I invested a fair amount through the crowdfunding campaign. Given how easily my skin reddens and hurts, I decided to give it a try and used it for about 3 weeks. To be completely honest, there wasn't any dramatic skin-strengthening effect in just 3 weeks. However, being a balm, it provides excellent hydration and eliminates skin dryness. Plus, perhaps due to its quality ingredients, it causes absolutely no skin irritation. I noticed that applying a thick layer after laser treatments seemed to soothe my skin relatively quickly. Since it's a balm, a small amount goes a long way in covering the entire face, so I expect it to last quite a while. I also tried the cream sample that came with it, and I found it spreads much more smoothly on the face. I think I'll try the cream version next time.
ConsIf you apply it too thickly, it can cause your makeup to pill. If you're applying makeup afterwards, I recommend using a different cream or applying this balm very thinly. Also, if you apply the Cera Balm on top of toner and essence while your skin is still moist, it tends to slide around and not absorb well. I apply the Cera Balm alone after cleansing, and I find it spreads easily and absorbs well when used on its own. If you have very dry skin, I suggest letting your toner or essence absorb fully before applying this balm.
TipI noticed that even without makeup, applying the Cera Balm too thickly can cause pilling. So, I recommend applying a thin layer during the day when you're active, and only using a thicker layer before bed. This way, you can avoid the inconvenience of pilling while still allowing your skin to absorb the product effectively.

It's packed with ceramides and other ingredients that help with moisture. A small amount provides sufficient hydration. After application, it feels truly velvety without any stickiness or tackiness. It's like creating a protective barrier as the final step in your skincare routine.
ConsFor someone with very dry skin like me, the absorption is disappointing. It has a waxy, stiff texture that clumps together and doesn't spread well. When I apply makeup over it, it pills and clumps up, coming off like dead skin cells. In the morning when I wash my face, I'm not sure if I can feel the hydrating effect.
TipI recommend using it as directed - scoop it with a spatula and apply it immediately while your skin is still damp. It's best to use small amounts in multiple layers for optimal results.
