  Pros

  1. Thick, adherent application feel. Although it is a serum, it is not watery and has a lotion-like texture. It applies a bit thickly, but adheres well to the face, providing a pleasant feel. I recommend this for dry skin types.

  Cons

  1. Glycerin... Glycerin as an ingredient is not necessarily bad, but it doesn't agree with me. If glycerin is among the top 2-3 ingredients, my face always feels irritated. If you don't get along with the Kiehl's Hydrating Cream, this one may not work for you either. 2. Sometimes it applies thickly and has to be smoothed out. 3. Caused stubborn chin blemishes... The only product I've changed in my routine is the Optimal Serum Cream, and now I'm getting these hard, stubborn blemishes on my chin. It's not around my period, so it seems this product just doesn't agree with me. I've stopped using it.

  Tip

  Despite the name 'Optimal Hydration', the moisturizing effect doesn't last long (after 2-3 hours, my face isn't dry but not as dewy either). The product seems good, but there may be others like me who it doesn't suit. I'd recommend this for dry skin types who don't necessarily need heavy-duty skincare functionality.

  Pros

  I have combination skin that is both dry and oily. Lately, I've also developed sensitive skin that often breaks out due to fatigue. This lotion is quite versatile. It's not overly irritating and doesn't particularly provide soothing or nourishing benefits either. However, the moisturizing power is 👍👍 🍀It's so mild that anyone can use it easily. 🍀The finish has minimal stickiness, and it absorbs quickly. 🍀When used with toner and serum, the moisturizing effect lasts a long time. My skin feels so soft and smooth after morning cleansing. 🍀The packaging is hygienic and easy to use. Just a light press dispenses the product well. 🍀It applies smoothly. I thought it would be heavy since it claims 48-hour lasting power, but it actually spreads on easily! In summary, this is a great, versatile moisturizer that anyone can use comfortably.

  Cons

  When I first applied it, I felt a strange stinging sensation. However, it didn't cause any breakouts or hives. The discomfort goes away once it's fully absorbed. Those who need soothing effects or blemish care might want to consider other products. There's no cooling sensation at all, and I even felt a slight warming sensation while applying it. Individuals with severe breakout-prone or highly sensitive skin should be cautious with this product.

  Tip

  Layering it over toner and ampoule to intensely hydrate works well for me!

  Pros

  Although I initially thought the serum would have a watery texture, it actually has a lotion-like consistency that doesn't run, making it easy to apply. Compared to water-based serums, this one seems to maintain hydration better. The scent is familiar to those who have used Cetaphil products - a mild, slightly makgeolli-like aroma. Oily skin types may be able to use this product alone during the summer.

  Cons

  While the ingredient list didn't seem to contain anything I'm typically sensitive to, using this product makes my face feel irritated and flushed. At first, I thought the issue was just due to my sensitive skin, but after discontinuing use and returning to my regular skincare routine, my skin went back to normal. When I tried using this product again, the irritation came back. I'd recommend that those with sensitive skin test this product in person before purchasing.
