You can expect a sensation of soothing hot, flushed skin with a cool touch.
ConsHowever, for my skin, it had the opposite effect and actually caused a warming sensation. Maybe because I have super sensitive skin, I felt uncomfortable after using it, and the texture was too rich, making application unpleasant. I think it might not suit those with sensitive skin prone to redness like mine.

It adheres to the skin instantly. It's not sticky at all, leaving my skin feeling incredibly fresh after application.
ConsWhile the absorption and non-sticky texture are top-notch, I keep getting massive blemishes after using this. I splurged 30,000 won on this product because of its claim to be suitable for combination dehydrated skin and Avène's reputation for gentleness. The first day was great, but from the second day onward... oh no! Blemishes appeared, so I took a break. When I tried again, it only reactivated my barely-healed contact dermatitis. It's like throwing 30,000 won into thin air! The scent, though a bit strong, was a fragrance I enjoyed. I thought I'd found a winner and even bought Avène's mist, Cicalfate line, cleansing water, and foam cleanser. But it seems the French thermal water is too potent for this delicate Korean skin. I'm in a rush to list everything on the secondhand market now. Avène products seem incredibly gentle and nice at first use, but it's as if the toxicity builds up over time? The mist is supposedly just thermal water, and initially, it feels so soft and soothing. But the more I use it, the more irritating it becomes. Suddenly, even my trusty Bioderma started disagreeing with my skin, leading to contact dermatitis. I invested in these products because of their reputation for gentleness, but they turned out to be poison for my skin.
TipThis seems suitable for those with oily, dry, or robust and healthy skin. The fragrance is strong, and perhaps due to it being a Western brand, there's an intense texture that might be irritating. Those with thin or sensitive skin should definitely patch test first.

It seems this product doesn't suit my skin type.
ConsWithin minutes of applying, my skin started burning as if I had a sunburn. The next morning when I woke up, I had blemishes all over my face and my skin was completely irritated. This product really doesn't seem to agree with my skin type at all.

The pigments seemed to give a cooling effect too.
ConsWhen I used it alone at night, it was somewhat okay, but when I applied sunscreen over it, something appeared around my eyes. I was sad to see something form on my eye area, which usually doesn't produce any oil at all. Overall, it felt like it was clogging my pores, so I stopped using it after two applications. It's unfortunate since I'm prone to clogged pores. My skin is sensitive to heavy coverage, so I can't even think about using cosmetics or hair essences with high silicone or glycol content. Ironically, mineral oils or other oils are fine for me.
TipThis is best suited for those who don't easily get clogged pores.

It seems to absorb well and would likely suit oily skin types.
ConsThis might be great for those with extremely oily skin. I mentioned good absorption as a plus, but I'm not sure if it actually absorbed or just... disappeared? Even when I apply it generously, after a few minutes it feels like I haven't applied anything at all. My skin doesn't feel smooth, but rather too tight, which I don't like. I had to layer my usual cream on top. Also, even though I don't have super sensitive skin, there's a slight burning and tingling sensation when I apply it. It's only been two days, but I've suddenly developed blemishes, though I'm not sure if the cream is to blame. If it doesn't improve after a few more days, I might just use it on areas where I've removed hair.

So, I had high hopes for this product from the same line! - Cooling effect It immediately lowers skin temperature, feeling refreshingly cool upon application. This could be great for soothing skin if it suits you. - Non-sticky Unlike most products I use that feel sticky until fully absorbed, this one sinks in right away, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. It makes you want to keep touching your face! - Refreshing scent I'm not usually bothered by fragrances, and I quite enjoyed this product's cool, clean scent. - Doesn't clog pores Some creams feel like they're just coating the skin's surface, but this one seems to really penetrate, which I appreciate.
Cons- Acne trigger I rarely get pustules on my forehead, but after using this, two popped up. - Skin irritation It stings a bit when applied. With continued use, my skin became red and felt like my skin barrier was breaking down, so I had to stop testing. - Doesn't address deep dryness I'm not sure if I just have particularly dehydrated skin, but unlike other reviewers, I found this product didn't help with my dryness.
TipRecommended for oily skin types with a strong skin barrier rather than combination dehydrated or dry skin.
