The texture is just right - not too thin or thick. It absorbs quickly into the skin when applied. After absorption, it doesn't feel sticky but leaves a firm, glowing finish that visibly improves skin texture. Best of all, it works well under makeup without pilling or feeling heavy. It's also excellent for improving blemishes. The only downside is the small size. I wish I could order a larger volume. - he**Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinSebum/BlackheadsDark CirclesWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRecommendedNov 14, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Skin Type: As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I absolutely can't stand sticky products! When I first applied it, I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it felt. While it does become slightly oily over time, it's not sticky or suffocating. It might be a bit much for summer, but it's perfect for this time of year and winter. Scent: I expected a floral fragrance, but it has a subtle, baby-like scent. I appreciate that the fragrance isn't overpowering. The only slight disappointment is the lack of a spatula. Other than that, I have no complaints. - si*********Oily SkinAcne SkinRecommendedNov 12, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit worried about trying a brand I'd never heard of before, but after using it, I'm wondering why I was even concerned - it's fantastic! The most satisfying aspects were how it applies and its finish. These are the two things I consider most important when it comes to creams, and this one nailed both. It applies super smoothly, almost like an emulsion, and the finish isn't sticky at all. Instead, it leaves your skin feeling refreshed! Don't let that fool you though - the hydration is still excellent. I was really impressed with how moisturizing it is! This makes me think it could work well for both oily and dry skin types. It's perfect for seasonal changes and winter. Unless it's the height of summer, I think even those with dry skin could use this comfortably in spring and early summer! Also, I felt like the ingredients in this cream really agreed with my skin. Not only did it not cause any blemishes, but it seemed to have a calming effect. I didn't experience any itching or even the tiniest breakouts! That was another huge plus for me. There weren't really any downsides, but like all creams, if you apply too much, it doesn't absorb as well. Because this cream is so moisturizing, it can take a while to sink in if you use too much. If you apply it in thin layers, you'll think 'Oh, it absorbs pretty well!' But if you add even a tiny bit more, it seems to take longer to absorb. So when applying before makeup, it's crucial to control the amount and apply very thin layers. Other than that, I didn't find any drawbacks! - nh****Combination SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It's packed with anti-aging components, and I love that it doesn't contain stearic acid, which usually causes my blemishes. Thanks to the great formulation, I didn't experience any breakouts while using it. Even with my sensitive skin, it worked wonders! I have seborrheic dermatitis, but this cream was gentle on my red, itchy, and tingling skin. The camellia extract, ceramides, and panthenol help care for the skin barrier without aggravating my skin condition. The anti-aging benefits are a big plus. While I can't speak to its effectiveness yet, I'm excited to keep using it. With eight types of peptides, I have high hopes for its wrinkle-reducing potential. It provides excellent hydration and nourishment. Perfect for the dry season! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, it suits me well. It transforms dryness into moisture naturally. Unlike some creams that feel oily on the surface but dry underneath, this one balances both the outer and inner layers of the skin. It moisturizes effectively, and when I apply makeup over it in the morning, there's no pilling or caking. My makeup goes on smoothly! I don't have any particular complaints. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the price is a bit steep! - zx******Dry SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I was impressed by the elegant postcard that came with it, and I love that the product container is made of glass. For a core cream, it doesn't feel heavy when applied! It feels like applying a regular moisturizer. After it absorbs, you can feel your skin plumping up and becoming more firm. ✔️The texture is great - it glides on smoothly. ✔️It's fragrance-free! It contains oil, so there's a slight shine after application! Given the price point, I'll have to think twice about repurchasing... - ra*****Combination SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

