Despite having combination dehydrated skin, I need some oil in winter, so I was looking for a rich cream for the final step of my routine. I chose Missha's Cho Gong Jin line as it's their premium range. First off, it's a thick, concentrated cream that's effective for hydration. I was worried because my skin is sensitive to irritation, but it was well-received without any burning sensation or itching. The next morning during cleansing, I noticed my skin felt soft and supple.
ConsAs a traditional herbal product, the scent is... overwhelming. After applying it, the smell was so strong it gave me a headache, and I had to wash it off on the first day. From the second day on, I managed to tolerate it and got used to it. While the product is good, the intense fragrance makes it intimidating to use. Also, the case lid is very inconvenient to open. The case is enormous, and the texture of the lid when opening is cringe-worthy.

(Normal skin type/Concern: wrinkles) Absorbs: It applied smoothly without any difficulty. Absorbs well: It feels slightly rich. Rather than providing deep hydration, it's a bit thick and takes some time to absorb. Wrinkle improvement: While I didn't notice much difference, my mother was extremely satisfied. She said her complexion definitely became more radiant.
ConsScent: It has a typical traditional herbal medicine smell. While it might appeal to older generations, my mother wasn't a fan.
TipIf you apply it generously at night before bed and wash your face with water in the morning, your skin becomes incredibly radiant!

As someone who prefers natural scents over artificial ones, I found it quite pleasant. Texture: As is common with anti-aging and regenerative products, it's on the heavier, richer side. When you wake up in the morning after applying it, your skin feels like it has a protective coating. I applied a water-based moisturizer first, then layered this product on top - it spread smoothly and absorbed well! Effectiveness: While I need more time to fully assess, I can already see that it refines skin texture and seems to brighten the complexion! It appears to bring life back to the skin!! I'll update my review after using it longer. The spatula has an unusual shape I've never seen before - how intriguing!
ConsI haven't found any downsides yet. While it might be a bit heavy for summer use, since it's applied at night, it hasn't been an issue for me!
TipAfter applying a water-based hydrating moisturizer, you can layer this product on top for a lightweight, smooth application that absorbs well into the skin.

ConsAlthough I mentioned it's not heavy in the positives, despite its soothing-like texture, it feels like it forms a thin oil film on the face when applied. The lasting power seems shorter than expected. Even when I apply it generously like a sleeping pack at night, by the next morning, that plump feeling you'd expect from a sleeping pack is gone. The scent is herbal, but I expected that, so I'll give it a pass

This review is based on using about 10 capsules after receiving the product. ☆Elasticity: As I'm in my late 20s, I've been noticing under-eye sagging and cheek drooping. After using this product, my skin felt firmer. It gave a cooling sensation upon application. Despite its rich texture, when used sparingly, it seemed to balance the oil and moisture well on my skin. The most noticeable improvement was around my eyes - I had started developing fine lines, but after applying this product before bed, I saw significantly better results compared to other products! ☆Application: Although it has a thick, heavy texture like a nourishing cream, it actually spreads quite well. On mornings when my skin felt a bit dry, I tried using a small amount, but experienced some foundation pilling - possibly due to the product's richness or incomplete absorption. Given its heavy, rich formula, it might be challenging to use day and night in summer. ☆Repurchase intention: When I apply it generously at night, I wake up with skin that feels firm and not dry, which is more satisfying than other nighttime products I've used! I'll likely finish this jar and repurchase to use through winter. Most importantly, it was effective on the shallow wrinkles under my eyes! ☆Blemishes: While I'm prone to blemishes from pore-clogging ingredients, fortunately this product didn't cause any! It worked well even with my super sensitive skin.
ConsIt might be too rich for oily skin types! Careful control of the amount used is definitely necessary.
TipApplying this product with a makeup sponge, using a pressing motion, gave an intense cooling sensation and reduced skin heat! I usually apply skincare this way before makeup, but I tried it at night and woke up with amazingly firm skin!

