There is a slight herbal aroma, which some may find unpleasant. However, the scent is not overpowering, and I actually found it reassuring.

Even though I'm in my 20s, I was surprised that my skin texture became so much better the next day after using it. I usually don't feel immediate improvements from cosmetic products, but this one was really great! I finished the whole bottle.

소생 진 크림

Hmm... the packaging is unnecessarily heavy? It would be great if it came in a more convenient and lightweight container at a lower price.

The first Korean herbal cream I used other than Sulwhasoo was Chogongjin, and I was surprisingly pleased with how great it is. The moisturizing power is incredible, and I was worried it might be too heavy for my age, but it's just perfect.

Apply the Sosaeng line in order, finishing with the cream. Occasionally, after applying the cream, use a beauty device in the lifting/firming mode for a 5-minute facial massage.

There are no major downsides. The only thing I considered is that a tube-style packaging might be more convenient than a jar that needs to be opened each time. It would likely be more travel-friendly as well.

The lid of the container looks like an old brass bowl, giving it a rather premium feel. The transparent plastic spatula that comes with the cream is rarely used, as ultimately one ends up applying the cream with their fingers anyway.

There was a preconception that Korean herbal cosmetic creams would be very heavy and oily, suitable only for middle-aged and older users. But after trying it, I regret not exploring Korean herbal cosmetics sooner. 

I'm currently using the entire Sosaeng line, and although I haven't been using it for long, the initial dryness was resolved within a few days of use, which was very satisfactory. One interesting point is that there is a subtle cooling sensation upon application, not an obvious chilling effect, but a gentle, soothing coolness.

Secondly, the cream has an unexpectedly bouncy, moisturizing texture. After applying the Sosaeng line in order, the cream itself seems to transform in texture when spread on the face - it feels less oily and heavy than expected, and more like a plump, hydrating cream.

You can purchase it even more affordably during Missha's sales.

The fragrance is a bit strong, so it might not be everyone's preference.
Apart from the fragrance, there's nothing else I'm dissatisfied with.

It seems to be a good choice to use in the fall and winter as it is moisturizing.
I purchased it with a first-time buyer discount from Missha.
I used it without high expectations, but it seems to be quite nice.

My skin tends to be dry, and when I use products that don't suit me, my skin texture immediately becomes rough and uneven.
However, this product maintains a smooth skin texture without causing any trouble.

It's not an oil-free product, so I've been applying it right after my toner and lotion lately, and it works perfectly. Even when I skip the essence, my skin doesn't feel dry. I usually experience a lot of tightness when my skin is dry, but this product keeps my skin moisturized and comfortable.

Additionally, there's a slightly plumping sensation when I apply this product.

🧡 The herbal scent of the product is absolutely overpowering. The strong fragrance was so intense that I couldn't bear it on the first day and had to wash it off. From the second use onwards, I was able to tolerate and get used to the scent.
The product is good, but the overwhelming fragrance makes it daunting to use. 😢 Also, the jar lid is extremely difficult to open.

💜 Current Skin Condition
- Lack of moisture, oily
- Severe dryness that feels like my face is about to crack during seasonal changes
- Visible flaky skin
- Redness

💚 I'm currently in the pre-stage of skin irritation, with severe dryness that feels like my face is about to crack during seasonal changes. Even though I have oily skin, I needed a rich cream for the winter season as the final step. I purchased the Missha Super Aqua Premium line, as it's considered their premium line. The cream is thick and rich, effectively moisturizing my skin. I was worried about skin sensitivity, but it was well-tolerated without any stinging or itchiness. I felt my skin become supple the next day after cleansing.

At night, I sometimes get lazy and skip the skin serum, just applying the cream, but this cream lacks a bit in moisturizing power when used alone.

The product is not sticky and has good absorbency, making it great for use in the summer.

It's a great product to use at night as it keeps the skin moisturized.

Everything else is good, but there's a bit of an oily feel that makes it a little shiny.

My skin is very dry and sensitive, except for the T-zone area. If I use the wrong cosmetics, my skin becomes bumpy and completely turns upside down.
When I first saw it, the cream product looked dense and chewy.
When I applied the cream, it spread smoothly and evenly, and I could feel the moisture being replenished.
It absorbs quickly and has a slight oily feel, so it doesn't dry out quickly.
My mom and I tried it together, and my mom was more satisfied! She said she felt a lifting effect and that her skin felt plump and bouncy.

I wish the packaging was a tube or a pump dispenser. The applicator (?) that came with it disappeared within a week. ㅠㅠ
Also, I'm not sure about the wrinkle improvement effect yet. I think I'll have to use it consistently to know about that.

I have typical combination skin with redness and sensitive skin, but since I have oily skin, I was afraid that the existing cosmetics would not be absorbed into my skin and would feel greasy. However,
this product does not feel like it is sitting on top of my skin, and as soon as I apply it, it seems to be quickly absorbed.
The moisture is also good, and there are no additional skin troubles, so it seems to suit my sensitive skin well.

If you apply it generously at night, sleep with it, and rinse with water in the morning, your skin will become beautifully radiant!

The scent is just like a typical cosmetic product. My mother, who is an elder, didn't like the fragrance.

I used this with my 50-year-old mother. (Neutral/Concern: Wrinkles)
Spreadability: It spread smoothly and evenly without any difficulty in application.
Absorption: There is a slight rich feeling, but it doesn't fully quench the skin's thirst. It's a bit thick and takes some time to absorb.
Wrinkle improvement: I didn't notice much, but my mother was very satisfied. She said her skin definitely became more radiant.

After applying a water-based moisturizing cream, I found this product spreads smoothly and absorbs nicely without feeling too heavy.

I don't think there are any downsides yet. It may be a bit heavy for summer use, but since I'm applying it at night before bed, it's not a major issue!

🌟Fragrance: This product has an extremely strong, single-note fragrance! As someone who prefers this type of natural scent over artificial fragrances, I found it quite pleasant.

🌟Texture: This is a common characteristic of products aimed at wrinkle improvement and skin regeneration - it's heavy and dense. After applying, you get a sense of your skin being coated in the morning. I applied a water-based cream first, and then this product, and found it spread smoothly and absorbed well!

🌟Efficacy: I'll need to use it more to know for sure, but after applying, my skin definitely looks more refined and brighter in tone‼️ My skin seems to be glowing!! I'll continue using it and add more to the review.

The spatula has a really unique shape that I've never seen before ㅎㅎ

The fragrance is reminiscent of the traditional herbal cosmetics used by the elderly, so it's likely to be very polarizing.
Of course, the scent doesn't linger on the skin, but the strong herbal aroma is quite pungent every time you open the product.

The texture feels slightly velvety, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue.
The balanced water-to-oil ratio is just right, and it doesn't cause skin troubles, but rather has a soothing effect!