This cream absorbs moisture like a dream. I was surprised by how much thicker it is compared to other oil-rich creams. Yet it has a gel-like feel, so it's not heavy and absorbs quickly. They claim it helps improve wrinkles, firmness, and brightening in just 4 weeks. The jar is generously filled, so you can apply it liberally and still have enough for well over a month. Great value for the amount you get! Though it's not specifically marketed for blemishes, it's gentle and even helps soothe skin troubles. You don't often find products that nourish and strengthen the skin so effectively! I'm usually sneezing non-stop during my skincare routine due to fragrances, but this product is thoughtfully unscented. I plan to repurchase this until I find another cream that's just as good. This review is based on using only this product for a week. If you have oily skin, this should be sufficient on its own, except perhaps in the dead of winter. The squeaky sound when twisting the lid is a bit disappointing. The design is pretty, though! - tk**********Oily SkinSensitive SkinRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Usually, purified water is the main ingredient, but here, camellia flower extract is the primary component, which really lives up to the product's name. I loved that it even has anti-aging properties. Plus, it contains panthenol and ceramide NP for skin barrier protection and soothing effects. That's probably why it's called the Barrier Core Cream. I expected the texture to be thick, but it's actually a soft, fluffy consistency that applies smoothly. It absorbs instantly into the skin, which I found very satisfying. While those with dry skin might find it a bit light, it should work well if you layer it with a hydrating serum. I was worried the scent might be strong, but it's actually fragrance-free. I think this cream is suitable for sensitive, oily, and combination skin types. After using this cream, I'm tempted to try the essence from the same line. Overall, the ingredients and absorbs well were excellent. The only downside might be the price, which is a bit on the higher side. Other than that, everything was great. - ic*******Dry SkinRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

I was initially worried that since it's a cream, it might feel heavy and greasy. However, despite its rich texture, it wasn't heavy at all - instead, it felt soft and hydrating. My skin is extremely dry, but I usually avoid products with high oil content as they tend to make my skin greasy and cause blemishes. This cream, however, absorbs well into the skin without any stickiness. Its lightweight texture made it feel more like a hydrating moisturizer rather than a heavy nourishing cream. Moreover, it absorbs so well that there's no pilling or lifting, making it comfortable to wear without feeling heavy. As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy fragranced products, I appreciated that the scent was so subtle it was barely noticeable, making it pleasant to use. Well... its lightweight formula and how easily it absorbs make me want to use it generously. The only downside is that the price isn't exactly budget-friendly. You can apply it generously both morning and night without it feeling heavy on your skin. I personally use it with retinol oil in the evening, and I feel it makes my skin even more supple. - zo******Combination SkinSensitive SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessWrinkles/ElasticityEnlarged PoresRednessRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It's not too rich for a cream, feels light and fresh, making it perfect for spring and summer use. It's likely to suit those with oily skin types well, though it might be a bit dry for those with dry skin. The quantity is standard for a cream-type product. The most impressive aspect was the noticeable improvement in skin texture! Initially, I wasn't blown away, but after a couple of days, I noticed my skin texture had significantly improved. My slightly red and bumpy skin calmed down, redness reduced, and my skin became smooth and even. To confirm its effectiveness, I deliberately reduced the use of other products and focused on this one, and the results were clear. Plus, it brightened my complexion! My skin looked much clearer and more even-toned. The hydration level was a bit disappointing. Given the season, I was hoping for more moisture. After application, there was a slight tightness as time passed. I felt it lacked the deep hydration I was looking for, which was quite disappointing. I had to supplement with additional moisturizer or facial oil. I have combination dehydrated skin, but it didn't cause any major blemishes. The price is a bit high for the quantity provided. It would be nice if they offered a larger size option. After applying the Miroderm cream, I lightly layered on some popo cream. If you find the cream alone isn't hydrating enough, you might want to try adding a hydrating moisturizer or facial oil like I did. - jw*****Dehydrated SkinSensitive SkinAcne SkinBrightening/Dark SpotsSebum/BlackheadsInner DrynessEnlarged PoresRecommendedNov 11, 2022Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

It quickly leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth without being drying. If you've avoided creams because they feel heavy, you might love this one. It's not too runny, but has a nice, rich texture. The fragrance-free formula is perfect for those who are tired of or dislike scented skincare products. While it's lightweight, I haven't noticed any blemishes yet. However, I haven't used it long-term, so I'll need more time to evaluate. The advertised skin barrier strengthening effects aren't noticeable yet. There's only a subtle change in skin texture when applied before bed. Personally, I wish it was a bit richer since it's marketed as a cream. It can sting a bit when applied around the eyes. This ultra-lightweight cream is ideal for daytime use rather than as a night cream.