However, since I prioritize performance, I went straight to applying it after cleansing. The texture is slightly thick, reminiscent of Greek yogurt. It's incredibly hydrating with a hint of richness, making it perfect for those with dry skin - I highly recommend it! While I'm not sure about its wrinkle-reducing effects, it does seem to have some brightening benefits. My complexion looks a bit more vibrant and clearer, if that makes sense?
ConsFor those with oily skin, applying this all over your face might make it feel a bit too rich.
TipThis cream works wonders not just on the face, but also on areas prone to pigmentation and wrinkles like hands, elbows, and knees. Try applying it right after a shower for maximum effectiveness! For those with oily skin, you might prefer using it as a targeted treatment on areas like under-eye wrinkles or other problem spots.

Since I'm prone to acne on my cheeks, I applied it to areas with wrinkles like my forehead and neck. In a pinch, I even used it as an eye cream substitute. It claims to have anti-wrinkle and brightening effects, but honestly, I couldn't really tell about the brightening. However, thanks to its rich texture and hydrating power, the wrinkles on my forehead didn't get worse, and some days they even looked better. It made me want to gift it to my mom. The scent is quite strong with herbal notes, which might be hit or miss for some people. I personally prefer unscented products. As long as you don't apply too much, it absorbs well and overall wasn't bad. The volume is quite generous too. I've uploaded before and after photos for reference.
ConsIt would be much more hygienic if the container had a pump dispenser. For me, the herbal scent was too strong.

Luckily, this cream was perfect for my skin type! The packaging reminds me of high-end traditional herbal cosmetics - clean and luxurious. It even comes with a spatula for hygienic application. I prefer rich creams, so I loved the thick texture. It's perfect for applying generously and rolling onto the skin before bed. I was amazed to wake up with noticeably improved skin texture. Some rich creams can cause bumps or dead skin cells, but this one absorbs well. I was very satisfied in the morning! The elasticity and hydration were great too. I'm not sure about the brightening effects yet since I haven't used it long, but I'm sure it'll improve with consistent use.
ConsThe scent is typical of traditional herbal cosmetics - you can tell what it is just by smelling it! While the fragrance is lovely, I've heard that strong scents can be problematic. Those with sensitive skin might not like it. Unfortunately, it contains 4 potentially harmful ingredients, which is disappointing. Other than these two points, I didn't find any other issues!
TipMy routine is: cream skin toner - firming stick - Chogongjin Firming Cream. When applying, I smooth it on against the direction of hair growth to aid absorption, making sure to include my neck. I use the heat from my palms to help it absorb. Then I repeat the layering and rolling process. No matter how good a product is, it's useless if it doesn't absorb properly! The absorption process is crucial. I recommend taking your time when applying. You'll really notice the difference in the morning!

The balance of hydration and oil is just right, so it doesn't cause any blemishes and actually seems to calm the skin down!
ConsThe scent is reminiscent of traditional herbal cosmetics that older generations used, which might be very polarizing. Of course, the fragrance doesn't linger on the skin, but every time you open the lid, you're hit with a strong herbal aroma that really strikes the nose...

I also appreciate that it's a traditional herbal-based product, which suggests it uses high-quality ingredients for skin care. The cream itself has a rich texture, and just a small amount applied with the spatula gives a wonderful boost of hydration. It's also helped to alleviate the intense tightness I used to feel after cleansing. However, the formula might be too rich for summer use.
ConsBeing in my early 20s, I found this product wasn't quite right for me, so I passed it on to my parents who seem to enjoy it. The scent is quite strong, combining traditional herbal notes with that typical department store cosmetics fragrance, which I find a bit off-putting. Those with sensitivity to fragrances should be cautious!
TipThis firming anti-aging cream works hard to restore and maintain beautiful, resilient skin that's lost its vitality! Recommended for those in their 30s and beyond.
