all the functionality I was hoping for. The whitening effect could have been better too. Overall, it's just an average product for the price.
Tip
I apply it as the last step in my skincare routine before bed, massaging it into my skin with the warmth of my palms to help it absorb.

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!
