The price is a bit on the higher side, which is disappointing. Also, it seems like they frequently reformulate - the ingredient concentrations changed when I bought it, and now it looks like they've changed again...?

I used up the entire 100ml tube. It's fascinating how it has a gel-cream texture but feels so hydrating. I love that it's fragrance-free and absorbs well. It might not be the best match for products that are very rich in oils.

피토 아쿠아 크림

It's a bit sticky, so your hair might cling to your face a little. However, if you give it some time to absorb, it becomes more manageable and quite usable.

This cream is perfect for the dry weather we've been having lately. The scent isn't overpowering, and I love the rich, creamy texture. While it's slightly sticky, I didn't find it bothersome at all.

There's nothing to dislike about it, which is why I've been using it as my go-to moisturizer for years.

The moisturizing formula absorbs well and isn't irritating. I love that it doesn't cause pilling when I apply makeup afterwards.

It's expensive. But it's okay if you buy it on Coupang since it's cheaper there. I recommend Coupang.

My mom gave me 10 samples she wasn't using, and I've been using them for quite a while since I couldn't finish them all at once. After using them up, I loved it so much that I ordered the full-size product. My face definitely looks brighter, feels moisturized without being sticky, and the product seems to work well. I feel like my skin has improved somehow... My overall skin condition is better too.

I'm using it with satisfaction and plan to continue using it in the future.

A cream I've been using for over a decade. It's been great even for my super sensitive skin

After using this for just a day or two, I developed tiny bumps on my skin... It seems this product doesn't agree with me, unfortunately.

I loved how it felt firm on my skin, reduced the sensation of heat, and seemed to provide a nice boost of hydration.

It's expensive. I'm comparing it with Aqua, but I can't tell the difference.

I've been using this for over 5 years and it's fantastic. It's the ultimate solution for sensitive, dehydrated skin!

IMPORTANT★★★
Using this alone will definitely leave you dry!!! Unless you have extremely oily skin, remember there's a whole Phyto Aqua line.
There's a lighter emulsion that goes on before this cream.
Make sure to buy and apply the emulsion first, then follow with this cream.
Do that, and you won't feel dry even with makeup on or in winter!
You don't necessarily need to use the Phyto line toner > Toners require a lot of product, and this one's truly terrible value for money. I recommend getting a large bottle of another gentle, popular toner and applying 3-4 layers generously.

If the price is absolutely out of the question,
Beyond has an 'Angel' Aqua moisture line.
I've tried it, and it feels almost the same with similar hydration, but much better value for money, so I'd recommend that line.

The price, the price, the price!
Also, the glass jar packaging is heavy and unhygienic. It's inconvenient in so many ways... Why are creams still released in jar form?
Please, I'm begging for a lightweight tube packaging!

Holy grail status! 
Sure, the price might make you go 'Whoa, what's the deal?'
But honestly, nothing beats how gentle this is.
As someone with extremely sensitive skin, eczema, and dermatitis,
I can confidently say the Phyto Aqua line is the gentlest of the gentle.
I've been there, so for those struggling with skin issues or sensitive souls still searching for their perfect skincare routine, I absolutely, positively, 100% recommend this!

1. When I first tried this cream, I was younger, less dry, and had oilier skin. It was summer too, which made it worse. Back then, the cream felt too heavy, and I regretted buying it. But because my skin got dry from acne medication, this cream ended up working perfectly with the acne ointment, and that's how it became a staple. So, if you have oily skin, you might find it too heavy.

2. As I'm getting older, my skin is becoming drier, so now I use it best in summer. While this could be seen as an advantage, the fact that it doesn't fully address deep dryness in winter is a drawback.

3. Possibly due to the hyaluronic acid, there's a sticky feeling. It does get better over time, but you need to put effort into absorption. If you apply makeup before it's fully absorbed, it could be a major drawback.

4. It might sting a bit when your skin is sensitive. Interestingly, while this cream has never made my skin sensitive - it's that gentle - on days when my skin is acting up, it can feel a bit tingly. It's hard to criticize this though, because on those days, applying just this cream and some dermatitis ointment actually helps my skin recover. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the cream itself or just a normal reaction.

I've been using this cream consistently since before its reformulation, and it still works great for me even after the update. I've gone through several bottles. Whenever I try to switch to something else, my skin's oil-moisture balance gets thrown off immediately, and I end up returning to this cream like a salmon swimming upstream. So far, nothing else has matched this cream's ability to balance my skin's oil and moisture levels.

Now that I'm getting older and my skin has become drier than before, this cream works best for me in summer out of all four seasons. During periods when my skin is oilier than usual, I mix in a bit of toner. When it's drier, I layer my skincare carefully, apply this, and then top it off with a richer cream. If you have combination dehydrated skin, you can use this year-round. For oily skin types, it's best for winter use. However, I wouldn't recommend it for very oily teenage skin, but I do recommend it for those undergoing acne treatment.

Apart from feeling a bit pricey, I don't really have any complaints.

The hydration is pretty good, and it's gentle enough for blemish-prone skin. After application, there's no sticky feeling, and it's lightweight, making it easy to apply. I've been using it happily. When my skin was going through a rough patch with lots of blemishes, I applied this, and it worked wonders.

I love mixing it with face oil and applying just this. It keeps my skin so beautifully hydrated.

The container is quite heavy due to its thick glass. Also, it has a slightly sticky feel. The finish isn't exactly matte or powdery.

It's a rich, plump moisturizer with a luxurious texture. Unlike other brands' moisturizers that somehow feel lacking, this one keeps my skin hydrated for a long time. It doesn't cause pilling even when I apply makeup over it.

Personally, I found more drawbacks than positives. While it feels moisturizing upon application, the finish isn't as fresh as I'd like - there's a slightly sticky residue that I'm not fond of. The included spatula, both in terms of design and the need to store it separately, proved inconvenient, so I ended up not using it at all. These aspects were really disappointing.

True to its name, this Aqua Cream delivers ample hydration. It's perfect for when your skin feels particularly dry. I also appreciated that it seems to be fragrance-free!
