The hydration lasts long. Usage period: I've been using it consistently since the Ariul's Nap days. Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin with occasional blemishes. Extremely sensitive due to frequent skin treatments, thin skin. I've been using this since I first bought it during a Wadiz funding campaign for Ariul's Nap! I use both the white and blue versions together! Haha This blue cream is... gentle and makes my skin feel moisturized and soft. It's perfect for applying at night. My skin is super sensitive and usually stings and turns red when I apply products with various ingredients, but this one doesn't cause any of that. Especially during this holiday, I had a skin treatment, and even the hydrating ampoule recommended by the clinic was too stinging to use. So I thought, 'Let's try this instead,' and surprisingly, there was no stinging at all, and it even calmed down the irritation. When I applied the blue one, it felt like it created a protective barrier??? It felt like it was protecting my irritated skin. Also, as I have combination dehydrated skin (I was acne-prone during my school days), I used to have quite severe redness, but after using this, it's like my skin's moisture balance has improved. The redness has significantly reduced, and my complexion has brightened noticeably. In the past, I thought I had oily skin, so I used creams that were purely hydrating, but that actually made my skin produce more oil. The Nautical blue cream, when applied, doesn't feel oily, but it's not just hydrating either. It has a slightly rich feel that's just right, so when I wake up, my skin definitely feels soft. The ingredients are gentle enough for babies to use, so I trust it. I used to get so tired of searching for products by watching YouTube and reading blog reviews, but now that I've found my holy grail product, it's so convenient and great!
ConsAt first, I thought applying a thick layer would make it more moisturizing, so I put on a lot, but it started to pill. A thin layer is sufficient. The previous packaging was aluminum-like, which made it a bit inconvenient to squeeze out every last bit, but the renewed packaging seems more user-friendly.
TipI recommend applying a thin layer. If you feel it's not enough, try layering it thinly multiple times. When I have time, I sometimes use a spatula to apply it. It feels like it absorbs better that way!

Recommended skin types: Sensitive, dry, and blemish-prone skin • My skin is extremely dry, so I usually apply cream multiple times in the morning and evening, even in summer. However, when using the Nautically Calming Balm, I only needed to apply toner, emulsion, and the Calming Balm after cleansing, and I didn't feel any dryness. Despite having sensitive skin, I used it without any irritation, and it feels comfortable when applied. Texture: Slightly heavier than regular creams • It's a bit thicker, or should I say, it has a more substantial texture compared to regular creams. Application: Smooth and hydrating. No skin irritation. • I'm sensitive to cosmetics and sometimes experience stinging and redness when using the wrong products, but this one caused no irritation at all. It's sufficiently hydrating even with a small amount, so there's no need to apply too much. This prevents any heavy feeling, which is great. It also absorbs well into the skin. Scent: May be divisive due to the absence of fragrance. • As I have sensitive skin, I don't use cosmetics containing fragrances or colorants. Products without these additives don't artificially mask the natural scent of the ingredients, which some people might not like. However, it's better for your skin to use products without fragrances and colorants. Personally, I appreciate this aspect, so it wasn't an issue for me.
ConsI don't have any particular complaints. Since it's meant for nighttime use, it tends to cause some pilling with sunscreen or makeup if used during the day. I'll stick to using it at night.
TipI had high hopes that the Nautically Calming Balm would alleviate some of the discomfort I've been experiencing due to dry skin in my daily life. I'm pleased to say that it lived up to my expectations, and it's amazing how much my dryness has improved. Since a small amount is sufficient for hydration, applying too much might make it feel sticky and heavy. For me, using about a pea-sized amount for each cheek was plenty. As the weather gets colder and drier, layering it gradually should provide ample hydration.

After application, it feels like it forms a moisture barrier over time, making it great as a sleeping pack before bed. Even with my sensitive skin, I had no issues for almost two weeks. Once other skin problems like excess oil disappear, it could potentially be used on its own.
ConsWhen applying makeup after using this product, it causes pilling. It's most suitable for use before bedtime. I wouldn't recommend it as a base for makeup.
TipIt's perfect as a moisturizer when used after exfoliating or removing dead skin cells and excess oil.

Texture - It has an incredibly smooth texture that absorbs well! Despite being a balm, it's not too thick or prone to pilling, making it so easy to apply without any hassle! Scent - It's nearly fragrance-free! The tube packaging is convenient, which seems to minimize waste and prevent contamination. As a Hwahae Tester winner, I examined it closely and found the ingredients to be very gentle! I'm always meticulous about checking ingredients in skincare products! I have super sensitive skin that reddens easily with even slightly irritating or unsuitable products, but this one caused no irritation even when applied generously. The texture is hydrating and smooth, giving an immediate cooling effect upon application. Checking my skin condition after some time, I noticed it had a great soothing effect too. It works wonders when applied generously before bed on skin tired from the hot summer sun!! Highly recommended!
ConsWhile there aren't any major downsides, if I had to point out one: The finish is slightly sticky. Unlike the lightweight feel of ampoules or serums, perhaps because it's a balm, it does feel a bit sticky. Also, after some time, it seems like a slight oiliness surfaces on the skin. For these reasons, I recommend using it at night before bed! If applied in the morning, it might cause makeup to pill or make your skin look too dewy.
TipHighly recommended for its soothing effect before bedtime

This calming balm worked just as well for soothing my skin when used as a replacement
ConsIt might be due to the season or because I've applied too many skincare products beforehand, but when I layer this on top of multiple other products, it tends to pill
TipBe mindful of the amount you use, as it has a rich texture!

