I'm also satisfied with the price.
ConsWhen used alone in winter, it can be a bit drying, so I'm mixing it with other products.

This product works great for me without causing any blemishes. Although it's a bit heavy for summer, even with my dry skin, I still use it because I know dryness can lead to premature wrinkles. My routine is to apply it generously at night and then just a thin layer during the day!
ConsI bought this cream purely for hydration, relying on serums for other skincare benefits, so I don't have any complaints about it.

It deserves to be much more well-known! I discovered it when I was clueless about winter skincare. My skin was extremely dry and tight, with a compromised skin barrier, leading to occasional folliculitis and dermatitis. Since using this, I haven't experienced any blemishes. It's especially effective for folliculitis - I apply a thick layer on red, swollen, itchy areas, and after 30 minutes, the inflammation subsides. You can even see the white folliculitis bumps coming to the surface. It truly brings your skin back to its normal, healthy state that everyone desires.
ConsThe price is quite steep. Why is Physiogel so expensive? It's best to purchase during sales.

I used it during summer, which might be why, but I didn't experience any deep dryness.
ConsThe application feels quite thick and heavy. When I apply makeup over it, I notice some pilling. While it doesn't cause blemishes, I didn't feel like it was particularly soothing or that it provided sufficient hydration.
TipI'll need to try it again in winter, but for now, I'm not planning to repurchase.

It applies gently and keeps my skin moisturized for a long time. Even though I have acne-prone skin, I haven't experienced any special blemishes with this.
ConsCompared to regular moisturizers, it feels slightly rich. However, it's fine if you don't apply too much.

Absorbs well - It feels really nice when applying, and there's hardly any scent, which I personally love. 2. Blemishes - I didn't experience any breakouts. Even during my period when hormones were fluctuating, my skin remained stable, similar to usual. 3. Dryness - I switched from Atobarrier, which is supposed to be good for dry skin, to this cream, and it's so much better at combating dryness! Highly recommended for those with extremely dry skin! While Atobarrier was okay in the morning, I'd still feel a bit of tightness when waking up. With this, I got the deep hydration I've been craving! My skin felt silky smooth during my morning cleanse! It also kept my dry body areas moisturized all day long when applied in winter. 4. After using for over 2 months - Overall, it's been great with consistent use. It's generally suitable for most skin types. On days when I had blemishes and dryness, applying this with a soothing gel before bed helped my skin recover by morning. For those who truly struggle with dryness or have super dry skin, this is an absolute must-try. Many creams for dry skin are often too rich, but this one strikes a good oil and moisture balance while effectively combating dryness. Though I tried this as part of The Hwahae Testers, I'm considering repurchasing for winter. It's far superior to other thick creams for battling dryness!
Cons1. Relieving itchiness? - Since I don't have sensitive, acne-prone, or itchy skin, I can't really comment on its effectiveness for itching relief! 2. Price - The price is pretty steep... I was seriously considering repurchasing when I was using just this product, unaware of its cost. It was better at combating dryness than my usual Atobarrier, had a nice texture, and seemed perfect for harsh winter use. But when I accidentally saw the price at Olive Young, I was shocked. It's so expensive that I've been using it sparingly ever since.
TipWinter care tip: I have combination skin with deep dryness on my cheeks in winter. Before bed, I layer a rich toner, the Relief Balm, and Dr.G Soothing Pack (it has an aloe gel-like texture, meant for overnight use). It works wonders! My skin feels plump when I wake up. After using it for over two months through winter into spring, I've adjusted my routine for spring. Now I use a light toner, emulsion, and the Relief Balm. This combination maintains a good oil and moisture balance. (My skin tends to develop blackheads and small pimples when the balance is off)

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAs a member of The Hwahae Testers, I received this product for review purposes. The texture is rich and absorbs well, making it perfect for itchy or dry body areas. After application, there's a slight glow on the skin's surface with a moisturizing finish that feels rich without being sticky. Even with my super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes and felt comfortable using it. The tube packaging makes it easy to control the amount and store conveniently. Usually, when I'm part of a testing panel, I feel pressured to write a review quickly after just a use or two. However, with this product, I almost missed the review deadline! I was looking to buy something for my dry, itchy body skin, and I've been using this so well that I forgot it was a test product - I thought I had purchased it myself! If you're dealing with dry, itchy skin, this will be a great addition to your winter skincare routine.
ConsWhile you can use this product on both face and body wherever you have dry patches, which is great for the dry season, the regular price might make you think twice about using it liberally.
TipI mixed it 1:1 with hand cream and applied it to my dry hands before bed. In the morning, it was like I had completely different hands!

It's particularly effective during cold, dry weather. I applied it not just on my face but also on dry body areas, and was satisfied with its non-sticky texture. Despite having skin that's prone to blemishes depending on ingredients, I used this product worry-free as it didn't cause any breakouts. While I didn't notice a calming effect on redness (as my skin isn't typically red), it seemed to brighten my complexion, perhaps due to balancing oil and moisture levels. - Usage routine: Applied every evening after cleansing, following toner. - Scent: True to Physiogel's style, it's fragrance-free, making it pleasant to use. - Texture: Being a balm, it doesn't feel like it absorbs instantly. - Packaging: Light and compact, making it convenient for on-the-go use.
ConsNo issues with the product itself, but the amount is relatively small for the price.
TipSuitable for all ages from babies to adults and all skin types, it's a good product to have on hand.

When applied in moderation, it doesn't sit on top of the skin and doesn't cause any tightness. I'd recommend this for those with dry skin and dead skin cells. It didn't cause any blemishes, and my skin felt soothed. Perfect for the dry winter months! Recommended for those with dry skin and dead skin cells, and when you need hydration and calming effects in winter. Personally, I didn't experience any blemishes.
ConsMy skin is combination - dry but also gets oily. If you apply too much, the oil tends to surface after a while... I think it's because of the high oil content in the product.
TipI recommend applying a moderate amount and using it before bed. You might notice a reduction in dead skin cells and feel like your skin is more soothed.

However, this product was gentle and didn't cause any breakouts, which I really appreciated. You often see Physiogel products in dermatology clinics, and there's a good reason for that! ❣️Fragrance This product is fragrance-free, making it ideal for those with scent sensitivities! ❣️Application The absorbs beautifully! It has a slightly runny texture, allowing for easy and even application without clumping in one area. ❣️Non-greasy I usually don't like creams because they can feel heavy on the skin, but this one is light and doesn't leave a greasy residue. It doesn't feel suffocating at all! In fact, it leaves a slightly powdery finish after a while, making it perfect for use not just on the face but anywhere you have dry skin. I highly recommend this to anyone who dislikes rich products!
Cons💧Price Physiogel products are somewhat pricey, so I recommend purchasing them when they're on sale. However, I'm satisfied because I believe it's worth the cost!
