Texture and Application ๐๐๐ Creamy pudding-like texture. Does not melt on the back of the hand and applies unevenly in clumps when applied directly to the face. Must be melted on the back of the hand and then applied in a thin, even layer. 2. Absorption ๐๐๐๐ Feels moisturizing immediately after application. People think it has poor absorption, but it's actually because the oil doesn't absorb well, not the overall absorption. The sticky feeling disappears after about 10 minutes. Leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. 3. Moisturizing ๐๐๐๐ Among the creams I've tried, this is one of the top 2 most moisturizing. The top 1 is the Esnature Squalane Cream. As it's a night cream formula, it has a decent amount of oil, so it's great for layering and applying multiple times before bed. In the winter, when exposed to cold winds or heated environments, the cream coating can disappear quickly, leaving the skin dry and flaky. So it's fine to apply generously even in the morning. However, avoid using it right before makeup application, as it can cause pilling. Definitely best suited for nighttime care... 4. Fragrance ๐๐๐๐๐ Almost fragrance-free, with a subtle, pleasant scent that won't be divisive. 5. Ingredients ๐๐๐๐๐ Among moisturizing products, this is one of the gentler ones with good ingredients and strong moisturizing power. ๐๐ป 5. Price I didn't know the actual price since a military friend bought it for me at the PX, but it might be a bit pricey to purchase at full retail price...
ConsIt takes quite a bit of time to apply, as you need to melt it on the back of your hand first to ensure good absorption. + As a side note, it's not suitable as a daytime cream before makeup! It pills terribly!!!
TipMelt it on the back of your hand first! Apply in thin, multiple layers!

After applying, there was no oily residue or feeling of heaviness, which was nice. It also seems gentle on the skin, which is good.
ConsThere are no disappointing aspects. However, when I put on makeup, it seems to slightly rub off, so I only apply a tiny bit.

It's a rich and dense cream, and it's possible to spread it thinly like melting it. My skin immediately looks more elastic, and even though I have oily skin, it doesn't feel stuffy.
ConsThe formula is a bit heavy, so it's more suitable for nighttime care than before makeup. If you apply it before makeup, you'll need to use an extremely thin layer, or else it will feel heavy.

I thought the cream would be very thick and sticky since it's a balm type, but it was easy to spread with my hands. I was able to apply it without any irritation! The scent was not strong or pungent, which I liked. These days in winter, no matter what cream I use, my skin gets dry, and with the mask constantly rubbing my skin, it has become very sensitive. I thought the balm type would be stuffy and sticky, but surprisingly, it was not at all heavy or thick. Rather, it finished very lightly, even lighter than other creams. So those who dislike a heavy, stuffy feeling on the face would really like this. I was the same way! With my skin being so dry these days, I've been looking for a highly moisturizing cream, and had to give up on the sticky, heavy feeling. But this was a pleasant surprise. However, I was worried that it might be too drying, that using just this as a final moisturizer before bed might be too drying. So for a proper test, I finished with a night cream. But it was not drying at all. I was really surprised the next morning. It applied smoothly without any unpleasantness, and rather felt refreshing. My skin was not dry at all, and felt thoroughly moisturized, no longer stiff from dryness. I'm very satisfied, very satisfied. If you're struggling with dry skin, please do try this. It's not a one-time fix, but helps restore the overall condition of the skin! Now the dryness, redness, and sensitivity are all resolved. For these reasons, I would recommend this to those with dry, combination, and oily skin types.
ConsThe most disappointing aspect was the texture. When I applied it to my skin and touched it with my hands, it seemed to just slide off like a mask, so it might be a bit difficult to apply before makeup. Also, when I first applied it to my sensitive skin, there was a slightly stinging sensation. Since my skin was already quite red and sensitive, that may have been the reason, but I did feel a bit of stinging right after the first application. However, this symptom disappeared the next day after my skin condition had recovered.
TipI think this is perfect as a night care product. I would recommend applying it generously before bed, and then thoroughly cleansing it off in the morning before applying makeup and other products.

It's also sensitive, so I often get breakouts. Whether it's dry or oily, I tend to get a lot of breakouts... My skin is just awful, haha. Since wearing masks, the breakouts have been coming back again, ugh. That's when I came across the Chagarest Sleeping Cream. It also contains the benefits of houttuynia cordata. I wanted to try it out and compare it to my usual cream, so I alternated between using my regular cream and the Chagarest Sleeping Cream. The cream was a perfect fit for my sensitive skin - it really calmed down the breakouts, and on the days I didn't use the sleeping cream, my skin felt dry. There was no stinging, and my skin looked clearer and brighter. The breakouts visibly decreased, which I loved! (See photo) And when I woke up, my skin felt nicely moisturized. I think using this with other products would make the effects even better. 1. Houttuynia cordata benefits: It has detoxifying (antibacterial) and anti-inflammatory (antiseptic) properties. The abundant quercetin in houttuynia cordata expands capillaries, brightens the skin, and helps soothe skin troubles, making it a great ingredient for people with atopic dermatitis. 2. Chaga mushroom benefits: It has anti-cancer effects and can remove free radicals in the body, helping to prevent skin aging. It also strengthens the immune system and lowers cholesterol. 3. Fragrance: It's almost fragrance-free, with a faint, subtle scent. 4. Moisturization: It's not so much "moisturizing" as it is intensely hydrating. 5. Application: It has a rich, creamy texture that spreads very smoothly. When I first received it, I thought the amount was a bit small, but after using it, I realized a little goes a long way. I ended up applying too much at first, making it feel too thick. 6. Packaging: It's small and compact, with a simple and nice design.
ConsOne downside was that since it's a sleeping cream, it may depend on skin type, but it felt more like a mask than a regular cream. It spread on the skin smoothly, but left a slightly whitish, pilled-up feeling, and I had to massage it in more times than my usual cream for it to absorb properly.
TipAfter cleansing your face at night and toning your skin, if you just apply the Chagarest Sleeping Cream without any other products, you'll wake up with incredibly moisturized and supple skin! Also, I recommend using a dedicated cream spatula to scoop out and apply the cream, instead of your fingers. Your hands can have a lot of bacteria, so be sure to wash them thoroughly before applying the cream.