The packaging not only included instructions but also stickers - a nice touch! When I heard 'calming balm', I expected a thick, glossy texture, but it was surprisingly light and hydrating. It's actually lighter than what we typically think of as a balm. As someone with dry skin prone to blemishes, I'm not a fan of heavy cosmetics, so this was a pleasant surprise! I mainly used it after exfoliating or on days when I needed a deep cleanse. The next morning, I could definitely feel that my skin had calmed down. It was particularly effective in reducing redness and blackheads on my strawberry nose, which I'm always trying to manage. Although I received this as a promotional item, I'll definitely continue using it and would consider repurchasing. To sum up, it's a cream with a fine, slightly grainy texture. It comes in a tube with deep ocean blue packaging - fitting for the diving couple! It absorbs smoothly and is remarkably effective for soothing heat, redness, and irritation on the face. Would buy again!
ConsThis might feel a bit heavy during summer, making it difficult to use daily in hot weather. There's a high chance it could cause pilling if applied under makeup in the morning. I'd recommend it more for nighttime skincare.
TipIt's particularly beneficial to use on days when your skin has been exposed to irritants.

It glides on smoothly like a cream. - When I apply it to my skin at night and wake up the next morning, my skin feels noticeably softer.
Cons- It has a slightly slick, oily texture, so controlling the amount is crucial! I've noticed that when my skin isn't in great condition and I apply too much, I'm on the verge of getting blemishes. - It's not a formula that absorbs instantly, so it can cause some pilling with makeup. However, the instructions clearly state that this calming balm is for night care, so while it's not a major drawback, I'm mentioning it for your reference.
Tip- For combination dehydrated skin like mine, I think this would be better for replenishing oil and moisture balance in winter rather than summer. - For those with very dry, flaky skin, I'd recommend this for night care use anytime.

Effective Soothing It calms the skin overall and especially helps reduce redness and inflammatory acne! 2. Hydration The thick texture provides an immediate rich feeling with both moisture and oil. As I have combination skin leaning towards oily, I applied it mainly to areas prone to dryness and flaking! 3. Packaging and Fragrance-Free The blue packaging gives a refreshing vibe and looks pretty. While not completely scentless, it's nearly fragrance-free, making it easy to use even for someone like me who's sensitive to cosmetic scents.
ConsThis is perhaps the only significant drawback. It's more suitable for dry skin than oily, and better for winter than summer. Given its rich texture with both hydration and oil, it was clearly a bit heavy for my oily skin. Especially, even when applying a small amount, it seemed to cause pilling, making it uncomfortable to use before going out, except at bedtime.
TipFor those with oily or combination skin, try mixing a bit of this with your lighter summer moisturizer. This creates a formula that maintains hydration without feeling too heavy!

No irritation I didn't feel any tingling or discomfort at all while using it. 2. Texture A slightly rich moisturizer. While not overly sticky, it has a substantial feel with some richness. Might be better suited for winter than now. 3. Application Absorbs well and spreads easily. After applying, it doesn't give a dewy finish, but leaves a subtle, luminous glow.
Cons1. Pilling, pilling, pilling... When makeup pills, it's just unusable... Especially with mineral sunscreen, it pills 99% of the time. Can only use it on bare skin. 2. Too heavy for summer Given this summer's extreme humidity, it felt rather heavy and suffocating to wear. Might be worth retesting in winter.
TipDecent moisturizer overall In this incredibly humid weather, I've been using it more as a hand cream than on my face.

My skin barrier was compromised due to folliculitis, but after using this product, I could visibly see my skin normalizing day by day. It's incredibly gentle, and as soon as you apply it, you can feel it adhering to your skin, creating a hydrating and moisturizing barrier. Not only does it feel great, but it instantly makes your skin dewy, and by the next morning, your skin becomes as soft as a baby's bottom! To be honest, it didn't immediately clear up my blemishes, but even after just a day or two of use, it effectively tackles sensitive skin, redness, and dryness. Although it's unscented and has a balm-like texture, it applies smoothly, making it great for both portability and application. If I ever run out, I'm 10000% willing to purchase this product with my own money!
ConsWhen applied before morning makeup, it might pill a bit due to its balm-like texture. It's an excellent product for nighttime care!
TipAs mentioned in the product description, it seems to be more effective when you reduce the number of products you use and apply this one in thin layers!
